Dry laid (Carding)
o Web can be
o Parallel-laid,
o Most of the fibres are laid in the direction of the web
travel
o Random-laid
o Parallel-laid carded webs result in
o Good tensile strength,
o Low elongation and
o Low tear strength
in the machine direction and the reverse in the cross
direction.

Wet laid
o By EDANA
o more than 50% by mass of its fibrous
content is made up of fibres (excluding
chemically-digested vegetable fibres) with a
length to diameter ratio greater than 300.

Spunmelt (Spunlaid/spunbonded)

Spunmelt (Meltblown)
o Low viscosity polymers are extruded into a
high velocity airstream on leaving the
spinneret.
o This scatters the melt polymer, solidifies it
and breaks it up into a fibrous web.

Thermal Bonding
o Powder Bonding
o Thermoplastic powders may be used as an
alternative to thermoplastic fibres for
bonding
o in all the methods of thermal bonding except
for point bonding. Why ???
o Fabrics are soft and flexible
o Relatively low strength.
