Treatment of Kynol fiber materials – Part 2: antistatic and water-repellent functionalization

Kynol fibers are flame retardant high performance fibers. Without further treatment they do not exhibit significant antistatic or water-repellent properties. With this background, several conventional agents and one hydrophobic finishing agent evaluated to introduce these properties fiber materials. Also, the combination of both is investigated realize bifunctional By application agents, electric surface resistance materials can be decreased values smaller 108 W, which a good value related agent, water repellent introduced However, simultaneously decreased. The types in kind lead intermediate effects combined with an repellency. Nevertheless, no single excellent property gained. tested on selected samples after processes. No change determined, if applied. For this, presented results starting point for development functionalized products.
