Abstract:
The present invention provides a sound-absorbing material with excellent sound-absorbing performance and a method for manufacturing thereof. More particularly, it relates to a sound-absorbing material, which can improve sound absorption coefficient and transmission loss by forming large surface area and air layer, so as to induce viscosity loss of incident sound energy, may make light-weight design possible because it can express excellent sound-absorbing performance even using reduced amount of fiber, and can improve sound-absorbing performance by using binder fiber having rebound resilience, so as to maintain enough strength between fiber and also to maximize viscosity loss of sound energy transmitted to fiber structure; and a method for manufacturing thereof.

The filter media for an air filter according to the present invention is composed of wet-laid nonwoven fabric containing a glass fiber having an average fiber diameter of less than 1 µm, and a binder fiber, and is characterized in that the wet-laid nonwoven fabric contains a fluorine resin and a surfactant, and does not contain a resin binder or contains a binder resin in an amount of 50% by mass or less based on the fluorine resin.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a textured element may include (a) collecting a plurality of filaments upon a textured surface to form a non-woven textile and (b) separating the non-woven textile from the textured surface. Another method of manufacturing a textured element may include depositing a plurality of thermoplastic polymer filaments upon a first surface of a polymer layer to (a) form a non-woven textile and (b) bond the filaments to the polymer layer. A textured surface may then be separated from a second surface of the polymer layer, the second surface being opposite the first surface, and the second surface having a texture from the textured surface.

The present invention relates to a method of making mounting mats for use in pollution control device. The method comprises the steps of: (i) supplying inorganic fibers through an inlet of a forming box having an open bottom positioned over a forming wire to form a mat of fibers on the forming wire, the forming box having a plurality of fiber separating rollers provided in at least one row in the housing between the inlet and housing bottom for breaking apart clumps of fibers and an endless belt screen; (ii) capturing clumps of fibers on a lower run of the endless belt beneath fiber separating rollers and above the forming wire; (iii) conveying captured clumps of fibers on the endless belt above fiber separating rollers to enable captured clumps to release from the belt and to contact and be broken apart by the rollers; (iv) transporting the mat of fibers out of the forming box by the forming wire; and (v) compressing the mat of fibers and restraining the mat of fibers in its compressed state thereby obtaining a mounting mat having a desired thickness suitable for mounting a pollution control element in the housing of a catalytic converter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a support in non-woven textile reinforced with threads comprising at least two webs of nonwoven spunbond and a plurality of reinforcement threads which are positioned between the two webs of nonwoven with an overall orientation parallel to a longitudinal direction X. The webs and the threads are solidarized to each other by needling, by means of resining through the application of chemical bonding agents and by heat bonding with application of heat bonding fibres. According to the invention, the reinforcement threads are associated with the webs and are subjected to solidarization together with said webs without applying to the threads and to the webs a tension along said longitudinal direction. This way during the assembly and solidarization steps with the webs, the reinforcement threads are free to move and to misalign locally in relation to the longitudinal direction. The support has the reinforcement threads blocked in the final position assumed in relation to said webs by chemical bonding agents and/or by the heat bonding fibres.
Abstract:
A nonwoven fabric alternately formed on its upper surface with crests and troughs extending in parallel to one another in one direction to prevent bodily fluids from staying in the crests. Short fibers 11 of thermoplastic synthetic resin are fusion bonded to one another to form a nonwoven fabric 1. The nonwoven fabric 1 is formed on its upper surface 2 with crests 6 and troughs 7 extending in parallel to one another. The crests 6 include first crests 6a having a uniform height dimension from a lower surface 3 of the nonwoven fabric 1 and second crests 6b having a uniform height dimension from a lower surface 3 of the nonwoven fabric 1 which is smaller than the height dimension of the first crests 6a. Density of the nonwoven fabric 1 gradually increases in the order of the first crests 6a, the second crests 6b and the troughs 7. The first crests 6a are formed so that the density of the first crests 6a remains lower than the density of the second crests 6b even when the first crests 6a are compressed toward the lower surface 3 until the first crests 6a becomes flush with the level of the second crests 6b.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a press felt for use in the press section of a paper machine. Said felt comprises a nonwoven layer lying on one of its surfaces, the surface of said layer being connected and fixed to the felt by a thermoplastic binding material. According to the invention, the surface of the nonwoven layer is smoothed by the application of pressure from a smooth surface during the cooling of said layer surface from a temperature in excess of the melting temperature of the thermoplastic binding material to a temperature below the melting temperature. To manufacture the press felt, an untreated press felt, which contains the nonwoven layer and the thermoplastic binding agent is first produced, the thermoplastic binding agent being distributed in the nonwoven layer in the form of thermoplastic adhesive fibres and/or a thermoplastic adhesive component of bicomponent fibres. The desired press felt is produced from the untreated press felt by means of the aformentioned temperature and pressure treatment using a smooth surface, thus enabling the press felt to be simultaneously thermofixed.
