METHOD OF MANUFACTURE OF NONWOVEN FABRIC

摘要

A method of manufacture of a nonwoven cellulose fabric is disclosed. The fabric is made from fibres formed by extrusion of a solution of cellulose through a spinning jet. The extruded fibre is attenuated with a high velocity gas flow, and the attenuated fibre is collected on a surface (such as the curved surface of a rotating drum) on which the fibre web is subsequently coagulated. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed. The method and apparatus permit the manufacture of a nonwoven lyocell fabric web in which fibres are bonded together without the use of a binder.
