Abstract

Textile composite mills generate waste during the production process and amongst this waste, fabric waste is most common. Hence recycling was carried out to convert the saleable fabric waste to useable value-added products and also to avoid environmental pollution. To reduce the noise level and to improve the sound absorbency, a three-layer sound absorbing material was produced in this research, by using PVA (polyvinyl acetate) treated base fabric, non-woven material in the middle with combination of cotton fabric waste and mattress foam and top fabric treated with fire retardant finish. Thirteen different nonwoven product combinations are prepared with different proportions of cotton fabric waste and mattress foam percentages by using Box Behnken experimental design. Properties such as thickness, areal density, air permeability and thermal conductivity and their relation with sound absorbent coefficient at different frequency ranges are measured using standard methods. The increase in thickness results in increase in sound absorption properties of non-woven product. The sample comprising of 79% mattress foam and 21% cotton fabric waste with 45mm thickness resulted in the optimum sound absorption coefficient in the mid-to-high frequency ranges. In order to improve the performance of non-woven product, the base fabric was treated with PVA and top fabric with fire retardant finish. The properties like tensile strength, water repellency, air permeability, extensibility, fabric stiffness was also tested for base fabric and it was found that 75% PVA treated base fabric gives good results and is more suitable for acoustic purposes.
