Healthcare & Hygiene Products Extracorporeal Devices Implantable Materials Non- implantable Materials CLASSIFICATION - Application
Non-Woven Property – Medical Applications • Porosity • Weight of fabric • Thickness • Nonwovens are easy to sterilize • Various Manufacturing technique options according to applications • Economical Manufacturing Process
Non-Woven • Nonwovens are webs made of fibres / Polymers – Web Forming • For End-use application – Web Bonding • Web Bonding Methods can be • Mechanical • Needle Punching • Spunlace • Thermal • Chemical
Fibre – Opening & Blending Nonwoven Carding Cross-Lapping Pre-Needle Loom Finish Needle Loom Winding & Cutting NEEDLE PUNCHING FLOWCHART
NEEDLE FELT TECHNOLGY • Felting needles penetrate through crosslapped fibre batt • Barbs of felting needles catch and transport fibres • By means of this fibres entangle, fibre batt consolidates and needle felt with strength properties is created
