Manufacturing Technique and Property Evaluation of RFPET/TPET Hybrid Nonwoven Fabric

Abstract:

Heat energy plays a significant role in resources and industries, which makes the development of energy-saving and thermal retention materials important to environment protection. This study combines three-dimensional hollow Polyethylene Terephthalate (TPET) fibers, recycled far-infrared polyethylene terephthalate (RFPET) fibers, and low melting temperature polyethylene terephthalate (LPET) fibers at various ratios to make the RFPET/TPET hybrid nonwoven fabric. The tensile strength, tearing strength, air permeability, and far infrared emissivity of the fabrics are evaluated. With a blending ratio of 8:0:2, the hybrid nonwoven fabrics have the optimum tensile strength of 145 N, tear strength of 184 N, and air permeability of 205 cm³/cm²/s.
