  • METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A COMPOSITE NONWOVEN FABRIC SUITABLE FOR GEOTEXTILE USE
    Publication number: 20150337467
    Abstract: A composite fabric, suitable for geotextile use, is manufactured by obtaining a web of metal material consisting of a plurality individual strands of metal that are substantially parallel to each other, are substantially unidirectionally oriented, and have not undergone any carding, garneting, lapping, or needle punching processing, and wherein the individual strands of metal have not been cut to any particular length, and obtaining a scrim layer having a porous, open woven configuration. The web of metal material is attached to the scrim layer to form the composite fabric material. The attachment may be by needle punching the web of metal material to the scrim layer.

  • Reinforced nonwoven metal fabric
    Patent number: 5972814
    Abstract: A reinforced nonwoven metal fabric is disclosed. A mass of loose metal fibers is processed through suitable textile apparatus to result in a metal fiber web, which is then lapped to form a multi-layered structure. This structure is then formed into a metal fabric via needle-punching. A suitable backing is then introduced during or after the needle-punch process, resulting in a reinforced nonwoven metal fabric having superior strength and durability.
