The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric having a three-dimensional printed surface which is achieved by screen printing the fabric with a puff pigment to create an inexpensive, textured fabric. The fabric is preferably printed with a puff pigment of contrasting color, when compared with the color of the base fabric, so that an aesthetically pleasing two-tone fabric is produced. The fabric is primarily comprised of continuous multi-component fibers that are at least partially split along their length. The fabric may be manufactured into such end-use products as automotive interior fabric, apparel, drapery, cleaning cloths, upholstery, and office panels. Also encompassed within this invention is a method for producing a nonwoven fabric having a three-dimensional printed surface.
A spun-bonded nonwoven fabric having a three-dimensional printed surface, wherein the spun-bonded nonwoven fabric is comprised of continuous multi-component fibers that are at least partially split along their length into individual filament fibers by mechanical or chemical action.
A spun-bonded nonwoven fabric having a three-dimensional screen printed surface, wherein the spun-bonded nonwoven fabric is comprised of continuous multi-component fibers that are at least partially split along their length into individual filament fibers by mechanical or chemical action.
A spun-bonded nonwoven fabric having a three-dimensional screen printed surface, wherein, the spun-bonded nonwoven fabric is comprised of continuous multi-component fibers that are at least partially split along their length into individual filament fibers by mechanical or chemical action, and wherein puff pigment is used to create the three-dimensional screen printed surface.
