Batt
A collection of fibers assembled into a
sheet suitable for needle punching bonding
by some method. The term is synonymous
with web.
Binder
An adhesive substance used to bind a web of
fibers together or bond one web to another
Bonding
The process of combining a fibrous web into
a nonwoven fabric by means of resins
(e.g.adhesives or solvent) or physical (e.g.
mechanical entanglement or thermal
adherence)
Bond strength
Amount of force needed to separate layers in
a laminated structure or to break the fiber-to
fiber bonds in a nonwoven.
Carded nonwoven
A nonwoven produced from a carded web
that has been bonded by one or more
technologies to provide fabric integrity
Disposables
A general classification of end-markets
where the product made from the
nonwoven has a relatively short life
Dof
The term used for removing a finished
fabric from the machine:
Felt (Nonwoven definition)
A sheet of matted fibers, most often wool or fur, bonded
together by needlepunch and/or chemical processes and
the application of moisture, heat and pressure
Flashspinning
A modified spunlaid technology in which a
polymer/solvent solution is extruded under conditions
that rapid solvent evaporation at the spinneret occurs.
The individual filaments are disrupted into a highly
fibrillar form and are collected on a moving screen to
form a web.
Laminate
A layered material containing two or
more sheets bonded together with an
adhesive, foam or thermoplastic resin
Reworked fibers
Fibers that are sourced from several
areas and recycled into needlepunched
materials often destined for padding or
insulation. This material is often referred
to as shoddy.
