Abstract
Abstract A high bulk bonded non-woven fibre fleece containing natural and/or synthetic fibres and binder fibres, which are adhesive at higher temperatures, said binder fibres consisting of a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, the molar ratio of vinyl acetate to ethylene in said copolymer before saponification being in the range of 1:1 to 1:20. In the process to produce the bonded fleece, the fibres containing 5 to 50 percent by weight of binder fibres are formed to a non-woven fleece and the formed fleece is heated to temperatures of above 110* C, to render adhesive the binder fibres.

High bulk, non-woven fiber fleece comprising 5 to 50 percent by weight, based on the weight of fibers in the fiber fleece, of: (1) a material selected from the group consisting of cotton, regenerated cellulose, wool, acetyl cellulose, polyacrylonitrile, polyester amide, polyamide and polyurethane fibers; and (2) binder fibers, said binder fibers consisting essentially of a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing vinyl acetate and ethylene in a molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:20 in copolymerized form and which is saponifiEd to a degree of hydrolysis of 50 to 100 percent.
