Abstract: A free fibre or loose fibre structure for padding comprising a shell containing a plurality of free or loose fibres, said structure being characterised in that said free or loose fibres have a cut that reproduces the length, and in part the fineness, of genuine goose down.

Abstract: A process and plant for making wadding or fiber flocks starting from a padded textile product, either recycled or resulting from surplus production, wherein processing is carried out together and simultaneously of all the textile materials forming the same starting padded product. Compared with the known embodiments of the sector, the process and plant of the invention, in an economical, rapid and entirely mechanized way, allow wadding or fiber flocks to be produced that can be used as insulating padding in the clothing and furnishing sectors.

Abstract: A wadding structure for use as padding, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of fibres bound together by means of a resin with variable-density uniform finish. The variable-density finish may have a higher or lower density according to the need. The density of the finish entails a variation of the thickness of the product, which on average can guarantee a bulk 30% greater than that of a wadding produced in a traditional way with resin-spraying finish. A greater bulk of the product entails a greater heat value, typically approximately 20% greater, as it is precisely the amount of air embedded in the structure of the wadding that determines its thermal insulation.
