Abstract:

This article presents the results of studies on the production process and properties of Spunlace type fibre. The fibre in question was made on the basis of a mixture of 80% polyester and 20% viscose. The studies concerned the selection of the optimal parameters of the carding process, based on two carders running in parallel. The purpose of the tests was to provide the expected strength of fibre, both longitudinally and transversely, as defined by the MD/CD ratio, under optimum process performance.
