In this paper, we investigate the effect of thermal calendering temperature, binder fiber type, and binder fiber component (blend ratio) on the tensile strength of resulting thermal point- bonded nonwovens. The experimental results are statistically analyzed using the general linear models procedure in JMP 5.0 to determine the significance of the effects of the variables on fabric strength. Based on the interactions of binder fiber composition and bonding temperature, empirical models are developed to predict the breaking loads of webs.
