Let’s talk about Silbon paper again!

This is my own research and investigation.

I have not written about Silbon paper yet.

It is

The origin of the name “Silbon paper”.

I checked the web and books by myself, but I could not

find the origin of the name at all.

Then I had an epiphany!
Maybe it is not “Silbon” but “Silbon Paper”.
It is an abbreviation of a letter like “Sil〇〇〇bon 〇〇〇”.
I thought it might be “Silvon”, and I looked it up from there.

Then I found out that
I found some information on the web.

Fiber Engineering Editorial Board
Document “Recent Specialized Synthetic Fiber Materials (for Clothing and Household Use)
　Reprinted from “1993-1994

The URL of the document is here.

On page 50 of the second page of this document,

we found the words “SILFINE BONLOFT” by TOYOBO.

I thought it might be “Silbon” for short, so I looked it up again.

I found “SILFNE BONLOFT” in the nylon filament section of this document.

I found out that “SILFINE” is a man-made fiber.
Next, I looked up the word “BONLOFT” and found
I found another document on the Web.

The name of the material is unknown.

Processing by chemical fiber properties
There is a process called “indentation method” among the processed yarns

with high crassness, and it is called “indentation method”.
I found the word Bonloft in the trademark!

To summarize the above

Silfine -> man-made fiber

Bonloft→Pressing method of chemical fiber
