Nonwoven Bonding Fundamentals

October 3 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Nonwoven Bonding Fundamentals Short Course will provide a detailed overview of the major fabric bonding processes used to make nonwovens. The course will cover success factors for calendering, hydroentangling, and needle-punching, including troubleshooting techniques and guidance for process improvement.

If you attend this course, you will learn:

  • How nonwoven bonds are formed and how strength is achieved
  • The importance of line speed and temperature control in determining the effectiveness of thermal bonding systems
  • The impact of jet pressure, jet strip design, and energy transfer to the nonwoven material in determining the desired bonding results in hydroentangling
  • The nuances of needle geometry, needle board design and process parameters in determining the results of needle-punch bonding processes
  • The evolution of nonwoven bonding technology and what the future holds

Expert Instructors: 

  • Behnam Pourdeyhimi, Ph.D., Executive Director, The Nonwovens Institute (NWI)
  • Benoit Maze, Ph.D., Director of Education and Administration, The Nonwovens Institute (NWI)
