Nonwoven materials are made in a different way from ordinary woven or knitted fabrics. Instead of turning fibers into yarns and then building a fabric from those yarns, nonwoven production can arrange loose fibers into a web and then hold that web together. The fiber web is one of the most important stages in this ... Read More "How Is Fiber Web Formed in Nonwoven Production" »
Road construction involves more than placing asphalt or paving materials over the ground. Beneath the finished surface, several layers need to work together. Soil, aggregate, drainage materials and pavement materials may all have different characteristics, and problems can occur when these layers mix or move during use. This is one reason geotextile is often considered ... Read More "Why Is Geotextile Used in Road Construction" »
Water is one of the everyday problems that building materials need to deal with. Rain can reach roofs and walls, moisture can move through foundations, and water may collect around parts of a building that are difficult to keep dry. A waterproof membrane is used to create a protective layer between the building and these ... Read More "Why Do Building Waterproof Membranes Use Technical Textiles" »
Oil resistant textiles are used in workplaces where fabrics may come into contact with oils, lubricants, fuels, greasy liquids or similar substances. They are often considered when ordinary textile materials would become heavily stained, wet through, difficult to clean or less suitable for repeated industrial use. The need for oil resistance can appear in many ... Read More "Where Are Oil Resistant Textiles Used at Work" »
Aramid fibers are often associated with protective clothing, but their use goes beyond a single type of garment. They can be found in fabrics, gloves, sleeves, hoods, covers and other textile products where resistance to heat, flame or demanding working conditions matters. The reason for using aramid fiber is usually connected to the job a ... Read More "Where Are Aramid Fibers Commonly Used in Protective Textiles" »
