A technique for bonding fibers of a web with meltable powders or fibers, using infrared heating, hot air, or hot-calendering. 1, record 2, English, - thermobonding
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Thermal bonding is somewhat unique to synthetic, thermoplastic fibers. Here, the fibers are distributed onto belts as webs that are subsequently bonded together with heat. 3, record 2, English, - thermobonding
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Thermally bonded fabric is usually produced by passing loose webs of synthetic fibers through calender rolls or ovens. Calender-bonded fabric is produced using hot calender rolls that press fibers together at selected points(much like film heat sealing) and create patterns of tiny dots of fused fibers that hold the web together. Oven-bonded fabric is produced when the fibers are fused together with hot air wherever they touch one another. Calender-bonded fabric is flat and cloth-like. Oven-bonded fabric is more open and lofty. 3, record 2, English, - thermobonding

Sultriness... derives from swelter or sultry which refers to hot and humid weather conditions, making the air feel "close" or "oppressive. "Forecasters may use the term when they are predicting high dew points, combinations of high temperature and high humidity. It is more commonly a term used in forecasting in the tropics, but certainly applied this week in Minnesota when our dew point temperatures rose into the 70s. 3, record 3, English, - sultriness

The bonding methods include :(1) homofil bonding, in which all filaments are composed of a single polymer type, but some of the filaments have different melting characteristics. Bonding is achieved by a high-temperature calendering operation, accomplished by passing fabric between two hot rollers; and(2) heterofil bonding, in which some of the filaments comprise two types of polymers having different melting points(heterofilaments), while others have only one polymer(homofilaments). The heterofilaments have different softening characteristics from the homofilaments, and strong flexible bonds can therefore be formed at the heterofilament crossover points by controlled application of heat and pressure to fuse only the lower melting point polymer forming the sheat, while leaving the core and homofilaments unaffected. 1, record 5, English, - homofilament

The non-woven geotextiles, either needle-formed or melt-bonded, were initially picked through a quasitheoretical analysis.... In the melt-bonded fabrics, the spacing and opening sizes are controlled by the random overlaps of the web prior to melt bonding. This results in opening size and spacing ranges. Visual examination of these fabrics indicates that many of the spacing tend to be smaller than the openings. Logically this would be advantageous for drainage filtration applications because it is theoretically impossible to block each and every pore. 1, record 7, English, - melt%2Dbonded
