Benefits of technology

[0018]To overcome or conspicuously ameliorate the disadvantages of the related art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a flame resistant drywall installation capable of passing open flame tests such as ASTM E119. In the preferred usages of the present invention, a FR corespun woven and a FR stitchbonded fabric are adhered between layers of conventional gypsum drywall panels, with the use of standard latex wall paint, and tested according to standard FR test methods such as: American Standard Testing Method E119. The continuous filament fiberglass corespun FR woven fabric imparts outstanding strength to the drywall, when it is impinged by direct flame, and the continuous filament fiberglass corespun stitched nonwoven batting provides a strong insulation layer to slowdown the transmission of heat through the inorganic drywall paneling, when exposed to direct flame.

Problems solved by technology

The usual drywall board comprising gypsum between two layers of paper is not sufficiently fire resistant for hospitals and public buildings, nor is the painted fiber board that is presently available.

Fiberglass Corespun Fr Fabrics for use in Flame Resistant Drywall Installations

[0035]A 6.0 ounce per square yard (osy) batting of 100% cotton is stitchbonded with 14 / 1 Alessandra corespun yarn such that the final fabric weight is 8.0 osy. The stitchbonded FR fabric has the equivalent of 20% Alessandra corespun yarn and 80% cotton batting.

The Alessandra Corespun Stitching Yarn Consisted of:

[0036]melamine fiber (Basofil Fiber)—(in sheath)[0037]modacrylic fiber—(in sheath)[0038]polyester fiber—(in sheath)[0039]multifilament fiberglass—(in core)[0040]multifilament nylon fiber—(in core)

[0041]A 5.0 osy woven 44×34 twill fabric of 10 / 1 Alessandra corespun yarn, consisting of the fiber blend described above, is painted with standard latex paint and applied to one side of a ⅝″ drywall panel. The stitchbonded nonwoven fabric described above is also painted with latex paint and applied to a second ⅝″ drywall panel.

Abstract

Provided is a flame resistant drywall installation, especially those designed to meet ASTM E119. The installations comprise the use of fiberglass corespun flame resistant (FR) woven and fiberglass corespun stitchbonded nonwoven fabrics. The preferred forms of the woven and stitchbonded fabric used in this invention include:WOVEN FABRIC: A 3-8 opsy woven fabric consisting of fiberglass corespun yarns as described below.STITCHBONDED FABRIC: A 4-10 nonwoven batting of 100% cotton, 100% rayon, 100% lyocell, cotton / non-FR fiber blends, rayon / non-FR fiber blends or lyocell / non-FR fiber blends stitched with fiberglass corespun yarns as described below.Fiberglass corespun weaving and stitching yarns, for use in the invention, include those known in the textile industry as Alessandra® yarn (U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,146,759; 6,287,690; 6,410,140; 6,606,846; 6,553,749 by McKinnon Land LLC) and Firegard® yarn (by Springs Industries).The two fabric types mentioned above are used in tandom, between layers of conventional gypsum style drywall paneling to obtain a higher flame rating than would otherwise be able to be obtain in a layered drywall construction which does not include these fabrics. Conventional latex paint or flame resistant coating materials can be used to adhere the fabrics between the drywall paneling.
