Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a microfibre material and to a microfibre material manufactured by means of hydraulic entanglement. The method comprises to form a fibre web containing microfibres and, thereafter, to subject the fibre web to hydraulic entanglement. At least a majority of the microfibres are provided in the form of microfibres having been streched to orientation and having shell surfaces substantially completely covered by a hydropholic lubricating layer. The method further comprises to disperse the microfibres in a foamed aqueous medium before the forming by means of the hydrophilic lubricating layer in interaction with the foamed aqueous medium in order to form a substantially homogenous fibre dispersion, wherein the microfibres in a straightened condition have a fibre thickness smaller than 0.5 denier and a fibre length larger than 5 mm both in the fibre dispersion and in the microfibre material. In the microfibre material a majority of the microfibres are streched to orientation, exhibit a cross-sectional shape which substantially can be described by an arc or several successive arcs, and are uniformly distributed in a x, y-plane of the microfibre material.
