Abstract
Development in technical in textiles especially nonwoven fabrics/materials offers a brightly limitless prospect for the textile industry to lance into an extensive series of applications ranging from earth to space and beyond. Nonwoven industrial wipes fabric properties are the result of production technology and the combination of fabric constructional parameters. This work looks into the effect of fabric parameters on the desired properties of nonwoven industrial wipes fabricated by needle punching technique with the utilization of viscose and polyester fibres and their blends using RSM. The basic and essential characterization techniques to obtain information related to physiochemical properties of the nonwoven fabrics, using analytical investigation techniques have been evaluated. The results obtained established that the fabric parameters have a great influence on the nonwoven fabric structure and ultimately its properties. The result revealed that higher content of PET fibres led to a reduction in the vertical wicking rate, but better rising height can be achieved at samples made from 100 % of viscose fibres. Also, the influence of pore size and porosity largely influenced the fabric characteristics. The fibre volume fraction on the strength of nonwovens has been studied. The fabricated wipes present themselves as potential candidates for highly absorbent industrial wipes.
