Abstract
All existing types of chemical fibres, including the new generation (aramid, bicomponent, polyacrylate, etc.) are now actually raw material for nonwoven materials. More than 60 firms in Western Europe manufacture chemical, primarily synthetic, fibres for production of nonwovens by dry, wet, water-jet, thermobonding and ChemBonding, needle punch, and other methods, including melt spinning (spanbond/meltblown). The highest growth rates in manufacture and consumption of nonwovens is predicted for 2005-2010, where such consumption areas as geotextiles, construction, medicine, and others should have a leading role.
