Non-woven fabric drape, elasticity, strength and elongation, the opacity and played ball and other requirements of the fire fighter apparel gap, and lack a certain sense of art in appearance, and thus applied to the durability of the garment field quite difficulty. However, non-woven casual side and slipping directly selvage involved in the design, do not need ironing and sewing clothing hemmer characteristics that distinguish it from machine woven and knitted fabrics. It is optimistic about the advantages of simple non-woven garment sewing process, many researchers and businesses the courage to face the risk of product development. The focus of research in recent years focused on how to improve the performance of the non-woven fabric drape, abrasion resistance, flexibility and elastic recovery capability, make it suitable for the requirements of the durability of the garment fabric.
Novel spunbonded elastic nonwoven fabric, the fibers as sheath-core type bicomponent fiber, the core layer is an elastomer, cortex is a good extension of the polymer, by adjusting the different proportions of the two components of the core and sheath , so that the obtained spunbonded nonwoven fabric having a very good flexibility, low elastic modulus and high strength and dimensional stability, which provides the possibility of spunbonded nonwoven fabrics do durability clothing.
Spunlace nonwoven fabric has a soft, bulkiness, high moisture absorption, fiber raw materials used, is the most suitable for the clothing of a non-woven Protective Fabric, therefore, its durable clothing up. U.S. Patent reported spunlace nonwoven a durable, have good abrasion resistance and drape, the less pilling, color fastness, and when the cross machine direction elongation of 50%, the recovery rate can reach 90 %, and at least after 25 washes. The non-woven fabric has good flexibility, suitable for making day-to-day wear shirt and coat, both personal comfort, good mechanical strength and aesthetics in one, is the ideal clothing garment material.
