NONWOVEN FABRIC FOR PRESS MOLDING, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING MOLDED ARTICLE

摘要

Provided is a nonwoven fabric for press molding and a molded product. With use of the nonwoven fabric, a fiberboard can be molded in a shorter time and even by 3D press molding a molded product with an excellent appearance quality can be obtained. The nonwoven fabric for press molding is formed of polylactic acid fibers and natural fibers and is characterized by that the polylactic acid fibers have a crystallization temperature on cooling of 120°C or higher, that the nonwoven fabric has a tensile strength of 20 N/cm 2 or higher, and that the nonwoven fabric has a tensile stress of 80 N/cm 2 or less at 30% tensile elongation in a 200°C atmosphere. The molded product is obtainable with use of the nonwoven fabric.
