- Felt is a non-woven cloth that is
produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers. The fibers form the
structure of the fabric. While some types of felt are very soft, some
are tough enough to form construction materials. Felt can be of any
color, and made into any shape or size.
- Felt is the oldest form of fabric
known to humankind. It predates weaving and knitting, although there is
archaeological evidence from the British Museum that the first known
thread was made by winding vegetable fibers on the thigh.
- Felt is generally composed of wool
that is mixed with a synthetic in order to create sturdy, resilient felt
for craft or industrial use. However, some felt is made wholly from
synthetic fibers.
- Felt is made by compressing fibers
to make a non-woven fabric The non-woven fabric is carbonized to make an
activated carbon. Process similar to that used for making charcoals from
coconut, wood, etc..
- Felt is made by a process called
wet felting, where the natural wool fiber is stimulated by friction and
lubricated by moisture (usually soapy water), and the fibers move at a
90 degree angle towards the friction source and then away again, in
effect making little "tacking" stitches. Only 5% of the fibers are
active at any one moment, but the process is continual, and so different
'sets' of fibers become activated and then deactivated in the continual
process.
- Felt is used in a wide variety of
applications both within the residential and industrial contexts. Felt
is used in air fresheners, children's bulletin boards, craft kits,
holiday costumes and decorations, stamp pads, within appliances,
gaskets, as a clothing stiffener or liner, and it can be used as a
cushion, to provide pads for polishing apparatus, or as a sealant in
industrial machinery.
- Polyethylene and resinated
asbestos feltt which have certain advantages over celluloid and moulded
leather, should be regarded not as substitutes but as useful additions
to a range of synthetic materials which permit the degrees of rigidity
and flexibility required for various appliances.
- Carbon fiber felts are an ideal
system for studying chemical vapor infiltration with carbon. Carbon
fiber felts applying a combination of different scanning force
techniques including lateral force microscopy (LFM), force modulation
microscopy (FMM) and adhesion force imaging in the pulsed force mode
(PFM).
- Needle felting, punching,
embellishing, all refer to the technique of “punching or felting” one
fiber into another. Interweave Felt explores the three major techniques
of feltmaking: felted knitting (known as shrinking your knitting),
traditional wet felting, and needle felting. Interweave Felt also
includes a few tried-and-true projects.
- Some nonwoven materials such as
felt have been in use for thousands of years but the blossoming of
nonwovens into more widespread use has occurred mostly within the past
few decades. Felts are used to press and dewater the paper web formed by
wires.
- The production of man-made fibre
during 2004-05 amounted to 774.65 million kg. as compared to 732.32
million kg. the during 2003-04 constituting an increase of
5.7%.
- US demand for nonwoven roll goods
is projected to increase 3.9 percent per year to $5.6 billion in 2011,
driven by healthy gains in key markets such as filtration, construction,
wipes and adult incontinence.
- A US Company is rapidly taking
over the felt market—and it’s selling to more and more large companies
who have adopted Six Sigma quality programs and employ quality experts
known as "Black Belts."
