Abstract
The present disclosure provides for methods of using compositions having improved microwave absorbing properties to cut textile webs. Specifically, the compositions utilized in the methods of the present disclosure absorb the microwave energy as heat, thereby cutting through the textile web.
Claims15
A process for cutting a textile web, the process comprising:
- applying a composition having a dielectric loss factor at 900 MHz and 22 degrees Celsius of at least about 5 in a pattern to the first face of the textile web;
- moving the textile web through a microwave application chamber of a microwave system;
- and
- operating the microwave system to impart microwave energy to the textile web in the microwave application chamber to facilitate cutting of the textile web.
