NONWOVEN SHEETING HAVING TAILOR-MADE, NON-UNIFORM PROPERTIES

摘要

Proposed is a nonwoven sheeting containing at least one layer of fibers, which at least one layer has a length, a width, and a thickness, which distinguishes itself in that along a direction parallel to its longitudinal direction and/or along a direction parallel to its transverse direction this layer forms two or more sections, with adjoining sections each exhibiting different mechanical properties. The invention is further directed to the use of the nonwoven sheeting as tufting backing for carpets, carrier for bituminous sheeting, and in irrigation mats, dust control mats, carpet tiles, and secondary carpet backings.
