FORMALDEHYDE-FREE CROSS-LINKING BINDERS FOR NONWOVENS

This paper presents a new family of formaldehyde-free acrylic thermose t resins for bonding nonwovens. Potential application areas for these new crosslinking resins include wet-laid fibreglass nonwovens, filtrat ion media, and other high-temperature-resistant substrates. Specific s ubject areas presented include the physical properties of acrylic ther moset resins and laboratory data defining the product performance char acteristics. This paper is a continuation of the work presented by Gle im (1).
