Abstract
Abstract In the manufacture of flocked textiles by applying a polymer emulsion, flocking and drying, a heat-sensitized polymer emulsion is used and the emulsion coat is first only gelled, by heating, in the zone adjoining the textile substrate, and is then flocked and dried at an elevated temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
In a process for flocking textile substrate by applying a thin layer of an aqueous polymer emulsion to the substrate, flocking, and subsequently drying the flocked substrate at an elevated temperature of up to 200° C, the improvement which comprises applying a thin layer of a heat-sensitized aqueous polymer emulsion to the textile substrate and, simultaneously with its application or immediately thereafter, gelling the emulsion coat in its zone adjoining the textile substrate by heat applied from the textile substrate, in such a way that the zone remote from the textile substrate does not gel, and then flocking the substrate and subsequently drying the flocked substrate at elevated temperatures.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
In a process for flocking textile substrate by applying a thin layer of an aqueous polymer emulsion to the substrate, flocking, and subsequently drying the flocked substrate at an elevated temperature of up to 200° C, the improvement which comprises applying a thin layer of a heat-sensitized aqueous polymer emulsion to the textile substrate and, simultaneously with its application or immediately thereafter, gelling the emulsion coat in its zone adjoining the textile substrate by heat applied from the textile substrate, in such a way that the zone remote from the textile substrate does not gel, and then flocking the substrate and subsequently drying the flocked substrate at elevated temperatures.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the aqueous polymer emulsion contains as heat sensitizer an oxyalkylated amine with inverse solubility characteristics.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process as claimed in claim 2 wherein the oxyalkylated amine is a polyfunctional aliphatic amine oxyalkylated with a compound selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process as claimed in claim 2 wherein the aqueous polymer emulsion has a pH of less than 4 and contains 2 to 10 percent by weight of oxyalkylated amine based on polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the emulsion coat is gelled through a minor proportion of its thickness.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the zone of the emulsion coat to be gelled is heated to from 40° to 60° C.
