A method for producing a nonwoven fabric made of crimped synthetic fibers, wherein the synthetic fibers are spun and are deposited on a conveyor as a nonwoven web. The deposited nonwoven web is pre-bonded by means of at least one first hot-air bonding device, wherein a main suction air is sucked from below through the conveyor in the area of fiber deposition. A first suction air is sucked from below through the conveyor in the region of the first hot-air bonding device. The air speed of the main suction air is greater than the air speed of the first suction air.

A method of creating a soft and lofty continuous fiber nonwoven web is provided. The method includes providing first and second, different molten polymers to a spinneret defining a plurality of orifices and flowing a fluid intermediate the spinneret and a moving porous member. The method includes using the fluid to draw the first and second molten polymers, in a direction toward the porous member, through at least some of the plurality of orifices to form a plurality of individual continuous fiber strands. The method includes depositing the continuous fiber strands onto the porous member at a first location to produce an intermediate continuous fiber nonwoven web, and intermittently varying, in at least two different zones, a vacuum force applied to the moving porous member and to the intermediate web downstream of the first location and without the addition of more continuous fibers and without any heat applied.

A degradable polyester fiber and its preparation method are disclosed. The preparation method is to cool a PET melt dispersing with doped ZrO.sub.2 powder by ring-blowing after extruded from a trilobal spinneret hole on a spinneret, and manufacture a fully drawn yarn (FDY) according to an FDY process with the PET melt, then the degradable polyester fiber is prepared after a relaxation heat treatment. The trilobal spinneret hole on the spinneret has three leaves with unequal lengths and angles, and all the trilobal spinneret holes are distributed in concentric circles, with a center line of the leaf opposite to the smallest angle in each trilobal spinneret hole passing through the center of the circle, and pointing away from the center of the circle. The process is simple, and the obtain fiber has good performances in degradation and elasticity.

A carpet comprising a backing and pile comprising looped or cut tufts of pile yarn attached to and extending from the backing. The pile yarn comprises un-twisted, entangled filaments. The filaments are self-crimped and optionally textured multi-component filaments. A first component of the multi-component filament comprises a first thermoplastic polymer and a second component of the multi-component filaments comprises a second thermoplastic polymer. The first and the second thermoplastic polymer have different yield behavior, whereby the multi-component filaments are self-crimping.

Disclosed is a curly fiber having a fiber centroid and comprising a first region having a first centroid and a second region wherein the first region comprises an ethylene/alpha olefin interpolymer composition in an amount of at least 75 weight percent based on total weight of the first region and wherein the ethylene/alpha olefin interpolymer composition is characterized by a low temperature peak and a high temperature peak on an elution profile via improved comonomer composition distribution (ICCD) procedure, and a full width at half maximum of the high temperature peak is less than 6.0° C. and the second region is a material comprising a polymer which is different from the ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer of the first region and wherein the regions are arranged such that at least one of the first centroid and the second centroid is not the same as the fiber centroid.
