SYNTHETIC FELT [5 records]

English

  • Fabric Nomenclature
  • Nonwoven Textiles
CONT

Synthetic felt is made from polyester or other man-made fibers that are combined, into felt material using a needle punch process or heat. It has a soft texture and is manufactured using different types of fibers to produce varying levels of harness and strength. [It] is commonly used for dunnage, anti-squeak applications, crating, filtration, padding, wipers, and a wide range of other applications. Because it is 100% synthetic, this material is highly mildew and wear resistant, and can withstand higher temperatures than wool felt.

La feutrine est […] un produit industriel, fabriqué avec des machines à aiguilles harponnées qui amalgament les fibres d'une manière mécanique. Elle est la plupart du temps composée entièrement de fibres synthétiques ou acryliques.

Subject field(s)
  • Paper Manufacturing Processes
CONT

The evolution of press clothing from "conventional felts" to engineered fabrics has paralleled changes in paper machine design. Originally, all felts were woven from spun yarns and were mechanically felted or "fulled" to provide bulk and stability. These felts, manufactured mainly from wool, had low vertical permeability and poor service life. The needling process developed in the 1950's made possible the introduction of the "batt-on-base" felt. This construction involves the vertical needling of a fibrous web(batt) onto a woven base fabric. This change allowed higher percentages of synthetic fibers to be used.

«L'arbre généalogique» de la conception des feutres de presse humide est représenté à la figure 16-86. À l'origine, on tissait tous les feutres, puis on les feutrait ou «foulait» mécaniquement pour leur donner volume et stabilité. Ces feutres, à base de laine, avaient une perméabilité verticale faible et une durée de vie courte. Le procédé d'aiguilletage, mis au point dans les années cinquante, a permis d'obtenir des feutres beaucoup plus orientés dans le sens vertical et d'utiliser une quantité de fibres synthétiques plus importante. Ce procédé permet de fixer un voile synthétique sur un canevas [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Paper Manufacturing Processes
CONT

The wet web is held tightly against the cylinders by a synthetic, permeable fabric called a dryer felt. The fabric also serves to support and guide the sheet through the dryer section.(In some cases, it also aids in controlling cross-direction shrinkage and keeps the sheet flat, i. e., prevents sheet cockling.)

OBS

cockle: A paper defect appearing as a wrinkle caused by nonuniform shrinking due to uneven drying or sheet formation.

  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
OBS

Where greater demands are made on the effectiveness of the rubbing seal, particularly for oil lubricated bearings, lip seals are often used in preference to felt seals. A wide range of proprietary lip-type seals is available in the form of ready-to-install units comprising a seal of synthetic rubber or plastic material normally enclosed in a sheet metal casing.

OBS

Les joints à lèvre procurent une meilleure étanchéité, surtout dans le cas d'une lubrification à l'huile. Ils se présentent sous forme d'éléments prêts au montage, constitués du joint proprement dit en caoutchouc synthétique ou en matière plastique et, le plus souvent, d'une armature en tôle.
