This application claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202210627265.9, filed on Jun. 2, 2022. Chinese patent application number 202210627265.9 is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of bonding materials, and specifically relates to a bonding composition and a method thereof.
A simple process for preparing a traditional tent surface is as follows: cutting fabrics, lapping fabrics to be stitched using needles and threads, and bonding waterproof tape to stitching positions using heat sealing at a single side. As known from the process, three steps and two machines (a sewing machine and a heat sealing machine) are involved, and space and personnel are required for operating these devices. As labor costs increase, burdens on the enterprises increase following a decline of human population in China. Therefore, the process for preparing the traditional tent changes by pushing the envelope. Manpower is reduced and labor costs are saved, which becomes an important direction of technology development in tent enterprises.
For example, binding tape materials are introduced using a heat bonding method instead the lapping and the stitching using needles, and then the waterproof tape are bonded using the heat sealing, such that the two steps are combined into one step. Not only is the number of machines is reduced, but the number of operators is also reduced, and a purpose of the technology development and cost optimization is achieved.
Chinese patent application CN1519094A discloses a method for preparing polyurethane-Teflon composite stretched film. The technical solution is as follows: dissolving thermoplastic polyurethane to prepare a polyurethane solution with a certain concentration using a solvent, and then coating on a Teflon-base tape, and then immersing the base tape in water or drying the base tape at 70-160° C. The film can be used for bonding thermal underwear, sportswear, and tents. Chinese patent application CN107603556A discloses a method for preparing hot-melt bonding for tents. The method is as follows: mixing dimer acid and benzene, boiling for 8-12 minutes by heating, then adding anhydrous magnesium sulfate to obtain anhydrous dimer acid, then adding caprolactam, isophorone diamine, sodium phytate, hexamethyldisilylamine, and concentrated sulfuric acid, and maintaining temperature and pressure at 230-240° C. for 160-200 minutes to obtain the bonding. The bonding has strong bonding strength for the tents and can prolong a service life of the tents.
As known from the aforementioned patents, the bonding composition for the tents all have organic solvents, some of which even include benzene, which is a carcinogenic substance, has poor environmental friendliness, and does not meet the requirements of an operation in a closed space.
