  • the thus cast-on filaments web was transferred onto a second carrier web, made of a 30-mesh stainless steel gauze wire net and then subjected to a hydraulic perforation job as before. Water delivery rate was lit/min at 20 kg/cm The results were substantially same as before.
  • the coagulation bath liquid contained: 130 g/lit. of sulfuric acid; 300 g/lit. of sodium sulfate; and 20 g/lit. of zinc sulfate. At the first stage, the bath liquid was supplied at a rate of 100 lit./min (40C) and at the second stage, it was fed at equal rate (60C).
  • the spinning units were same as used in the foregoing Example 1. However, the number of the spinning units was four in place of three. Each unit had an orifice plate having an array of 20 X 150 orifices, 1.0 mm bore diameter, arranged at pitches of 2
  • the coagulation bath liquid was a 37%-nitric acid aqueous solution.
  • the inlet rate between first and sec ond bath stage was 1 1.
  • Bath temperature was set to 3C for the both.
  • the conveyor was a 40-mesh stainless steel wire gauze net.
  • the thus cast-on filaments web was subjected to a hydraulic perforation job with use of fiat type spray nozzles at water delivery rate of 6.4 /min per spinning unit at a delivery pressure of 15 kg/cm
  • the suction boxes were operated at 740 mmHg.
  • the filaments entanglement and mutual fixture were performed without use of any bonding agent.
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 The general structure of the perforated non-woven web prepared according to this invention is shown schematically in FIGS. 13 and 14 in its plan view and in its cross-section, respectively.
  • numeral 101 represents regularly arranged elongated perforations
  • 102 represents downwardly extending projections which are again regularly arranged.
  • perforations 101 and projections 102 are arranged alternatively with each other.
  • the projection 1022 represents a densely condensed and mutually entangled filament mass. As seen from FIG. 13, these projections 102 are laterally (horizontally in FIG. 13) and longitudinally (vertically in FIG. 13) connected one after another by relatively thin band-like connecting portions 103. When horizontally seen, a pair of the projections 102 define one end of said elongated perforation or opening 101. When vertically seen, the next pair of the projections 102 define the opposite end of the next succeeding perforation or opening 101. These four projections 102 are connected crosswise by two physically cross-linking band portions 107. Vertically seen in FIG. 13, each two projections 102 are connected with each other by substantially parallely seen filament strip 106.
  • Two projections 102 are connected with each other laterally by a substantially parallely seen filament strip 108.
  • This strip 108 takes generally a convex curve when seen in FIG. 14.
  • 105 represents a yarn loops extending from each projection 102, providing favorable chance of entanglement with similar yarn loops of a further similar web when several similar webs are overlapped one after another, for providing any desired thick web group.
  • FIGS. 13 and 14 The foregoing explanation relating FIGS. 13 and 14 concerns the appearance or visual apparent observation only. The true structure of the whole organization is based upon the unique latticework-andentanglement combination explained by reference to FIG. 2 and the like as set forth hereinbefore.
  • a perforated non-woven textile web made from continuously extruded filaments produced by a wet spinning process, wherein the web consists essentially of alternately arranged continuous filaments of relatively linear portions (A) which are physically crosslinked to each other without the use of bonding agents at various portions along the length of said filaments to form a latticework structure, said filaments also have finely folded portions (8), wherein the finely folded portions are evenly distributed over the entire area of the web, the web having regularly arranged projections and perforations such that the filament portions (A) and (B) are entangled with each other at each of the projections to fix and reinforce the latticework structure, the web having an arrangement such that the web represents an infinite number of projections distributed geometrically over the whole surface of the web and the filaments being united with each other at these projeetions.
