The course aims to learn about raw materials from which nonwoven fabrics are made, nonwoven fabric manufacturing processes, finishing processes and the quality parameters of nonwoven.

The following will be learned: 

Fibres for the nonwoven fabric production. 

Fibre preparation. 

Web making processes: 

- Dry-law process (mechanical, aerodynamic), 

- Wet lay (hydrodynamic). 

- Making nonwovens by extrusion. 

Web bonding by needle-punching, chemical methods and thermal processes. 

Characteristics and application of nonwovens. 

Nonwoven quality parameters.
