Nonwovens:
- The sheet or web structure fibres bonded together by entangling filaments (and by perforating films) mechanically, thermally or chemically are known as non-woven fibres. They are flat,porous sheets made directly from separate fibers or from molten plastic or plastic film.
- Due to their properties such as stretchability, flame resistance, washability, strength, absorbency, liquid repellence, resilience, softness, cushioning, filtering, bacterial barrier and sterility the non-woven are widely used in several industries. Non-woven textiles are produced with high-speed and low-cost processes as compared to woven and knitting technology.
- The non-wovens can be classified based on their production, type of raw materials, end use of materials and property wise.
- Globally, Asia is the major consumer of nonwovens in the world and in the last ten years it has overtaken Europe and North America.
Production Process:
One way to categories nonwovens is by their methods of manufacture. Nonwovens can be divided into three distinctive groups: those produced by dry-laid methods; wet-laid methods; or spun melt processes.
Web formation
Basic methods used to form a web are:
- Dry laid
- Spun melt
- Wet laid
Other techniques
