Appl. No.:

13/297787

Inventors:

Sanjay Wahal - Appleton WI, US
Edward J. Clark - Pearisburg VA, US
Ray Robertson - Blacksburg VA, US
Jeffrey Scott Conley - Narrows VA, US

Assignee:

Celanese Acetate LLC - Irving TX

International Classification:

D01F 1/02
D02G 3/24
D04H 3/02

US Classification:

264103, 28220, 28283, 264211, 264555

Abstract:

A system may include a plurality of tow band processing lines and a master air jet in communication with the tow band processing lines to receive a plurality of processed tow bands from the tow band processing lines to form a bulked web. The system may be used to form a bulked web that itself is a nonwoven material or that may be further processed into a nonwoven material.

US Classification:

210508, 442 63, 428174, 26417113, 181294

Abstract:

Generally, in situ core/skin nonwoven materials may be produced from polymer melt filaments with collection in a heated collector. an in situ core/skin nonwoven material produced with heated collectors may have, at least, a core comprising a plurality of polymer melt filaments and a skin on at least one side of the core, which may advantageously translate to unique structural characteristics, properties, and applications not previously realized.
