Abstract

In this study, needle-punched 100% polyester nonwovens differing in basis weights and fabric thicknesses were analyzed based on water absorption capacity and liquid wetting time. The effect of fabric density on absorbency and wetting behaviors' were examined. These nonwoven fabrics aimed to be used as capillary mineral bags for interior plantation together with different granule sized pumice. In application study, the effect of physical properties of nonwovens and granule sizes of pumice were investigated based on water consumption.
