Filed:

Nov 30, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/856042

Inventors:

Ricky L. Moore - Atlanta GA
Winston E. Hagborg - Columbus GA

Assignee:

West Point-Pepperell, Inc. - West Point GA

International Classification:

B05D 508
B05D 702
B05D 118

US Classification:

428378

Abstract:

Flock is treated with a long chain aliphatic acid or a salt of such an acid to control static charges, increase flow and reduce waste. The acid or salt is applied from a solution in a non-aqueous liquid.

Filed:

Feb 20, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/659629

Inventors:

Ricky L. Moore - Atlanta GA
Winston E. Hagborg - Columbus GA

Assignee:

West Point-Pepperell Inc. - West Point GA

International Classification:

B05D 508
B05D 702
B05D 118

US Classification:

428378

Abstract:

Flock is treated with a metal salt of a long chain aliphatic acid to control static charges, increase flow and reduce waste. The salt may be applied from a water solution, or from an aqueous mixture of the metal and the acid under high shear mixing conditions under which at least a part of the acid is converted to the salt.

International Classification:

B05C 318

US Classification:

118 33

Abstract:

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a manifold in the form of a pipe having a closed end is utilized to supply a finishing agent to orifices arranged at spaced intervals along the pipe. A foam material surrounds the manifold to receive the finishing agent and to apply it in a thin film to the curved surface of an element comprising a longitudinal section of a cylinder. The film is retained on the curved surface by surface tension as it moves under the force of gravity to a longitudinal edge of the cylindrical section. A web of fabric is tensioned against the section edge as the fabric moves past the cylindrical section. The direction of fabric movement is such that the film of finishing agent is applied to the fabric immediately ahead of the line of contact between the fabric and the section edge.
