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)
