Terry product

a technology of yarn and product, applied in the field of yarn products, can solve the problems of reducing the absorbency and absorption rate of the products furnished with plasticizers, exhibiting a lower bulkiness and bulk stability than products made of 100% cotton, and not showing sufficient bulk stability, etc., to achieve excellent bulkiness and excellent bulk stability

Benefits of technology

[0012]It is the object of the present invention to provide terry products which meet the demands made on such textile articles in an excellent manner without exhibiting the above-mentioned disadvantages of prior art products.
[0014]Surprisingly, it has been found that the use of “man-made” cellulose fibers, i.e., viscose fibers, modal fibers, polynosic fibers and lyocell fibers, in a specific titer range of from more than 1.7 dtex to 4.5 dtex in a terry product causes the products according to the invention to exhibit both excellent bulkiness and excellent bulk stability.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, plasticizers substantially reduce the absorbency and absorption rate of products furnished therewith.
Without the use of plasticizers and fabric softeners, terry products made of conventional modal fibers are soft and also absorbent but exhibit a lower bulkiness and a lower bulk stability than products made of 100% cotton.
Terry products comprising a mixture of cotton and conventional modal fibers are soft, absorbent and have sufficient bulkiness but do not exhibit sufficient bulk stability.

Examples

Effect test

example 1

[0033]The warp of the base material consists of a 100% cotton yarn (Ne23.5 / 2 or Ne12 / 1), the weft also consists of 100% cotton—(Ne 16.5 / 1). For the pile, a blended yarn made up of 50% modal fibers (2.5 dtex, cutting length 38 mm) and 50% cotton (Ne 16.5 / 1) is used. The finished product exhibits excellent absorbency, high bulkiness and excellent bulk stability. The article has an inherently soft and pleasant feel. Finishing with plasticizers is not required but actually has adverse effects since the absorbency and absorption rate are clearly reduced.

example 2

[0034]The warp of the base material consists, as in Example 1, of a 100% cotton yarn (Ne23.5 / 2 or Ne12 / 1) and the weft consists of 100% cotton—Ne 16.5 / 1. For the pile, a yarn mixture of 88% modal fibers (2.5 dtex, cutting length 51 mm) and 12% PVA (Ne 12 zero-twist yarn) is used. During the further processing of the product, the PVA fibers are extracted, whereby the weight of the product is reduced. The finished product exhibits excellent absorbency and a very high volume of the looped yarn. Due to the improved fiber bonding in the looped yarn as a result of using a 2.5 dtex modal fiber with a cutting length of 51 mm, such a towel loses far less fibers during use than a comparable towel from a zero-twist yarn made of cotton.

example 3

[0035]The warp of the base material consists of a 100% cotton yarn (Ne23.5 / 2 or Ne12 / 1), the weft also consists of 100% cotton—(Ne 16.5 / 1). For the pile, a blended yarn made up of 50% modal fibers having a trilobal fiber cross-section (2.5 dtex, cutting length 38 mm) and 50% cotton (Ne 16.5 / 1) is used. The finished product exhibits excellent absorbency, high bulkiness and excellent bulk stability. The article has an inherently soft and pleasant feel. Finishing with plasticizers is not required but actually has adverse effects since the absorbency and absorption rate are clearly reduced. Bulkiness, bulk stability, absorption rate and absorbency are once more improved in comparison to Example 1.

Abstract

The invention relates to a terry product consisting of a textile base material and a pile associated with the base material, which is characterized in that the base material and / or the pile comprise(s) at least partially a cellulose fiber selected from the group consisting of viscose fibers, modal fibers, polynosic fibers and lyocell, which cellulose fiber has a titer of more than

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a terry product which consists, in a manner known per se, of a textile base material and a pile associated with the base material.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Terry products are textile articles with a particular absorbency and a pleasant feel, which are used, in particular, in the fields of home textiles and sports articles. The pile (in particular in the form of yarn loops) which is associated with a textile base material, e.g. a fabric, is characteristic of terry products.[0005]For the purposes of the present invention, the term “terry product” covers especially but not exclusively products such as terry cloths, velour terry products, milled terry products and twisted terry products.[0006]Terry products, e.g. towels, have to meet specific demands especially in terms of their softness, their absorbency, their bulkiness and their bulk stability (during storage, a stack of towels must not s...
