The EN ISO 9073-5 standard, developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), specifies a method for determining the resistance of nonwoven fabrics to mechanical penetration by a ball of a given diameter.
The method is primarily intended for use on nonwovens with a degree of elasticity for which a regular burst test cannot be applied.
Nonwovens are high performance non-woven fabrics created by processing different types of fibers with different methods. Nonwovens can take on the appearance of traditional textiles, mimic the durability and texture of woven fabrics, and even show thickness and absorbency properties like a sponge.
Nonwoven fabrics are one of the oldest and simplest textile fabrics. Non-woven fabrics are made directly from a fiber web, without yarn preparation required for weaving and knitting. In non-woven fabric, textile fibers are held together randomly. As with thermoplastic fibers, the fibers are fused with a substance such as starch, casein, rubber latex or synthetic resin.
Today, nonwovens provide fast, easy and effective solutions to problems at every stage of modern life with their wide usage areas. Today, nonwovens make life easier in many areas from hygienic disposable products to filters, from the construction industry to home and car decoration.
The EN ISO 9073-5 standard contains requirements and test methods for nonwovens that provide resistance to mechanical penetration and function as components of type fibers.
