Strategies for Minimizing Biological Contamination Spoilage of Nonwoven Fabrics

摘要

Non-woven fabrics (NWF) form part of an extremely diverse and versatile industry, with almost endless end-use possibilities. The potential for biological colonization is, therefore, equally infinite, as are any preventative strategies which can be employed to prevent such colonization and subsequent spoilage. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the many potential sources of microbiological contamination, and to identify where and how control can be exercised to minimize spoilage potential.
