BIO-DEGRADABLE COPOLYESTER NONWOVEN FABRIC

摘要

A nonwoven fabric produced using an aliphatic copolyester as the filament material in a meltspinning process and apparatus including a filament extruder, spinneret and drawing unit having the capability of high velocity filament production. The fabric produced is biodegradable, soft, highly drapeable and has elastic properties. The degree of elasticity may be adjusted by varying filament production conditions and bonding parameters.
