Nonwoven Structure
Nonwoven structures combine natural protein fibers with synthetic polymers to create a reinforced fabric layer. A wool polyamide web is formed by bonding these two fiber types together through mechanical or thermal means. This combination utilizes the insulation of the natural fiber and the durability of the synthetic component.
Material Composition
Blending the fibers usually involves a dry laid process where the materials are carded into a uniform sheet. Polyamide acts as a binder or a strengthening agent that prevents the wool from shedding or losing its shape while simultaneously increasing the abrasion resistance of the finished surface. A wool polyamide web is formed by bonding these two fiber types through mechanical or thermal means.
This material provides for applications requiring high insulation and durability.
Bonding Method
Needle punching or thermal bonding locks the fibers in place to create a stable textile. The choice of method affects the loft and the air permeability of the final product. Heavy duty webs are often used for industrial filtration or automotive interiors where vibration dampening is necessary.
Performance Property
Resilience of the structure allows it to withstand repeated compression without permanent deformation. This blend also benefits from the natural moisture management of the animal fiber. Verification of the blend ratio ensures that the material meets the flame retardancy and strength specifications of the contract.
