Nonwoven Fabrics

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 finishing 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!Von der Verwertung von Textilresten zum High-Tech Produkt: So läßt sich die Entwicklung der modernen Vliesstoffe beschreiben.
Die ständige Weiterentwicklung der Vliesbildungs- und Verfestigungsverfahren sowie der Einsatz neuer Fasern, Granulate, Binde- und Ausrüstungsmittel hat den Vliesstoffen zahlreiche neue Anwendungsgebiete in den Bereichen Hygiene, Medizin, Bekleidung, Bau, Interieur sowie in der Technik erschlossen.
Dieses Buch bietet umfassende Informationen über Vliesstoffe, von den Fasern über die verschiedenen Verarbeitungsverfahren bis hin zu Ausrüstung und Konfektionierung. Die Eigenschaften der Vliesstoffe und ihre Verwendung werden ebenso berücksichtigt wie die Verfahren zur Prüfung der Rohstoffe, der Zwischen- und Endprodukte.

GUIDELINES AND TEST PROCEDURES OF RAW MATERIALS FOR NONWOVENS AND NONWOVENS "This book is well suited as a reference for anyone working in the this industry." (Materials and Manufacturing Processes, May 2006) "Sowohl junge als auch erfahrene Entwickler, Ingenieure und Anwendungstechniker können sich mit diesem Buch auf ihre vielfältigen Aufgaben vorbereiten. Von den Rohstoffen für Vlieserzeugung über Herstellungsverfahren für Vliesstoffe bis hin zu deren Anwendungen werden alle relevanten Themen behandelt. Die Qualität der Autoren und deren Beiträge, die klare Gliederung, ausführliche Sachregister und die genauen Literaturangaben machen es zu einem Buch, das sehr praxisnah verwendet werden kann."
