MECHANICAL PARTIAL NEUTRALIZATION OF HYDROGEN BONDS FOR PRODUCTION OF A SOFTER AND MORE SILKY AIR-LAID FIBROUS PRODUCT

摘要

A method is provided for producing a soft and silky air-laid fibrous product. After the forming of a product a two-directional stretching is affected thereby establishing a fine mosaic pattern of invisible lines. In said lines the covalent bonds are maintained whereas the hydrogene bonds are neutralized. Hereby a very soft and silky product is obtained having a good hand and feel.
