Low-shrink polypropylene tape fibers

Improvements in preventing heat- and moisture-shrink problems in specific polypropylene tape fibers are provided. Such fibers are basically manufactured through the initial production of polypropylene films or tubes which are then slit into very thin, though flat (and having very high cross sectional aspect ratios) tape fibers thereafter. Such fibers (and thus the initial films and/or tubes) require the presence of certain compounds that quickly and effectively provide rigidity to the target polypropylene tape fiber after heat-setting. Generally, these compounds include any structure that nucleates polymer crystals within the target polypropylene after exposure to sufficient heat to melt the initial pelletized polymer and upon allowing such a melt to cool. The compounds must nucleate polymer crystals at a higher temperature than the target polypropylene without the nucleating agent during cooling. In such a manner, the “rigidifying” nucleator compounds provide nucleation sites for polypropylene crystal growth. Upon slitting of the initial film and/or tube, the fiber is then exposed to sufficient heat to grow the crystalline network, thus holding the fiber in a desired position. The preferred “rigidifying” compounds include dibenzylidene sorbitol based compounds, as well as less preferred compounds, such as sodium benzoate, certain sodium and lithium phosphate salts (such as sodium 2,2′-methylene-bis-(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate, otherwise known as NA-11). Specific methods of manufacture of such inventive tape fibers, as well as fabric articles made therefrom, are also encompassed within this invention.

Method for Stabilizing a Pile Fabric Such as Pile Carpet with a Reinforcing Back and Web According to the Method

A conventional method for producing pile carpet, e.g. pile carpet whose pile fibers are tufted into a support layer, consists in providing the back side of the support layer with a non-woven and in linking said nonwoven with the support layer and with the dorsal fibers of the pile fibers by hydrodynamic needle-punching.

The pile fibers are tufted into the composite support layer, the back of the intermediate product is covered with an additional fleece which consists preferably of the fusible fibers, all the components are hydrodynamically needle-punched, and the product is heat-treated in order to melt the fibers.
