Wrinkled fabrics comprising ultraviolet absorbers are disclosed which provide improvements in ultraviolet transmission, wearer comfort, and cost over those of the prior art. The preferred fabric is polyester and the preferred UV absorbers are chlorobenzotriazoles. The polyester is wrinkled permanently so as to provide an extra barrier to ultraviolet radiation from solely utilizing UV absorbers alone. This wrinkled product is also more comfortable to a wearer, particularly in warm weather or hotter climates. Other non-apparel uses are also contemplated including tents, awnings, and crowd covers. A method of making such a fabric is also disclosed comprising stuffing a jet dyeing machine with a more than normal load amount of fabric and eventually heat setting such resultant wrinkles into the finished product.

Sun protective fabric

A method and apparatus for treatment of relatively moving substrate materials and the novel products produced thereby created by precise application of high temperature pressurized streams of fluid against the surface of the materials to melt and remove material which imparts a recessed channel to the materials that facilitates separation of the materials. The apparatus includes an elongate manifold for receiving heated pressurized fluid, such as air, disposed across the width of the relatively moving material and having a single slit the full width of the substrate for directing the fluid into the surface of the material. The substrate material is treated with an acrylic resin to eliminate jagged or frayed edges either prior to or after the melting and removal process by means of the high temperature pressurized fluid streams.

An aqueous adhesive composition for bonding reinforcing textiles to rubber products is provided, having an epoxy resin with a functionality of three or greater and a rubber latex functionalized with pendent groups selected from carboxyl, amide and pyridyl groups.

Adhesive composition

An apparatus and method for creation of moire fabric. This can be achieved by placing a first piece of fabric against a support member and directing at least one stream of fluid at the surface of said first piece of fabric to provide lateral yarn displacement. Then delivering said stream at a peak dynamic pressure in excess of about 300 p.s.i.g. and less than 4,000 p.s.i.g. and selectively interrupting and re-establishing contact between said stream and said surface in accordance with pattern information in order to pattern said first piece of fabric. This is followed by combining said patterned first piece of fabric with an unpatterned second piece of fabric in overlapping relationship and applying pressure by means of calender rolls having smooth surfaces to said combination of said first piece of patterned fabric and said second piece of unpatterned fabric.

Method for removal of substrate material by means of heated pressurized

According to the process by which the textile material is made, the titanium dioxide pigment having a particle size of at least about 0.18 micron is exhausted from a dispersion of same onto the textile material at a pH below approximately 7.5. Subsequent heat setting of the polyester textile material improves retention of the titanium dioxide pigment.

A detergent composition is provided which contains a detergent and a cellulose acetate polymeric anti-redeposition agent having a degree of substitution of the acetyl moiety of from about 0.5 to about 2.3. The cellulose acetate polymeric anti-redeposition agent may be represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein x is an integer of at least about 25, n is about 2.5 to about 0.7, and the expression 3-n is the degree of substitution of the acetyl moiety.

Laundry detergent containing cellulose acetate anti-redeposition agent

A method for producing an elastomer modified textile material which comprises coating a textile substrate with at least 1 weight percent of an amine substituted elastomer, curing the resulting elastomer coated substrate, and thereafter recovering the elastomer modified material. The elastomer modified material possesses improved adhesion properties for subsequent laminating of a second substrate thereto.

Elastomer modified textile material and method of producing same

An aqueous fabric treating composition for improving the particulate redeposition properties, as well as the soil release properties, of a polyester textile material during a laundering process is provided in which the aqueous fabric treating composition contains, as essential ingredients, from about 0.0001 to about 10 weight percent of a cellulose ether soil release agent and an effective amount of an anti-redeposition agent selected from the group consisting of citric acid and acidic acrylic copolymers containing from about 10 weight percent to about 90 weight percent of the acid constituent, such being calculated as acrylic acid. The effective amount of the anti-redeposition agent is that amount sufficient to provide a ratio of the anti-redeposition agent to the cellulose ether soil release agent of from about 1.5:1 to about 10:1. A method for improving the particulate redeposition properties of polyester textile materials during the laundering process, while providing desirable soil release properties to such materials, as well as the products so produced, is also provided.
