METHODOLOGY FOR THE SELECTION OF CHEMICAL TEXTILE PRODUCTS

Abstract

The development of new processes in the textile industry entails designing methodologies to select adequate supplies that fit these new processes requirements. This paper presents a methodology used to select a textile binder that fulfill technical specifications of a new process to produce nonwoven fabrics, highlighting mainly its ability to form a protective film on the textile fibers and cohesion them without staining, weakening or breaking them. The proposed methodology involves three major phases: (1) consulting textile experts, (2) laboratory tests, and (3) factor weighting. The results indicate that there are two products that can be used in this new process: Arkofil and Size plus AC.
