Abstract

The present invention relates to a process and equipment for manufacturing a non-woven fabric provided with optimum softness and resistance characteristics, as well as attractive appearance. Particularly, the invention relates to a process and equipment for manufacturing non-woven fabrics (NWF) both of the spun-lace type, either spunbonded and carded (hydro-entangled NWF), and the non-woven fabrics thereby obtained by means of hydro-embossing and thermo-embossing treatments.
