INDUSTRIAL FABRIK & FELT PRODUCTS

FELT

W TI  FELT   is  a   fabric   produced   without   spinning   or   weaving   by    using  mechanical  action  to  interlock  fibres  to produce a homogeneous  mass   of      interlaced fibres. Wool fibres  if subjected to heat, moisture and  mechanical action,      will  migrate  along  their  axes,  curl  and  interlace  with  adjacent  fibre  to   form  a      traditional   Woollen  felt.  Other  fibres   can  be  blended with the wool fibres when      characteristics are required which are not  obtainable  by wool alone, it  is the wool      in the blend which must supply the felting  ability.     Needle - Loomed felt can be produced from fibres without any natural felting ability      by  using the  penetrating  and  compressive action of  barbed needles to  interlock      the fibres into a homogeneous mass. Such felts can be made partly or wholly  from      fibres  such as Wool, Rayon, Polyester, Acrylic, Polypropylene etc.     There  are  a  number of materials which are erroneously called "felt" because they      have  felt   like   appearance. Cotton   batting,  roofing  felt,  crimped  paper  are  few      examples.
