FELT
Felt manufacturer in India
Felt meaning - What is felt:
FELT is a textile structure pad type material made entirely from fibers which are physically interlocked without spinning or weaving by using mechanical action and force to interlock fibres to produce a homogenous mass of interlaced fibres. Wool fibres if subjected to heat, moisture and mechanical action, will migrate along their axes, curl and interlace with adjacent fibre to form a traditional Woollen Felt. Other fibres can be blended with Wool fibres when characteristics are required which are not obtainable by wool alone, but it is the Wool in the blend which must supply the felting ability. WOOL FELT was probably the first man made fabric. Archaeologists have found remains of Felt as much as 3000 years old. Because it has been around so long it is often taken for granted and many of its remarkable characteristics are overlooked, when designers and engineers are seeking materials for applications for which the unique properties of Woollen Felt would make it the ideal choice material.

Felt has a vast field of function, applications that reach from the general engineering workshop to the most up-to-date and automated industrial plants. Due to great diversity in specification and sizes the proper selection of Felt is of paramount importance to user.
The maximum performance of our wool felt is fully warranted by the fact that the selection of premium grade raw wool and as well as the complete manufacturing process of wool felt itself is done at our own plant with proper precision and care, using the latest manufacturing technology and the most sophisticated machines.
Good quality Felt are expected to possess the following qualities :
Correct selection of Hardness, available in Soft, Medium, Hard and Extra Hard
Wool Fineness : All types of Wool are available and blended in the manufacturing of Felt. Fine Sheep wool and coarse wool both are used.
High Fiber Length : Fiber length of wool play a very important role in determining the Splitting resistance and breaking strength.
Minimum VM content : Vegetable Matter ( VM ) are the impurities which comes alongside in Wool. Having Minimum VM content signifies the purity of felt.
Detailed knowledge of these above factors along with full understanding of End use and application helps us in giving careful selection of the Felt quality, backed by the expertise of more than 3 decades in Felt manufacturing goes a long way in giving a top quality product to its customers.
In today's competitive market Purchase manager and factories engineers and plant people keep a sharp eye on cost and the life of Felt. The demand for long lasting Felt is increasing day by day and that is why our Felt product is fast acquiring a reputation for its reliability and high performance under all working conditions.
Leveraging on our flawless product range, we have carved a niche for ourselves in the market. We manufacture complete range of Felt for all industrial applications required by following industries:

◆ Felt liner
◆ Press felt
◆ Filtering of gases, vapours, liquids
◆ Coating or wiping
FELT PROPERTIES
WICKING
FELT is an excellent Wicking material and can be used to transport small amounts of Lubricating Oils or other liquids at a uniform rate. Some Felts will lift oil as high as 10 cms above the level in the reservoir.
FELT AS A RESERVOIR
Wool Felt can absorb and hold several times its weight in various fluids including lubricating oils. The combination of storage capacity, inertness to the effect of oil, and it's wicking ability make it an ideal lubricator. Most sleeve bearing motors carry a supply of oil in a pad of Felt and transfer it as needed to the bearing surfaces through a Felt Wick.
FELT AS A VIBRATION DAMPENER
Wool Felt makes a superb Shock or vibration dampener because its stress - deformation curve forms a hysterics loop , soaking much of the energy instead of acting just as a spring.
RESISTANCE TO WEAR :
Woollen Felt is made from Wool. Each Wool fibre has a covering of hard overlapping scales of Keratin ( the same substance as the horns and hooves of cattle ) Keratin is very resistant to abrasion. The presence of scales males FELT not only tough but also makes it an excellent polishing medium.
MACHINABILITY
Wool Felt can be die cut into intricate shapes which will not fray or ravel. It can be stripped, skived, heat formed and run through dies which will form it into cylindrical wicks. It can be sewed readily and can be bonded to most surfaces. Hard Felt can be ground or machined.
VERSATILITY :
Felt is available in thicknesses ranging from 1 mm to 50 mm, in densities from 0.18 gms/c.c. to 0.80 gms/c.c. in wide range of qualities and colours etc.
RESISTANCE TO AGING :
Woollen Felt is essentially ageless. It does not deteriorate with age and its strength, resilience and dimension remain same for longtime.
RESISTANCE TO TEMPERATURE
Within a temperature range of -0.60 ° F to + 250 ° F , if allowed to regain its natural moisture contents at occasional intervals, Wool Felt evidences no change in strength, flexibility and other properties. For shorter intervals it can withstand still higher temperatures.
RESISTANCE TO CHEMICALS :
Wool Felt is completely inert to most hydrocarbons and to a wide range of other chemicals. It is fairly acid resistant but is damaged by alkalies. Water does not harm it but may cause dimensional change.
FLAMMABILITY
Wool Felt does not ignite readily; and when ignited, will under most circumstances extinguish itself. No toxic fumes are released in significant quantities.
INSULATION PROPERTIES
Wool Felt provides excellent insulation against cold and heat and provides high degree of sound absorption.
FILTRATION
Felt is a superb filter for many liquids and gases. Densities and thicknesses can be altered to achieve almost any degree of filtration.
Prices:
The price of wool felt depends upon the size, thickness, quantity and hardness. High quantity cuts the cost of of production. Higher the Quantity more competitive the rates.
