Common fiber raw materials
Fiber is the most basic raw material for non-woven materials. Since non-woven materials are different from traditional textiles, which are formed by the arrangement and combination of yarns, they are fiber aggregates directly composed of fiber raw materials. have a more direct impact. The fiber raw materials used by non-woven technology are very wide. To produce non-woven products with reasonable performance and price ratio, it is necessary to first understand the role of fibers in non-woven materials, master the basic properties of fibers, and determine the basic properties of fibers according to non-woven processing technology and post-processing technology. and equipment to properly select fiber raw materials. Common fiber raw materials are shown in the figure below. The properties of nonwovens are related to many factors, the most important of which are the properties of the fibers. The influence of fibers on the properties of non-woven materials is mainly reflected in two aspects, on the one hand, the material properties directly expressed by fibers through different non-woven structures; on the other hand, the processing adaptability of fibers in non-woven processing. Also affects the final properties of the nonwoven. 1. The effect of fiber appearance on the properties of nonwovens The apparent properties of fibers mainly include length, linear density, crimp, cross-sectional shape and surface friction properties, etc. Their effects on the properties of non-woven materials are discussed as follows: 1. Fiber length and length distribution Long fiber length is beneficial to improve the strength of non-woven materials, which is mainly due to the increase of cohesion between fibers, the increase of entanglement points, the enhancement of entanglement effect, and the improvement of the utilization degree of fiber strength. In the production of bonding method, the fiber length is long, which is also manifested as increased bond points, enhanced adhesion, and increased strength of nonwovens. 2. Fiber linear density The fiber linear density is small, the obtained non-woven material has high bulk density, high strength and soft hand feeling. Under the condition of the same areal density of non-woven materials, the smaller the fiber linear density, the more fibers, and the contact point and contact area between fibers increase, which increases the bonding area between fibers or increases the bonding area between fibers. Slip resistance, thereby increasing the strength of the nonwoven. However, too fine fibers will cause difficulties in opening, carding and web formation. The fiber linear density generally used in non-woven materials is 1.2~33dtex. Generally, crude fibers are mostly used in carpets and pads, and the main consideration is to improve the elasticity of non-woven materials. For some filter materials, fiber blending or gradient distribution with various linear density specifications from fine to coarse i...
