Abstract

The invention relates to a clothing for processing textile fibers, with a clothing carrier ( 1 ) and clothing tips ( 2 ), with the clothing tips ( 2 ) being formed by wire hooks ( 4 ). The wire hooks ( 4 ) are pushed through the clothing carrier ( 1 ) in a punching process. The clothing carrier ( 1 ) is a random, paneled nonwoven formed from continuous fibers or staple fibers ( 10 ) that has been consolidated by needling and impregnated with a polymer ( 11 ) having a defined specific weight per unit area and a functional layer ( 12 ) applied to a side of the clothing carrier ( 1 ) facing toward the clothing tips ( 2 ). The polymer ( 1 ) has a proportion by weight of 20 to 70 percent of the specific weight per unit area of the random nonwoven.
