  • 5 Vinyon

    Vinyon is derived from a vinyl resin, which is known chemically as a co-polymer of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate. The vinyl resin, in the form of a dry powder, is dispersed in acetone, the dispersion is then filtered through a filter press, and de-aerated by allowing it to stand for 48 hours. Extrusion of the filaments is carried out by a dry spinning process. After the filaments have been allowed to stand for at least 12 hours, they are wet twisted, and the twisted yarn is then stretched by means of a suitable device to about 140 per cent of its original length. Two types called Type 1 and Type 2 are in general use. Vinyon E, produced by a modified process, has high elasticity and differs from the regular types of Vinyon in certain other properties. Applications for Vinyon include filter fabrics, fish lines, nets, acid and alkali resistant fabrics and clothing, protective pipe covering, elastic insulation, shower curtains, bathing suits, waterproof clothing, fireproof awnings and curtains, hosiery and fusible shape-retaining fabrics. Staple fibres mixed with cotton or wool are used in making felts and permit production of fabrics which will maintain a pressed crease or fold. Vinyon E is suitable where high elasticity is desirable in cords, braids and woven or knitted fabrics. Uses include suspension for jungle hammocks, heavy duty suspenders for aviators' suits, surgical stockings, knee braces and metatarsal bandages.

  • 12 Fibreglas

    Fibreglas textile fibres are produced by two methods, the continuous filament process and staple fibre process. In each process glass marbles, made from melted and refined raw materials are remelted in small electrical furnaces, each of which has many small holes in the base of the melting chamber, through which the molten glass flows in fine streams by gravity. In the continuous filament process more than 100 filaments are drawn simultaneously and gathered into a thread or strand. The strand is attached to a high-speed winder that, as it draws the strand, attentuates each stream of molten glass to a fraction of the diameter of the hole through which it emerges. In the staple fibre process the streams of molten glass are struck by jets of high-pressure air or steam which attentuate the glass into fibres varying in length from 8-in. to 15-in. These fibres are driven on to a revolving drum on which they form a web, which is gathered from the drum and wound on to a tube in the form of a sliver. Strands of either continuous filament or staple fibres are twisted and plied into yarns on standard textile machinery. Fibreglas yarns are particularly suitable where fire-proofness, resistance to acids or other chemicals other than alkalis is demanded. Uses include electrical yarns, cords, tapes, cloths and sleevings which form the basis for a plain and varnished or impregnated electrical insulation material; chemical filter fabrics, anode bags used in electroplating, wicking for oil lamps and stoves, pump diaphragms, special fabrics for resisting high-temperature fumes and acids, facing materials for insulating or acoustical blankets, also rubber-coated, acid-proof and waterproof fabrics. Decorative uses include draperies, shower curtains, tablecloths, bedspreads, lamp shades and some apparel accessories, such as men's neckties. Also decorative work in architecture, dress fabrics, particularly for fancy effects, non-stretching cord for use in radio indicating dials, bookbinding, fire-screens, etc.

  • 13 Healds

    This is a term applied to looped cords which are furnished with an eye in the centre and employed in looms for controlling the up and down movements of the warp threads. In the majority of cases there is a separate heald eye for each warp thread, and those healds which lift in the same manner are threaded on the same stave except in those cases where that would make the healds too crowded. In such cases the healds are divided on two or three shafts which may be tied together to lift as one if weaving conditions permit. Healds are formed by a knitting machine which is set to form the required number of heald eyes per inch on each stave, or in the case of spaced healds with the heald eyes arranged in the desired order on the stave. The yarns used may be cotton or worsted (see Hea'd Yarns). In knitted healds the eye is usually formed from the same yarn as the rest of the heald, but healds can be made with metal eyes. Metal healds are made of twisted wire galvanised or treated to be rustless, and formed with an eye in the centre for the warp thread and elongated upper and lower eyes for threading on flat steel bars that are secured to the heald staves proper at the top and bottom. Such healds are usually of the sliding type and eliminate the need for healds knit to pattern. Wire healds are also combined with knitting to give a prescribed number of eyes per inch.
