For application as surface layer of PU composites for the future, puncture resistance and inflame retarding property are both considered. Therefore, in this preliminary study, we discussed effect of Nylon fiber fineness and hot pressing on tensile, tear and puncture resistance properties of fiber composite composed of inflame retarding nonwoven and Nylon/PET nonwoven. Result shows that, Fiber composite with finer Nylon fibers exhibited higher tensile strength and puncture resistances. Hot pressing decreased tensile strength, tear strength and puncture resistance by 5-mm needle penetration, but increased puncture resistance by 2-mm needle penetration.
