Nonwoven resin bonded

In nonwoven geotextiles, the fibers are much thinner but far more numerous. The various types are needle-punched, resin-bond, and melt-bond. All contain a labyrinth of randomly oriented fibers that cross one another so that there is no direct line of flow. The fabric must have enough open space to allow liquid to pass through, while simultaneously retaining any upstream movement of particles. The needle-punched nonwoven type is very commonly used as a filter material.

Nonwoven Manufacturing. Cotton staple is readily processed to form carded, air laid, or carded/crossed-lapped webs that can be bonded by various techniques to form useful nonwoven materials, eg, needlepunched, spimlaced (hydroentangled), and stitch-bonded nonwovens, and resin-bonded and thermal-bonded carded fabrics (68). Many times a combination of these processes is used to produce hybrid structures and other products. Cotton s share of the nonwovens market in 2002 is 7.8% globally and 2.8% in North America (69). In 2000-2001, 32-36 million kg (70-80 million lb) of cotton was used in North America to... 

Chemical-binder bonding is used less frequently than thermal bonding in the production of spunbonded fabrics, and in a shift over the past decade the same is also true for staple flber nonwovens. Resin binders are occasionally used with spunbonded webs to achieve special characteristics that are unattainable thermally (38). In a typical case, acrylic resin(s) are applied to saturate the web, excess resin is removed by nip rolls, and the wet web is passed through a drying oven to remove excess water and cure the resin which tends to concentrate at flber-flber junctions. By curing the resin, a thermoset binder conveys high thermal dimensional stability to the web for applications such as rooflng. 

The ADL is very important to provide a sense of dryness to the skin, providing additional separation between the wet pad and the skin. ADLs should be used whenever the mix of SAP in the absorbent core exceeds about 15% by weight or when the liquid penetration time requires a boost in order to avoid diaper leakage due to liquid accumulation inside the diaper. ADLs are made either of through air bond nonwovens, curly fibres such as in P G s pampers and some Ontex diapers, or some kind of highloft nonwoven. An aperture film, made of perforated plastic film, has also been used successfully in some markets. Lower priced diapers sometimes use resin-bonded nonwovens, but they do not work as well. 

Polyimide Fiber n A manufactured fiber formed from P the condensation polymer of an aromatic dianhydride and an aromatic diisocyanate. The fiber is produced by dry spinning. It is a high-shrinkage fiber used in the formation of mechanically stable nonwoven fabrics. These fabrics are made without binders or resins bonding apparently results from the local temperature and pressure that develop during shrinkage. 

This refers to many different fabricated RP products such as high or contact/low pressure laminates. It usually identifies flat or curved panels using high pressure rather than contact or low pressure. It is a product made by bonding together two or more layers of laminate materials. The usual resins are thermoset such as epoxies, phenolics, melamines, and TS polyesters. A modification of this process uses TPs. The type of materials can be endless depending on market requirements. Included are one or more combinations of different woven and/or nonwoven fabrics, aluminum, steel, paper, plastic film, etc. 

AIRFLEX EVCL emulsions are a series of versatile anionic resin latices designed for nonwoven bonding, coating, adhesive and saturant applications. These terpolymer resins are predominantly vinyl chloride and ethylene coreacted with a third monomer that imparts either amide or carboxyl groups to the saturated oarbon-to-carbon polymer backbone. 

Coating is a basic and important form of finishing for nonwoven bonded fabrics. The way in which the coating is carried out depends on the substrate, the machinery available, the substance that is to be applied, and also the effect desired. Crushed foam coatings can modify the porosity of filter fabrics from zero upwards, depending on the add-on of resin and the severity of cmshing. Foam collapsed into the fabric will present the least resistance and is more suitable for high airflow requirements. 

Chemical bonding. A binder such as glue, rubber, casein, latex, cellulose derivative, or a synthetic resin is used for bonding the filaments or short fibres together and these materials are known as chemically or adhesive bonded nonwoven geotextiles. 

There is a German supplier to the automotive industry where production waste of moulded parts of cotton and phenol resin is re-used. The waste is cut and used as a centric ply in between two layers of nonwoven. The result is a mat structure which, directly after it is achieved, is thermally bonded (Fig. 9.3). 

Due to their more rigid, paper-like structure, nonwovens buckle into a complex of sharp, uniaxial bends rather than smooth 3D folds. Attempts have long been made to press-form nonwoven sheets, which have been bonded with a partially cured resin, into a required shape (Hearle, 1960). An ashtray is typically used in experiments. However, rupture or wrinkling seemed an unsolvable problem. More recently, a successful process for making deep moulded shapes has been developed at North Carolina State University (Grissett and Pourdeyhimi, 2009). The nonwoven fabric is placed between the two surfaces of a mould, Figure 1.13(a), and then pressed.
