Abstract (en)

A thermally insulating nonwoven bulky product is made up of substantially continuous single filaments of between 0.01 to 2 deniers stabilized in the product by a surface binder on the filaments. The bulky product may be made from multi-filament polyester (2) direct from the spinneret by passing it in a high speed air current through a nozzle (3) and against a surface (4) where it is broken into single filaments (8) which pass through a mist of binder emulsion ejected from a spraying nozzle (5) and so are deposited on a support conveyor (6). The speed of the conveyor (6) is adjusted so that the filaments settle in folds giving a pile of substantial thickness which is then dried and heat set under heated elements (7). The product, which may well have a bulkiness between 50 and 550 ml/g, can be used for filling articles such as duvets, sleeping bags, anoraks, and the like, and has a thermal insulation comparable to that of down.
