preserving the fabric 39 s loft and shape during shipment and use the testing also demonstrated that the invented process reduced the amount of false loft in the fabric false loft is indicated by the percent of loft lost between the initial loft and the loft at the applied load as shown in the table 1 the samples performed superior to the control exhibiting less false loft moreover it is noted that the improvements in fabric resiliency and false loft was achieved at substantially higher production rates table 2 is the tensile strength of the control and the three sample fabrics identified in table 1 table 2 illustrates a great disparity between tensile strength in the cross direction and machine direction for the control sample with strength in the machine direction being significantly less than that in the cross direction in comparison tensile strength in machine direction for each of the drafted samples was substantially improved from that of the control specifically sample 1 having the same number of laps as the control provides and increased tensile strength from of load of 1 33 lbs to 2 78 lbs samples 2 and 3 each demonstrate an even more dramatic increase in machine direction tensile strength referring to table 3 a control high loft nonwoven fabric and two sample fabrics are compared wherein each of the fabrics had a weight of 1 0 oz ft 2 and a weight percent blend of 20 4 dpf low melt binder fiber 30 25 dpf pet and 50 15 dpf pet the samples were processed with different number of laps with the control first sample and.
