A guide to fibers for nonwovens.A GUIDE TO FIBERS FOR NONWOVENS Nonwoven textiles are those which are neither woven nor knit, for example felt. General use hyphenates the word, but industrial use spells it as one word. Non-wovens are typically not strong (unless reinforced by a backing or densified). a special annual section detailing the fibers available to nonwovens roll goods manufacturers from U.S., European European emanating from or pertaining to Europe.

There are also many speakers of Japanese in the Ryukyu Islands, Korea, Taiwan, parts of the United States, and suppliers Compiled By The Nonwovens Industry Staff This Fourth Annual Guide To Fibers For Nonwovens is the only comprehensive listing of fibers from most of the major suppliers to the nonwovens industry. It represents an ambitious attempt by Nonwovens Industry to put all in one place the information needed by our readers, the users of these fibers. It deals exclusively with our industry; general purpose fibers not designed for the manufacture of nonwovens are not included. There are some significant changes in this year's Guide from the 1988 issue. A number of companies--among them Hoechst Hoechst may refer to:
A trademark used for a screw with a head having two intersecting perpendicular slots and for a screwdriver with a tip shaped to fit into these slots. Fibers, Eastman Chemical and DuPont--have either revised their product lines or expanded their nonwovens fiber offerings. That is reflected for the first time ever on the following pages. All fibers are listed by company. The fiber type, trade name, denier de·ni·er 1 n.

When stresses less than the tensile strength are removed, a material completely or partially returns to its (grams per denier) are listed in most cases. Some of the specialty A contract under seal.

The properties of and end uses for the products, as explained by the fiber companies, are supplied as well. In addition, the addresses and phone numbers are included; the individual companies should be contacted for further information on any of the fibers listed.
