Method of making nonwoven loop material for hook and loop fasteners

摘要

A method for making loop material for hook and loop fasteners comprising the steps of forming a nonwoven web of randomly deposited nonelastomeric thermoplastic fibers, wherein the nonwoven web has a front side and a back side. Wherein the web is the consolidated by stretching the web in an x direction and then stretching the nonwoven web in a y direction thereby creating looped fibers, a majority of which are in an "x-y" plane. And wherein fluid is passed through the nonwoven web in a "z" direction and then stabilized in the "z" direction.
