FLAME-RETARDANT IMAGED NONWOVEN FABRIC

摘要

A method of forming flame-retardant nonwoven fabrics by hydroentanglement (1 4 and 22) includes providing a precursor web. The precursor web is subjected t o hydroentanglement on a three-dimensional image transfer device (18) to creat e a patterned and imaged fabric. Treatment with a flame-retardant binder enhances the integrity of the fabric, permitting the nonwoven to exhibit desired physical characteristics, including strength, durability, softness, and drapeability. The treated nonwoven may then be dyed by means applicable to conventional wovens.
