Opis

Three-and-a-third million tons of non-woven fabrics were produced in the USA in 2000, which means a turnover of US$14.6 billion. For some specific areas of applications, such as medicine and hygienic devices, non-woven fabrics have become the most important fabrics."

GUIDELINES AND TEST PROCEDURES OF RAW MATERIALS FOR NONWOVENS AND NONWOVENS

Blurb

From the utilization of textile waste to the high–tech product–this is how modern nonwovens can best described.

Web formation and web bonding processes have recently being enhanced. Nowadays, fibres, granulates, binder and finishig agents are used. This development entails a wider range of applications in the fields of hygiene, medicine, the garment–producing and building industries, interior design as well as further technical uses.

This book provides comprehensive information about nonwovens, from the raw material fibres via the manufacturing processes to finishing and to the ready–made product. Nonwoven characteristics and the fields of application are discussed in detail as well as the processes available to test the raw materials, the intermediate and the final products.

This book will be the standard reference on nonwovens in the years to come!
