Needle Punched Carpet is made through the needling process. During this process, barbed needles repeatedly pierce the fiber layers, causing the fibers to intertwine with each other. These fibers can be natural fibers (such as wool), chemical fibers (such as polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber) or a mixture of them. The function of needling is to make the fibers bind closely together to form a carpet with a certain thickness and strength. By choosing fibers with different colors, materials and fiber lengths, a wide variety of patterns and textures can be created. It can be in a simple solid color style or a gorgeous style with complex patterns, which can meet different interior decoration requirements.
Needle Punched Knit Cloth combines the characteristics of the needling process and the knitting process. The knitting process endows the fabric with elasticity and good flexibility. The yarns form a fabric by looping and interlacing with each other, enabling it to fit the curves of the human body or the surfaces of objects well. The needling process, on the basis of the knitted fabric, further strengthens the binding between the fibers, making the fabric more compact and stable. After needling, the structure of the knitted fabric becomes thicker. The entanglement of the fibers increases the strength of the fabric, enabling it to withstand greater pulling forces and friction. Meanwhile, this structural change also improves the heat insulation and sound absorption performance of the fabric to some extent.
Needle Punched Felts can use a variety of fibers, such as wool, chemical fibers and so on. Wool needled felt has good warmth retention, elasticity and moisture absorption, while chemical fiber needled felt may perform better in aspects such as strength and chemical resistance. The choice of different fibers will endow the needled felt with different performance characteristics.
