Influence of the polyester non-wovens production type on their thermal and flammability properties

Abstract In recent years, non-wovens have become the main segment of textile production because they can find applications in different areas. Thermal insulation properties, fire resistance, and flexibility make them cost-effective efficient panels for buildings. This paper aims to study influence method surface treatment on thermophysical characteristics behavior under direct two polyethylene terephthalate non-woven fabrics. The fibers been bonded with polyacrylate adhesive or thermal coated silicone. Infrared spectroscopy, optical microscopy, analyses were applied compare non-wovens’ morphology, composition, properties. It founds that polyester acrylic additives bonding has a higher conductivity value high flammability complete combustion. contrast, thermosetting siliconized materials limited droplet release. silicone-based finish protects leading self-extinguishing stopping combustion sample.
