Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1336682A2] Surprisingly it has been found that pillings on nonwoven fabrics can be decreased by physical treatment combined with heat, e.g. singeing without impairing the good properties of the nonwoven, where the nonwoven comprises optionally split microfibers and/or microfilaments of synthetic polymer containing at least one polyester-, polyamid- and polyurethane component. Surprisingly it has been found that pillings on nonwoven fabrics can be decreased by physical treatment combined with heat, e.g. singeing, for example at 60-80 meter/minute, without impairing the good properties of the nonwoven, e.g. moisture permeation properties, where the nonwoven comprises optionally split microfibers and/or microfilaments of synthetic polymer containing at least one polyester-, polyamid- and polyurethane component.
