RESIN BONDING
A common method of web bonding by using chemical agents, which may include adhesive resins and solvents. Most common is resin bonding. Latex resins (adhesive) are applied to the web…

RESILIENCY
The ability of a fiber or fabric to spring back when crushed or wrinkled. References for this information: Inda Edana
REPELLENCY
The ability to resist wetting and staining by materials and soils. References for this information: Inda Edana
RECONSTITUDED FIBER, REGENERATED FIBER
Fibers extruded from recovered and reprocessed waste polymer or blends of virgin and recovered waste polymer. Waste sources include recycled bottles, plastics, fiber, and other polymeric materials. References for this…
RAYON FIBER
A regenerated cellulose fiber, which, although chemically similar to cotton, differs in that its molecular weight is about one-fifth and crystallinity about one-half that of cotton. under ambient conditions, the…
RANDOM-LAID NONWOVEN
A random laid web bonded by one or more techniques to provide fabric integrity. Random-Laid nonwovens generally have more ISOTROPIC physical properties than a PARALLEL-LAID nonwoven. References for this information:…
RANDOM LAID
A web in which the fibers are laid in essentially random directions. References for this information: Inda Edana
RANDOM LAYING
Forming a web in such a way that the fibers or filaments are laid in essentially random directions. References for this information: Inda Edana
QUENCH, QUENCHING
Cooling of filaments after extrusion by carefully controlled airflow, common in SPUNLAID/SPUNBOND manufacturing systems. References for this information: Inda Edana
