This course provides an in depth understanding of how the most important nonwoven fabric properties are achieved by processing and how they are measured. Properties such as tensile, basis weight, compressibility, softness, fiber orientation distribution and diameter, moisture and vapor transmission, and flammability are considered.
What you will learn:
- Nonwoven fabric property development
- Nonwoven fabric property measurement
- Nonwoven fabric property control
Why attend...
How nonwoven fabric properties are developed, measured, and controlled.
Who should attend...
Anyone who has to control, measure, sell, or purchase nonwoven fabrics based on their physical properties would benefit from this course. Specifically persons in nonwoven management, marketing, product development, manufacturing as well as suppliers to the industry and users of its products would find it useful. Experience in nonwovens or attendance at introductory courses would be helpful, but not required.
