Highly Resilient Dimensionally Recoverable Nonwoven MaterialA microcrepted wet laid nonwoven with recoverable stretch suitable for apparel applications such as waistbands and interlinings. The microcreping and heat setting improves dimensional stability after washing drying cycles, minimizes shrinkage and substantially eliminates the surface wrinkling phenomenon, known in the industry as "alligato ring", associated with wet laid and other apparel nonwovens.
