Abstract
The method consists of introducing a composite gas into an aqueous cleaningsolution and placing it in contact with the fibres to be cleaned by means ofa pressurised spray. The aqueous cleaning solution comprises a bindingsurfactant, basic salts and solvents, with the possible addition of fragrantessences. The composite gas is essentially composed of nitrogen.
Description
<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
Procédé de nettoyage pour tapis et moquettes La présente invention est relative au nettoyage de tapis, de moquettes, de carpettes et autres tissus à base de fibres textiles et concerne un procédé de nettoyage qui permet de nettoyer en profondeur très efficacement et très rapidement.
Le but de l'invention est de créer un procédé de nettoyage plus efficace que les procédés traditionnels.
Actuellement, on connaît sur le marché des procédés tels que ceux faisant appel à un shampooinage, à une injection-extraction, à des poudres sèches ou encore à une machine à vapeur.
Le procédé suivant l'invention consiste à introduire dans une solution aqueuse de nettoyage un gaz composé et de mettre l'ensemble en contact avec les fibres
EMI1.1
N à nettoyer au moyen d'un spray pressurisé. Suivant l'invention la solution aqueuse de nettoyage comprend un surfactant de liaison, des sels basiques et des solvants, avec addition éventuelle d'essences parfumées.
Egalement suivant l'invention le gaz composé est constitué d'azote additionné éventuellement d'argon et/ou de C02.
L'invention est décrite ci-après avec plus de détails.
La solution de nettoyage, préparée à partir de concentrés, est une solution aqueuse comprenant = 6 % desolvants, 5 % de sels basiques et + 2 % d'un surfactant de liaison, le reste étant de l'eau.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
La solution de nettoyage a un pH alcalin peu élevé, inférieur à 10, de manière à ne pas attaquer certaines fibres textiles.
L'ajoute de gaz composé amène une diminution de pH faible mais suffisante pour que le nettoyant devienne neutre pour les fibres textiles.
Comme constituants du gaz composé on utilise normalement de l'azote, de l'argon et du C02 dans les proportions suivantes : + 60 % d'azote, + 20 % d'argon, + 20 % de C02 sous pression à + 3 bar.
Des essais ont montré que l'on pouvait utiliser l'azote avec l'argon ou avec le C02 seulement mais une diminution d'efficacité est perçue alors dans le nettoyage.
D'autres essais ont aussi montré que l'on pouvait travailler avec la solution de nettoyage injectée d'azote et d'argon avec dans la solution un bloc de glace sèche de dioxyde de carbone. La difficulté ici réside dans le fait d'avoir toujours à portée un stock de glace.
La solution de nettoyage est préparée dans une citerne portable, pouvant être mise sous pression, et hermétique. Le gaz composé, se présentant en bouteille sous pression et hermétique, est injecté dans la citerne et le nettoyant additionné du gaz composé est envoyé sur les fibres à nettoyer par une lance vaporisatrice, qui par ses petits orifices réalise un jet de fines gouttelettes s'infiltrant partout dans la masse de fibres.
<Desc/Clms Page number 3>
Les bouteilles pressurisées permettent de contrôler et de surveiller le gaz composé entrant dans le nettoyant.
De nombreux tests ont montré que le procédé suivant l'invention permet de nettoyer les fibres avec un rendement de 40 % à 60 % plus efficace et plus rapide que sans le gaz composé. D'autre part, ces tests ont aussi montré que ce procédé de nettoyage est de deux à quatre fois plus efficace que les procédés traditionnels.
L'usage dans le nettoyant des produits chimiques tels que décrits réalise une émulsification des saletés, qui remontent lentement à la surface par un effet de compression et d'effervescence. Une fois à la surface, ces saletés peuvent disparaître par des méthodes traditionnelles. L'usage du gaz composé favorise un séchage rapide des fibres traitées et élimine la quasi totalité du nettoyant utilisé.
Le procédé de nettoyage suivant l'invention présente divers avantages, tels que : - les fibres sèchent très rapidement et il ne reste pas de résidus après séchage.
- le nettoyant ne cause aucun dommage aux fibres tex- tiles.
- le procédé, qui enlève les saletés, protège contre un encrassement trop rapide.
- la composition de nettoyage n'est pas toxique et est ininflammable et laisse les fibres et les tis- sus nettoyés très doux au toucher.

The present invention relates to the cleaning of carpets, rugs, rugs and other fabrics based on textile fibers and relates to a cleaning process which makes it possible to clean in depth very effectively and very quickly.
The object of the invention is to create a cleaning process which is more efficient than traditional methods.
Currently, processes are known on the market such as those using shampoo, injection-extraction, dry powders or even a steam engine.
The process according to the invention consists in introducing a compound gas into an aqueous cleaning solution and bringing the assembly into contact with the fibers.
EMI1.1
N to be cleaned with a pressurized spray. According to the invention, the aqueous cleaning solution comprises a binding surfactant, basic salts and solvents, with the optional addition of scented essences.
Also according to the invention the compound gas consists of nitrogen optionally added with argon and / or C02.
The invention is described below in more detail.
The cleaning solution, prepared from concentrates, is an aqueous solution comprising = 6% of solvents, 5% of basic salts and + 2% of a binding surfactant, the rest being water.
<Desc / Clms Page number 2>
The cleaning solution has a low alkaline pH, less than 10, so as not to attack certain textile fibers.
The addition of compound gas brings about a small but sufficient decrease in pH so that the cleaner becomes neutral for textile fibers.
As constituents of the compound gas, nitrogen, argon and C02 are normally used in the following proportions: + 60% nitrogen, + 20% argon, + 20% C02 under pressure at + 3 bar .
Tests have shown that nitrogen can be used with argon or with C02 only, but a reduction in efficiency is then perceived in cleaning.
Other tests have also shown that it is possible to work with the cleaning solution injected with nitrogen and argon with in the solution a block of dry carbon dioxide ice. The difficulty here is that you always have a supply of ice on hand.
The cleaning solution is prepared in a portable, airtight, and airtight tank. The compound gas, presented in a pressurized and hermetic bottle, is injected into the tank and the cleaner with the compound gas sent to the fibers to be cleaned by a spray lance, which by its small orifices produces a jet of fine droplets infiltrating everywhere in the mass of fibers.
<Desc / Clms Page number 3>
Pressurized cylinders are used to control and monitor the compound gas entering the cleaner.
Numerous tests have shown that the process according to the invention makes it possible to clean the fibers with a yield of 40% to 60% more efficient and faster than without the compound gas. On the other hand, these tests have also shown that this cleaning process is two to four times more efficient than traditional processes.
The use in the cleaner of the chemicals as described achieves an emulsification of the dirt, which rises slowly to the surface by a compression and effervescence effect. Once on the surface, this dirt can disappear by traditional methods. The use of compound gas promotes rapid drying of the treated fibers and eliminates almost all of the cleaner used.
The cleaning process according to the invention has various advantages, such as: the fibers dry very quickly and no residue remains after drying.
- the cleaner does not cause any damage to the textile fibers.
- the process, which removes dirt, protects against too rapid fouling.
- the cleaning composition is not toxic and is non-flammable and leaves the fibers and fabrics cleaned very soft to the touch.
