Abstract (en)

Non-woven sheet of continuous interconnected filaments is produced from bi-constituted filaments of less than 4 dtex comprising two interconnected elemental filament components of different polymers. Differential shrinkage is imparted to the filaments to produce a curl frequency of 3-30 curls per cm., 50-400 percent filament bunching and formation of a non-woven sheet weighing 10-400 grams per metre. The sheet is subjected to water jets at a pressure of 50-300 X 10 Pa to interface and entangle the curled filaments and separate the interconnected elemental filament components from each other. The resulting non-woven sheet is specifically claimed. <IMAGE>

Abstract (fr)

La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'une nappe de non-tissé constituée de filaments continus liés entre eux, ainsi qu'une nappe ainsi obtenue. Procédé caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à réaliser une nappe de non-tissé à partir de filaments biconstitués présentant une frisure, puis à soumettre ladite nappe à des jets de fluide sous haute pression, dont l'action mécanique entraîne un enchevêtrement et un entrelacement des filaments frisés constituant ladite nappe. <IMAGE>
