PAPERmaking! FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF PAPER TECHNOLOGY Volume 3, Number 2, 2017
Nonwoven: A Versatile Fabric Singh JP* Department of Textile Technology, U.P. Textile Technology Institute, Kanpur, India Nonwoven is a textile product which is engineered in a very sophisticated way with the aid of modern technologies. Probably, these modern technologies are one of most important force which brought nonwovens up to the age of technical textiles. The term ‘Nonwoven’ came in existence more than half a century ago and at that time it was regarded as the low grade cheap substitute for traditional textiles. In its early stage it was manufactured from dry laid carded webs with the help of modified textile processing machines. Europe is the place where nonwoven originated, grown and matured. Now, the whole world together is making it more and more famous and useful.
