Selection of a Textile Binder Application Method for a New Textile Process

The textile sector has been developing new alternative textile processes, which need to increase the performed research in this area, for the identification of optimal methodologies for the manufacture of textile products with specific technical characteristics. This research presents the procedure used for the selection of a textile binder application methodology, relevant process in the manufacturing of non-woven textiles. This method has to assure the formation of a homogenous and consistent film of binder over the fibers that permits the application of subsequent processes. The following application methods were evaluated: (1) Pistol-pistol, (2) sheet-pistol and (3) submersion.
