A textile fabric having increased improved surface properties, variously including surface stability, abrasion resistance, resistance to edge fraying, moisture control, and resistance to fluid penetration is created by introducing a plurality of particles including low-melting particles onto a top surface of the textile fabric. The top surface includes elevated areas, depressed areas, a plurality of surface fibers and gaps among the plurality the plurality of surface fibers. A desired pattern of particle deposition and depth of penetration from the top surface of the plurality of particles into the gaps is established, and heat is applied to the top surface to melt the low-melting particles deposited onto the surface.

Aspects herein are directed to a recyclable, asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile includes a first face formed, at least in part from a first entangled web of fibers and an opposite second face formed, at least in part from a second entangled web of fibers. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first face forms an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel, and the second face forms an inner-facing surface of the article of apparel. The first face includes features making it suitable to form the outer-facing surface such as resistance to abrasion, and the second face includes features making it suitable to form an inner-facing surface such as a soft hand.

Provided is a fiber sheet for molding, characterized in that a print resin is applied on the surface of the fiber sheet containing highly crimped fibers, and the amount of the print resin is 30 g/m.sup.2 or less, and the air permeability of the fiber sheet is 5 to 30 cm.sup.3/cm.sup.2/sec. The fiber sheet for molding can be molded without generating wrinkles, and has a good sound absorbing property. When a pattern is formed with the printing resin, the fiber sheet for molding is also excellent in design properties.

A thermofusible sheet material which can be used as a fusible interlining in the textile industry, has a carrier layer made from a textile material to which a polyurethane foam coating is applied. The polyurethane foam has a pore structure in which more than 50% of the pores have a diameter, measured according to DIN ASTM E 1294, which is in the range of 5 to 30 m.

A method for making a wadding strip element, in particular to be used for making paddings of clothing articles such windcheaters and/or shoes, the wadding material being adapted for depositing thereon at least an auxiliary material, comprises at least the further step of subjecting the wadding strip element to a combined chemical, mechanical and thermal treatment process adapted to increase the mechanical strength of the wadding strip element and reduce its porosity, thereby allowing the deposit on at least a surface of at least a printing material or an auxiliary material thereby the deposited material only slightly penetrates the wadding material to create on the surface a predetermined printed pattern configuration adapted to withstand washing operations and inevitable wear, without decomposing.

A thermally fusible sheetlike structure, especially usable as fusible interlining in the textile industry, has a carrier ply made from a textile material to which has been applied a two-ply adhesive composition structure comprising an underlayer directly adjoining the sheetlike structure and an overlayer disposed upon the underlayer, wherein the underlayer contains a first hotmelt adhesive and the overlayer a second hotmelt adhesive, wherein the first hotmelt adhesive has a melting point of >140 C. and a melt flow index (MFI) value of >50 g/10 minutes (190 C./2.16 kg) and the second hotmelt adhesive a melting point of <145 C. and an MFI value of <50 (190 C./2.16 kg).
