Non-Woven Fabric
Nonwoven fabrics whose fiber content has been bonded by heat to fuse individual fibers together at their crossover points, and nonwovens bonded by applying a liquid adhesive substance, e.g., a natural or synthetic polymer latex or emulsion, to a fibrous mat or web, including such nonwovens onto or into which an antistatic agent has also been incorporated, have been disclosed as being useful as diskette or disk jacket or cartridge liners. fibrous materials such as nylon (polyamide), polyesters, viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, polypropylene, Non-Woven Fabric
Nonwoven fabrics whose fiber content has been bonded by heat to fuse individual fibers together at their crossover points, and nonwovens bonded by applying a liquid adhesive substance, e.g., a natural or synthetic polymer latex or emulsion, to a fibrous mat or web, including such nonwovens onto or into which an antistatic agent has also been incorporated, have been disclosed as being useful as diskette or disk jacket or cartridge liners. fibrous materials such as nylon (polyamide), polyesters, viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, polypropylene, acrylic resins, alkyl acrylate copolymers and so forth mixed with a binder to form [a] nonwoven cloth. The nonwoven materials are fabric-like products which are made by arranging fibers (the above-[described] fibrous materials), in a web or mat form by a conventional method and then bonding the fibers to each other using an adhesive such as a natural latex . Used for floppy disk liners includes almost entirely polyester fibers. This type of fiber is formed into a cohesive layer by applying a liquid binder solution containing, in addition to other substances, polyester molecules and a catalyst, to a mass of loose fibers. This coated mass of fibers is then further processed to polymerize certain components in the binder solution yielding a cohesive layer of bound fibers comprising approximately 93% polyester fibers and 7% polyester terpolymer binder. The polyester terpolymer binder is formed by the polymerization of the polyester molecules contained in the binder solution applied to the loose fiber mass.
