Abstract
Abstract A process for the manufacture of electroconductive non-woven fabrics which comprises A. cleaning the fabrics with a polar organic solvent and, after elimination of the solvent, B. sensitizing them with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of tin-II chloride, C. activating them with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of palladium chloride, and D. treating them with a mixture of a tenside-free binder dispersion and a metastable aqueous metal salt solution, and subsequently drying them; the fabrics being rinsed with water after each of the steps (b) and (c) is provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A process for the manufacture of electroconductive, non-woven fabrics which comprises the steps of (a) cleaning a non-woven fabric with a polar organic solvent, (b) sensitizing the fiber surfaces of the fabric with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of tin-II chloride, (c) rinsing the fabric with water, (d) activating the fiber surfaces with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of palladium chloride, (e) again rinsing the fabric with water, and (f) treating the sensitized and activated fiber surfaces of the non-woven fabric with a mixture of an aqueous tenside-free dispersion of an organic polymeric binder and a metastable aqueous metal salt solution to deposit said metal on said fiber surfaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
A process for the manufacture of electroconductive, non-woven fabrics which comprises the steps of (a) cleaning a non-woven fabric with a polar organic solvent, (b) sensitizing the fiber surfaces of the fabric with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of tin-II chloride, (c) rinsing the fabric with water, (d) activating the fiber surfaces with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of palladium chloride, (e) again rinsing the fabric with water, and (f) treating the sensitized and activated fiber surfaces of the non-woven fabric with a mixture of an aqueous tenside-free dispersion of an organic polymeric binder and a metastable aqueous metal salt solution to deposit said metal on said fiber surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
113 words
A process for the manufacture of an electroconductive, non-woven fabric which comprises (a) cleaning the fabric with a chlorinated organic solvent, (b) sensitizing the fiber surfaces of the non-woven fabric with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of tin-II chloride, (c) rinsing the fabric with water, (d) activating the fiber surfaces with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of palladium chloride, (e) again rinsing the fabric with water, and (f) treating the fiber surfaces of the fabric with a mixture of an aqueous tenside-free dispersion of an organic polymeric binder and an aqueous solution of a metal salt selected from copper and nickel salts to deposit said metal on the fiber surfaces of said fabric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
113 words
