three basic formulations, non-woven fabrics, powders, and microcapsules, of local anesthetic agents, antiseptics, and antibiotics were prepared with poly-l(-)lactide as the polymer. these formulations were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, edax (energy dispersive analysis of x-rays), in vitro drug release rate, in vivo effica..

World Markets for nonwovens and other non-spun products - forecasts to 2005

This journal will provide the reader with comprehensive data on the global nonwovens and other non-spun products industry by country and by region. It forecasts to the year 2005 on nonwovens production and demand by produce category for the world's main p

Post-treatment of laminated nonwoven cellulosic fibre webs

A method for post-treating a laminated precursor nonwoven web, which includes layers of thermoplastic man-made fibres and at least one layer of cellulose-based staple natural fibres is described in this article. The web is consolidated by heating and drawing in the machine direction which results in: reduced pore size; enhanced breathabil..

Fehrer: K12 high-loft aerodynamic web forming

Dr Ernst Fehrer AG, who invented aerodynamic web forming in the late sixties, now offer the K12 high-loft web former. Following a review of the development of the design of aerodynamic web formers since their first introduction, the operation and features of the K12 are described. General applications for the machine include upholstery, b..

Method for controlling fibre feed to produce uniform webs

This article describe a new system of feeding fibre to card which has been invented by Garnett Control. Normally a card removes fibre from a hopper or chute in which the level of fibre is held as a constant height, controlled by bale opening equipment. Fi

Laminated, nonwoven fabric and process for producing the same

A laminated, multilayer, nonwoven fabric comprises: a spunbonded nonwoven fabric comprising long fibres containing high-and low-melting-point resin components; and a nonwoven fabric of melt-blown, ultrafine, mixed fibres comprising high-and low-melting-point ultrafine fibres. The two layers are joined together by heat-melt adhesion of the..

Nonwoven fabric

A nonwoven fabric is produced by forming a first web of staple fibres and fluid-entangling it on a first support having large pores to obtain an intermediate fabric having large fibre bundles that intersect. The intermediate fabric is then fluid-entangled on a support having small pores to form small fibre bundles which are coplanar. IPC ..

Installation for the production of nonwoven webs, the cohesion of which is obtained by the action of fluid jets

A nonwoven web of material is passed over a series of perforated rolls in a contact zone, and a jet of pressurized water is impinged against the web as it passes through the contact zone. IPC D04H.

New cotton products

The Textiles and Nonwovens Development Center (TANDEC) and Cotton Incorporated have developed and patented cotton faced nonwovens. The cotton is on one or both sides of a core structure in which the cotton varies from 41-75％. The fabrics exhibit minimal linting characteristics and would be suitable as medical isolation gowns, head cover ..

Increased airlaid in Europe

Following the installation of two new lines in Europe, global airlaid pulp based nonwovens production has increased from an estimated 210 000 to 230 000 tonnes a year. This is due to Canadian based company Concert Industries installing a line in Germany and Ireland. These were both installed in order to ensure better service to its Europe..
