Abstract: A method for producing a long fiber nonwoven fabric includes (a) melting resin containing polyphenylene sulfide as main component, discharging it from a spinneret, solidifying resulting filaments by cooling and stretching the filaments by pulling them out of an ejector at a spinning speed of 3,000 m/min or more while heat-treating as the filaments travel to the ejector outlet to provide a long fiber; (b) collecting the long fiber on a moving net to form a nonwoven web; and (c) subjecting the nonwoven web to thermal bonding.

Abstract: A production method for a filament non-woven fabric includes a) obtaining filaments having a crystallization temperature not exceeding 112° C. by melting a resin containing polyethylene sulfide as a main component which is not substantially copolymerized with trichlorobenzene; b) pulling and drawing fiber threads formed by discharging the melted resin from spinning nozzles at a spinning speed of at least 5,000 m/min and less than 6,000 m/min by an ejector disposed such that a distance between a bottom face of the spinning nozzles and a compressed air emission outlet of the ejector is 450-650 mm; c) collecting obtained filaments on a moving net, forming a non-woven web; and d) thermocompression bonding the obtained non-woven web using a heating roller.

Abstract: The present invention provides a nonwoven fabric for cylindrical bag filter, wherein a long-fiber nonwoven fabric made of a synthetic fiber is used and the long-fiber nonwoven fabric is a long-fiber nonwoven fabric which is made of a thermoplastic continuous filament and is partially thermocompression-bonded. It is preferable that the circular arc flexural rigidity per basis weight is 0.050 to 1.000 ((cN/2 cm)/(g/m2)) and the air permeation rate per basis weight is 0.010 to 0.500 ((cc/cm2/sec)/(g/m2)).

Abstract: The invention provides a leather-like sheet material which is excellent in surface appearance, texture and physical properties and considerate of the environment; a process for the production thereof; and interior, clothing, and industrial materials made by using the same. A leather-like sheet material made from a nonwoven fabric which is constituted of ultra-fine fibers having a mean single-fiber fineness of 0.001 to 0.5 dtex and impregnated with a self-emulsifiable polyurethane, wherein the self-emulsifiable polyurethane and the ultra-fine fibers do substantially not adhere closely to each other, the moieties of the polyurethane have a nonporous structure, and the polyurethane has a structure crosslinked by siloxane bond in the molecular structure.

Abstract: A sheet comprising a non-woven fabric in which ultra-fine fibers of a single fiber thickness of 0.5 dtex or less are entangled and an elastomeric binder mainly composed of a polyurethane, wherein the polyurethane is a polycarbonate-based polyurethane having a polycarbonate skeleton represented by both of the following general formulas (1) and (2), and having a gelation point of 2.5 ml or more and less than 6 ml. R1 and R2 are aliphatic hydrocarbon groups with 7 to 11 carbons, and they may be same or different, n and m are positive integers, and when R1 and R2 are different, it is a block copolymer or a random copolymer. R3 and R4 are aliphatic hydrocarbon groups with 3 to 6 carbons, and they may be same or different, x and y are positive integers, and when R3 and R4 are different, it is a block copolymer or a random copolymer.
