A synthetic fibre made from two fibre-forming polymers which may be arranged to lie side-by-side or as a sheath surrounding a core. By suitable heat treatment a crimped fibre is produced because of the different shrinkage properties of the two polymers. Advantage may also be taken of the sheath having a lower softening temperature than the core to produce a non-woven fabric.  4, record 1, English, - bicomponent%20fiber

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Two different polymers can be extruded side by side in a single fiber coming from the spinneret to create a bicomponent. One of the polymers will have greater heat and/or moisture sensitivity than the other and will spiral during the finishing process thus creating a fiber with greater bulk and comfort.  5, record 1, English, - bicomponent%20fiber

Fibre multicomposée : Fibre dont la section transversale comporte au moins deux constituants distincts, chacun d'eux étant pratiquement continu tout le long de la fibre. Les pourcentages relatifs des constituants sont constants dans l'ensemble, mais peuvent varier en toutes proportions le long des fibres. Si ces constituants se présentaient séparément sous forme de fibres, celles-ci seraient classées sous le même nom générique. Dans le cas de deux constituants, la fibre est dite «bicomposée».  6, record 1, French, - fibre%20bicompos%C3%A9e

Surface cracking due to oxidation and shrinkage stresses, which shows as repetitive mounding of an asphalt surface, resembling the hide of an alligator.  2, record 2, English, - alligatoring

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Although heat is also a factor in the deterioration of asphalt on a roof, the real source of decay is the energy carried by the ultra-violet(UV) light of the sun, combined with the ready supply of oxygen in ozone. The "links" in asphalt molecular chains are hydrogen. The molecular bond is overcome by the strong attraction of the oxygen, which pulls the hydrogen away from the asphalt molecules. This process is called photo-oxidation, and these breaks in the "aliphatic" chain results in the shrinkage cracking common to asphalt. This phenomenon is commonly called "alligatoring" in roofing parlance, a term which describes the similarity of aged asphalt surfaces to an alligator's back.  3, record 2, English, - alligatoring

Propiedad que poseen la lana y algunas otras fibras animales de entrelazarse íntimamente, para formar una masa compacta.  1, record 3, Spanish, - afieltrado

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

El principal factor causante del afieltramiento es la presencia de escamas en la superficie de la fibra y tiene lugar bajo acción mecánica y en presencia de agua y calor. Esta propiedad es negativa, a veces, como en el lavado intenso de artículos de punto, y positiva, otras, ya que permite mejorar las propiedades de los tejidos, como en el caso de los tejidos planos de hilado cardado.  1, record 3, Spanish, - afieltrado
