Appl. No.:

14/005142

Inventors:

Wae-Hai Tung - Marietta GA, US
Ronnie Rittenhouse - Calhoun GA, US
Daniel Reynolds - Chattanooga TN, US

International Classification:

A47G 27/02
D06M 15/277
D02G 3/34

US Classification:

428 92, 427177, 118 72, 428371, 28159

Abstract:

Disclosed are processes for applying anti-soil compositions onto BCF yarns during cable or air twisting processes prior to weaving, knitting or tufting into finished carpet. The process foregoes the need for downstream environmentally unfavorable dyeing and low pH chemical treatment processes on the finished carpet. The anti-soil composition can be comprised of a high specific surface energy chemical or other material, for example a fluorochemical. Further, the anti-soil composition can further comprise an anti-stain component. Also disclosed are systems, BCF yarns, and carpets made from the BCF yarn treated by the disclosed process.

Abstract:

Disclosed are processes for applying dyes, stain blocker and anti-soil compositions on BCF yarns during cable or air twisting processes, or heat setting processes, prior to weaving, knitting or tufting. Further discloses are process for applying dyes, stain blocker and anti-soil compositions on BCF yarns prior to heat setting. The processes forego the need to dye and otherwise treat carpets and other textiles made from the BCF yarn using current methods. Also disclosed are systems, BCF yarns, and carpets made from the BCF yarn treated by the disclosed process.
