Fibers composed of a vinyl alcohol unit-containing polymer, or composite fibers, yarns or fiber products composed of the phase of the vinyl alcohol unit-containing polymer and the other fiber-forming polymer phase are acetalized with at least one of aldehyde compounds represented by the formulas OHC-CH2-C(R1)(R2)-COOB and, OHC-C(R3)(R4)-COOB wherein B is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group R1, R2, R3 and R4, independently from each other, denote a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, and at least one of R1 and R2 and at least one of R3 and R4 are alkyl groups and a carboxyl group is then converted into a salt to form fibers, yarns or fiber products having high moisture absorption and high water …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed August 18, 1992 and granted June 25, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 18, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 18, 2014.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
