  • Nonwoven fabric for buffing applications
    Publication number: 20040110456
    Abstract: A method of forming a nonwoven fabric suitable for metal-finishing buffing operations includes providing a precursor web comprising polyester, staple length fibers, with hydroentanglement of the web effected to impart desired physical characteristics. Hydroentanglement is effected on a three-dimensional, image transfer device having an array of three-dimensional surface elements for patterning the fabric which is formed. Application of a binder composition lends desired durability to the fabric, with the binder composition preferably including a melamine polymeric composition to achieve the desired strength and abrasion resistance.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 14, 2003
    Publication date: June 10, 2004
    Applicant: Polymer Group, Inc.
    Inventors: Herbert P. Hartgrove, Robert Gregory Rabon, Edwin Gregory Browne, Cheryl L. Carlson, Nick Mark Carter
