Merging of two or more substances into a larger substance, i.e., coalesced filaments.
Industry:Textiles
In polymer manufacture, linkage of the various stages of polymerization so that materials flow without interruption from the addition of raw materials to delivery of the finished polymer from the system. Extrusion as film, chip or fiber may be linked to a continuous polymerization line. Because there is no break in the process while the transition from low molecular weight to high occurs, multiple stage reaction vessels may be required and accurate process control is critical.
Industry:Textiles
Heavy functional and ornamental floor coverings consisting of pile yarns or fibers and a backing system. They may be tufted or woven.
