The best chamois costs over $28. We sell the same IEnka woven & filled ones at $15 & $20. They are dimpled and have lots of tiny holes. It is really soft and ultra pliable, unlike cheap ones. Can be used both inside and outside of cars. Also create great results on indoor furniture, car models etc. Keep rinsing and its ready for use again. The chamois can last for 10 years.

A synthetic chamois fabric having superior strength, colour and performance is described, as is a method for its production. The fabric is woven from synthetic fibre-containing yarns, then desirably lubricated and subjected to a hydraulic face finishing process which serves to soften the fabric and increase its loft. The fabric is also desirably dyed and subjected to a pill-reduction treatment. The resulting fabric has a unique combination of wash fastness, durability (both in wearing and washing), hand, wicking, soil release, crease retention, dimensional stability, and wrinkle resistance, while retaining a feel similar to that of the conventional cotton product. The fabric also has low air permeability in combination with desirable thermal insulating properties. Absorbency and non stick characteristics enhanced by holes on both surfaces.

The invention relates to a light weight entangled non-woven fabric that has excellent strength in both the machine and cross direction and to a
process for producing it. In the fluid rearrangement and entangling of fibres to produce non-woven fabrics, the fibres are supported on a "grill" during entangling. In one embodiment the fabric comprises parallel entangled ribs with a substantially continuous array of fibres extending between the ribs.

During entangling the fibres are supported on a plain weave carrier belt having heavier wires or filaments in one direction and three to five times as many finer wires or filaments extending in the other direction. They are made from a starting web of carded fibres comprising at least 75% polyester or polyolefin staple fibres; they exhibit excellent strength in both the machine and cross direction.

Preferred polyolefin fibres are polyethylene and polypropylene fibres. The fabric is characterized by a repeating pattern of spaced, parallel, lines of raised regions of entangled fibres interconnected by an array of partially entangled fibres, said lines extending substantially transversely of said fabric. The raised regions of entangled fibre of one line are interconnected to raised regions of entangled fibre in an adjacent line, by spaced bundles of straight substantially paralleled fibre segments, said bundles being substantially parallel to one another and substantially perpendicular to said lines. Adjacent bundles and the lines of raised entangled fibre regions and partially entangled fibre arrays they interconnect and form apertures.

The ‘ENKA’ fabric of the registered invention is produced by a process which comprises:

Supporting a layer of fibres comprising at least 75% polyester or polyolefin staple fibres, having a basis weight of 0.3 to 1.5 oz/yd2. The starting web and fabric comprise 75% Celanese 310 1.5 denier, 11/8 inch staple polyester fibres and 25% ENKA 8172 1.5 denier, 11/4 inch rayon staple fibres. A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional fabric of the type which may be used in absorbent garments, dressings or the like involves the use of an apertured collector element which has a predetermined three-dimensional shape. The method involves positioning material adjacent to one side of the apertured collector element and developing a pressure differential between the one side of the apertured collector element and a second, opposite side to force the fabric material against the apertured collector element. The material, which has conformed to the shape of the collector element, is then solidified into its intended three-dimensional shape. Most preferably, fabrication from a fusible fibre non-woven fabric such as made from ENKA brand #1050, #1070 or #1045 fusible fibre, which are available from Johnson and Johnson Worldwide Absorbent Products, or a blend of Hollofil pulp and ENKA fibres which is available under the brand TDS from Johnson and Johnson Worldwide Absorbent Products.
