Answer 2

Non woven fabricsprovide specific functions such as absorbency, resilience, stretch, softness, strength, flame redundancy, wash ability, cushioning, filtering, bacterial barrier and sterility. In combination with other materials they provide a spectrum of products with diverse properties, and are used alone or as components of apparel, home furnishings, health care, engineering, industrial and consumer goods.

Answer 3

Nonwoven fabrics provide specific functions such as absorbency, liquid repellency, resilience, stretch, softness, strength, flame retardancy, washability, cushioning, filtering, bacterial barriers and sterility.

The particular set of properties that a non-woven fabric may have is dependent upon the combination of factors in its production. The range of characteristics is wide.

The appearance of non-woven fabrics may be paper like, felt like, or similar to that of woven fabrics.

1. They may have a soft, resilient hand, or they may be hard, stiff, or broadly with little pliability.
2. They may be as thin as thin as tissue paper or many times thicker.
3. They also may be translucent or opaque.
4. Their porosity may range from low tear and burst strength to very high tensile strength.
5. They may be fabricated by gluing, heat bonding, or sewing.
6. The drapability of this type of fabrics varies from good to none at all.
7. Some fabrics have excellent launderability; others have none. Some may be dry-cleaned.
