MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202323080014 A) filed by Khushboo Abhishek Mandawewala; and Abhishek Rajesh Mandawewala, Maharashtra, on Nov. 24, 2023, for 'bulked continuous side-by-side bi-component filament yarn, method for making, and floor covering material made therefrom.'
Inventor(s) include Khushboo Abhishek Mandawewala; and Abhishek Rajesh Mandawewala.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosure provides a twisted and heat-set Bulked Continuous side-by-side bi-5 component Filament (BCF) yarn including a plurality of side-by-side bi-component filaments, each includes first and second polymer components. The first polymer component forms a first side of the side-by-side bi-component filaments, and includes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) in at least 25 and up to 75 volume percent of the filament in the BCF yarn. Further, the second polymer component forms a second side of the side-by-side bi-component filaments, and 10 includes one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polylactic acid (PLA) in at most 75 and down to 25 volume percent of the filament in the BCF yarn. The twisted and heat-set BCF yarn is obtained by a single-step continuous process, and subsequently followed by steps of twisting and/or cabling and heat-setting. The twisted and heat-set BCF yarn as obtained exhibits an elongation to break in a range of 40% to 65%, and floor covering manufactured from the yarn 15 exhibits a Hexapod rating after 12000 cycles of more than 2."
