Nonwoven Bonding Fundamentals

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
