Title: Improvements in the production of glazed fabrics
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 1939-01-13
Abstract: 523,731. Coated fabrics; compound fabrics. TOOTAL BROADHURST LEE CO., Ltd., CORTEEN, H., FOULDS, R. P., and WOOD, F. C. Jan. 13, 1939, No. 1184. [Class 140] A glazed or polished fabric is made by applying successively to the fabric thin layers of an artificial polymerized rubber-like material and a synthetic resin of the urea-formaldehyde type. Suitable polymers include the material known under the trade Names "Igeplast" and "Rhoplex," polymerized vinyl acetylene, butadiene and isobutylene, polyacrylic acid esters, polymethacrylic acid, polyvinyl esters and as the acetate and chloride, polyvinyl alcohols, ethers and acetals, polystyrene and polyethylene. They may be applied as solutions in organic solvents or in aqueous dispersions or as pre-formed films. Synthetic resins of the urea-formaldehyde type include those made from thiourea and analogous substances. They may contain additions of plasticizers or cellulose nitrate. A preferred resin is a urea-formaldehyde resin modified with an alkyd resin, e.g., " Bedafin (Registered Trade Mark). The viscosity of the rubber-like polymer should be such that it does not penetrate to the back of the fabric. Dispersions may be thickened by fillers or by adding ammonium or triethanolamine lactate or oleate in the presence of excess of the base. The fabric may be filled, dyed or printed prior to coating. A resin-treated fabric may be used or a watersoluble condensation product may be applied after the rubber-like layer and before the synthetic resin. Specification 521,906 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in the saponification of filaments, threads, yarns, fabrics and the like having a basis of organic ester of cellulose
IPC: D06M11/38
Filed: 1934-01-15
Abstract: Filaments, threads, ribbons, and like materials composed substantially of organic esters of cellulose are saponified by a bath treatment with an alkaline saponifying agent in the presence of small quantities of a salt of the said agent with an aromatic substance of weakly acid reaction.  Suitable aromatic substances of weakly acid reaction are phenol, its homologues such as cresol, di- and polyhydric phenols such as resorcinol, pyrocatechin, hydroquinone, phloroglucinol, or pyrogallol, or substitution products of phenols such as salicylic and or even benzoic acid. The saponifying agent is preferably aqueous caustic soda or potash of relatively low concentration, e.g. 1 to 4 per cent or less or of higher concentration, e.g. 5--15 per cent.  The bath may be at atmospheric temperature or less, but higher temperature up to just short of the boiling point of the bath may be employed.  The phenol should comprise 0,2 up to 1 per cent of the total saponifying bath.  The materials may be treated in the form of a hank or other package or be drawn through the bath continuously preferably in warp formation. The saponification may be partial or complete.  The weakly acid substance may be added to the bath as such to form a salt with the saponifying agent or the preformed salt may be added to the bath, or the yarn, thread, fabric or the like may first be impregnated with the weakly acid substance or the salt and then introduced into the bath of saponifying agent. When impregnating with a phenolic substance in the free state, insufficient solution should be avoided unless mutual adherence of the filaments to make a monofil or ribbon is desired.  Swelling agents such as ethylene methylene ether, dioxane or acetone may be incorporated in the saponifying medium. The tensile strength of the treated materials may be improved by stretching before the saponifying treatment and during or after their spinning, e.g. to 200--500 per cent of their original length. Preferably cellulose ester of high viscosity are employed, e.g. in the case of cellulose acetate 40--200 or more as measured by comparing a 6 per cent solution of the acetate in acetone with glycerine as 100.  According to the Provisional Specification the weakly acid substance may itself be present during the saponification, the materials may comprise any ester of cellulose and buffer salts such as sodium acetate or compounds of strong alkalis with weak acids generally or swelling agents such as amyl acetate, diacetone alcohol, ethers, esters, and ether-esters of olefine and poly-olefine glycols, and methyl ethyl ketone may be present in the saponifying medium.

Filed: 1941-02-04
Abstract: 544,181. Kinematograph films. TECHNICOLOR MOTION PICTURE CORPORATION. Feb. 4, 1941, No. 1467. Convention date, March 27, 1940. [Class 98 (ii)] Wear at the sprocket holes of a film having a gelatin or like coating over its full width is reduced by hardening the gelatin in the sprocket hole margins. The gelatin &c. in the picture areas may be hardened to a lesser degree. The hardening may be effected by local application of a partially-neutralized solution of chrome or potash alum, preferably while the gelatin is already wet, e.g. after development &c. In the case of a film bearing a silver print upon which imbibition prints are to be superimposed, the film bearing the developed silver print is first hardened all over to the degree desired for imbibition printing, the hardening solution is rinsed off, superficial water is blown off, the margins are treated to harden the gelatin further as described above, and the imbibition prints are then applied. Apparatus for treating the margins may comprise a bracket 2, which is mounted on an upright (e.g. the wall of a drying chamber), and supports film guide rollers and an applicator roller 4 provided with felt rings 18 which are supplied with hardening liquid from a reservoir (not shown) from which a pipe 24 discharges into the hollow axle 15 of the roller 4, the axle communicating with the rings 18 via holes 17, space 20 and holes 16. A modified apparatus is described in which the film is fed past stationary brushes wiping each margin, the brushes being mounted in the ends of tubes to which the liquid is supplied through flexible extension tubes. In both forms, the film, after leaving the applicator, may pass into a drying chamber.
