Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 global technology and specialty materials company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, United States.
The formation of a nonwoven by extruding molten polymer through a die then attenuating and breaking the resulting filaments with hot, high-velocity air or steam. This results in short fiber lengths. The short fibers are then collected on a moving screen where they bond during cooling.
Industry:Textiles
The weight in grams of a thermoplastic material that can be forced through a standard orifice within a specified time.
Industry:Textiles
A soft, double or compound fancy-woven fabric with a quilted appearance. Heavier types are used as draperies and upholsteries. Crepe matelassé is used for dresses, wraps, and other apparel. Matelassé is usually woven on a Jacquard loom.
Industry:Textiles
A mathematical representation of material flow through a reaction system. The input material is accounted for throughout its various transformations.
Industry:Textiles
1. A manufactured fiber that is essentially a physical combination or mixture of two or more chemically distinct constituents or components combined at or prior to the time of extrusion (i.e., produced in fiber form), which components if separately extruded would each fall within different definitions of textile fiber. (FTC definition). Matrix fibril fibers have the fibril constituent randomly arranged across the cross section of the matrix. When the fibril component is in high concentration it may actually form a fibrillar network in the matrix. 2. In aerospace textiles, a thermoplastic fiber used with reinforcing fiber to form a composite after consolidation with heat and pressure. 3. In nonwovens manufacture, fibers that are blended with low-melt fibers to form a thermally bonded fabric.
Industry:Textiles
Fiber in the bale that is compressed and entangled in a manner indicating that the fiber was either too wet at the baling operation or that excessive baling pressure was used.
Industry:Textiles
A defect that occurs in converter top. It consists of a group of unopened, almost coterminous fibers with the crimp in register.
Industry:Textiles
