BOMBINO Nomex felts (aramid felts) are used on Textile compactor felts or calendering machines in Textile Dyeing houses. Bombinobelts compacting felts are used in the compacting machines to facilitate the pre-shrinkage and stabilization of knitted fabrics (this is why they can be called shrinking felts) and improve the fabric handle. The shrinkage required (between 2 and 10%) is mechanically given on both sides of the fabric by two consecutive endless felts using temperature (usually between 110C & 160C) and steam pressure.
