The article presents a study which evaluates the basic thermal insulation properties of nonwoven blanket materials made from reprocessed PET/cotton. Nonwoven thermal blankets are made from different blends of waste polyester fibers and greige cotton. Reuse of these waste products is beneficial for both the environment and the economy. In the discussed study, thermal conductivity and heat transmittance of samples blankets were measured by using a Steady-State Heat Flow meter FOX 200, manufactured by LaserComp Corp. The results show that nonwoven blankets provide better protection against heat loss in comparison to other commercially available blankets. |
