Q

what is a Nonwoven Fabrics

A

-Textile materials bonded
together by entangling fiber or filaments
mechanically, thermally or chemically.

-made by weaving or knitting and
do not require converting the fibers to yarn.

important component of a total garment or
industrial application.

  • Durable nonwovens are used for apparel
    interlining, carpet and upholstery fabrics
    (padding and backing), automotive headliners
    and upholstery, insulation, roofing products,

A

The material structure is formed by manipulating the fibers while in a dry state. This is the most used system worldwide.

Q

Bonded-Web Nonwovens

A

-Bonded webs can be made with any staple
fiber and are produced by forming a web of
fibers (web can be formed by carding
machine), air blowing fibers (dry-laid) or with
liquid (wet-laid).

- Fibers are bonded with an adhesive or with
heat fusion (if the fibers are thermoplastic).

Q

End Uses of Bonded-Web

Nonwovens

A

-Bonded-web nonwovens can be unidirectional,
cross laid, or random web.

  • Bonded nonwovens are used in disposable items
    such as:
  • Hospital protective gowns, disposable bed
    sheets, towels, tablecloths, cooks hats.
  • Brand names include Vileda®, Webril®,
    Hydraspun

Q

Spunlaced Nonwovens

A
  • formed by the entanglement of staple fibers, using needlelike, high pressure water jets on the web
    (wet-laid).
  • The fibers knot or curl around each other,
    causing mechanical binding. No binders are
    used.
  • End uses include medical robes, mattress pads,
    backing of quilted tablecloths and sanitary
    products.
  • Brand names include Sontara® by Dupont.

Q

Spunbonded Nonwovens

A

-Spunbonded nonwovens are made immediately
after fibers are extruded from spinnerets.
(polymer laid)

  • They consist of randomly oriented filament
    fibers laid down on a fast moving conveyer
    belt, consolidated by thermal bonding,
    mechanical entanglement, adhesive bonding or
    etched filament surfaces to interlock the
    fibers.
  • Since the fabric production is combined with
    fiber production, the process is generally more
    economical than when using staple fiber to
    make nonwoven fabrics.

Q

End uses of Spunbonded Nonwovens

A

-carpet backing, geotextiles, clothing
interliners, shoelinings, envelopes (Tyvek®), disposable
medical products.

  • This method produces the second largest amount of
    nonwovens.

Q

Melt-Blown Nonwovens

A

-made by extruding the polymer through a single-extrusion orifice into a high-velocity, heated-air stream that
reduces the filaments to microdenier size and breaks the filaments into staple fibers.

-The fibers are propelled onto a collection
surface and are held together by a
combination of fiber interlacing and thermal
bonding.

-The fiberweb strength is low and abrasion
resistance is low.

Q

Fusible Nonwovens

A
  • made from either thermoplastic fibers (thin spiderweb like fabric of thermoplastic filaments) or thermoplastic films.
  • Fusible nonwovens are used primarily as
    interling for clothing and have 2 major
    functions:
  1. Provide shape to cut parts of garments and
  2. To hold garments parts like a skirt hem or
    shirt facing together.
17
Q

Bonded Materials

A

-made from 2 fabrics that have been adhered together. (swatch#68)

  • Bonded fabrics are made from lightweight
    face fabrics that alone are unsuitable as
    apparel fabric. When bonded to a tricot
    backing, they become more stable, and heavier
    and become more suitable for an end use.
  • tricot backing is low cost and bonding is fast and economical, bonded fabrics provide the consumer with relatively low cost fabrics that have the appearance and hand of higher cost materials.
18
Q

2 methods of producing bonded fabrics

A
  1. Wet–adhesive process: adhesives are applied
    to the fabric and the fabric is passed between
    hot rollers to activate and set the adhesive.
    (fig. 7.4 pg. 165).
  2. Foam-flame bonding: uses an extremely thin
    layer of polyurethane foam that is heated to
    make it tacky and adhesive. The tacky foam is
    then sandwiched between the face and back
    fabric. The foam is heated over gas jets. The
    foam is melted and practically disappears, a
    thin layer of about 1/100 inch remains
    between the face and back and gives body to
    the cloth.
19
Q

Foam-Laminated Fabrics

A
  • Similar to foam-flame bonded materials,
    except a thicker layer of foam is used. The
    foam remains as a laminate when the process
    is completed. Foam laminate size ranges from
    1/8 to 3/16 inch.

-primarily used for clothing insulation. They are lightweight and their cellular structure entraps dead air

  • End Uses for foam-laminates include winter
    coats and sportswear.
20
Q

FELT

A
  • Felt is an excellent shock-absorbing and
    sound-absorbing material.
  • It has poor drapability, low tensile strength,
    does not return to shape if stretched and a
    propensity to form holes and tears that cannot
    be mended.
  • Felt should not really be considered a
    nonwoven fabric as it is the interlocking of the
    fiber surface serrations that holds the fibers
    together, not adhesive, fusion or mechanical
    binding.
21
Q

Mali Fabrics

A
  • Mali (also known as stitch bonding) is a
    technique for producing and reinforcing other
    fabrics.
  • Mali fabrics are constructed by a system in
    which needles and threads are used to sew or
    stitch yarns or fibers together.
  • Mali fabrics are used mostly in industrial
    fabrics, carpets and upholstery.
22
Q

Lace Fabrics

A
  • 2 other fabrics marketed as lace but not made
    on lace- making machine:
  • Raschel lace: a knitted lace made on a Raschel
    knitting machine. Most widely used lace
    material, can be inexpensive or high price
    couture material.
  • Schiffli lace: made by the Schiffli machine
    and uses an embroidery technique.
23
Q

Embroidery

A
  • The designs are produced with needles and
    thread, using one or many colours to produce
    raised designs on the fabric.
  • Most machine-made embroidery sold in the
    U.S. is made on the Schiffli machine and the
    embroidery is called Schiffli embroidery.
24
Q

Schiffli Embroidery

A 
- Schiffli embroidery is often done on
lightweight fabrics (batiste and lawn) for
delicate embroidery. It can also embroider
heavier fabrics.
  • When Schiffli embroidery is done on net
    fabrics, the fabric is called Schiffli lace.
25
Q

Net Fabrics

A

-Nets are created by looping and knotting a
continuous strand of yarn into an open mesh.

  • Most netted fabrics are made with either a
    square or diamond-shaped mesh. The
    decoration of the net can be increased by
    embroidering designs on the open mesh.
  • Machine-made nets are manufactured on a
    bobbinet lace machine. Raschel knitting
    machines also produce fabrics similar in
    appearance but with different structures.
26
Q

Tufted Fabrics

A
  • Tufted fabrics are a type of pile fabric but
    they are not woven or knitted.
  • Tufting is the process of punching a first
    component, loops of yarn, through a second
    component, a woven or nonwoven backing
    material.
  • Hand tufting is used in “hooking” rugs.
