Non-woven fabric is a new generation of environmentally friendly material, with the advantages of good strength, breathable waterproof, environmental protection, flexibility, non-toxic and odorless, and low cost. Non-woven fabric has characteristics of water resistance, breathability, flexibility, non-flammability, non-toxicity, and rich colors. If the material is naturally decomposed outdoors, its longest lifespan is only 90 days, and it will decompose within 8 years indoors. When burned, it is non-toxic and harmless, thus not polluting the environment, and therefore it is environmentally friendly.

Functions Of Non-woven Fabric  

1.Medical and health non-woven fabric: surgical gowns, protective clothing, disinfection wrap, masks, diapers, household cleaning cloth, wiping cloth, wet wipes, magic towels, soft towel rolls, beauty products, sanitary napkins, and disposable hygiene fabrics, etc.
2.Home decoration non-woven fabric: wall coverings, tablecloths, bed sheets, bed covers, etc.
3.Clothing non-woven fabric: lining fabric, fusible interlining, padding, shaping cotton, various synthetic leather base fabrics, etc.
4.Industrial non-woven fabric: roofing waterproofing materials and asphalt shingles, reinforcing materials, polishing materials, filtering materials, insulation materials, cement packaging bags, geotextiles, wrapping fabrics, etc.
5.Automotive non-woven fabric: waste spun thermal felt, shock-absorbing felt, convertible tops, seat liners, carpets, door linings, automotive filter cores, molded seat cushions, etc.
6.Agricultural non-woven fabric: crop protection fabric, seedling fabric, irrigation fabric, thermal insulation curtains, etc.
7.Packaging non-woven fabric: composite cement bags, box and bag lining fabrics, packaging base linings, quilted fabrics, storage bags, and mobile jacquard box and bag fabrics, etc.
8.Other non-woven fabrics: space cotton, thermal insulation and soundproofing materials, oil-absorbing felt, cigarette filter tips, tea bag packaging, shoe materials, etc.

What are the classifications and characteristics of nonwoven fabric?

The fibers used in non-woven fabric production are mainly polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). In addition, there are nylon (PA), viscose fibers, acrylic fibers, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). According to application requirements, non-woven fabric can be divided into disposable and durable types, and according to production technology, it can be divided into:
1.Spunlace non-woven fabric: Spunlace technology is a process of spraying high-pressure micro-water streams onto one or more layers of fiber webs, causing the fibers to interlace with each other, thus strengthening the fiber web to a certain degree.
2.Thermal bonded non-woven fabric: Thermal bonded non-woven fabric refers to adding fiber or powder-shaped hot-melt adhesive reinforcement materials into the fiber web, and then heating, melting, cooling, and solidifying the fiber web into a fabric.
3.Wet-laid nonwoven fabric: Wet-laid nonwoven fabric involves opening up and loosening fiber raw materials in water, mixing different fiber raw materials to create a fiber suspension, and transporting the suspension to a web-forming mechanism. The fibers are then formed into a wet web and solidified into fabric.
4.Spunbond nonwoven fabric: Spunbond nonwoven fabric is produced by extruding and stretching polymer into continuous filaments, laying the filaments into a web, and then bonding the web using self-adhesion, heat bonding, chemical bonding, or mechanical methods.
5.Meltblown nonwoven fabric: Meltblown nonwoven fabric is produced through the following process: feeding polymer into the system, melting and extruding the polymer into fibers, cooling the fibers, forming the fibers into a web, and then solidifying the web into fabric.
6.Needle-punched nonwoven fabric: Needle-punched nonwoven fabric is a dry-laid nonwoven fabric that is solidified using the piercing action of needles on a loose fiber web.
7.Stitch-bonded nonwoven fabric: Stitch-bonded nonwoven fabric is a dry-laid nonwoven fabric that is reinforced using a stitch structure on a fiber web, yarn layer, non-textile material (such as plastic films, plastic metal foils), or their combination.
8.Hydrophilic nonwoven fabric: This type of nonwoven fabric is mainly used in the production of medical and health materials to achieve a better feel and to avoid skin irritation. Examples include sanitary napkins and panty liners that utilize the hydrophilic function of the fabric.
