Nonwoven Fabric

What is a nonwoven fabric?

Nonwoven fabric, also known as non-woven fabric, needle-punched cotton, needle-punched nonwoven fabric, etc.,

It is produced by polyester fiber, polyester fiber (abbreviated as PET) material, and made by the needle-punching process, which can make different thickness, feel, hardness, etc.

The nonwoven fabric has the characteristics of moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, light, flame retardant, non-toxic and tasteless, low price, recyclable, etc.

It can be used in different industries, such as sound insulation, heat insulation, electric heaters, masks, clothing, medical, filling materials, etc.

Features of nonwoven fabric：

The nonwoven fabric has no warp and weft threads, is very easy to cut and sew, and is light and easy to shape, so it is popular among craft enthusiasts.

Because it is a fabric formed without spinning and weaving, it is only textile short fibers or filaments arranged in a directional or random way to form a fiber network structure, and then reinforced by mechanical, thermal, or chemical methods.

It is not made of one by one yarn interwoven and braided together, but the fibers are directly bonded together by physical methods, so when you get the sticky weigh in your clothes, you will find that it is impossible to draw a single thread.

Nonwoven fabric breaks through the traditional textile principle and has the characteristics of short process flow, fast production rate, high yield, low cost, wide application, and many sources of raw materials.

Relationship between nonwovens and spunbond fabrics

Spunbond Nonwoven Fabric

Spunbond and nonwoven fabrics are subordinate to each other. There are many production processes for the manufacture of nonwoven fabrics, among which spunbond is one of the nonwoven production processes (including spunbond, meltblown, hot-rolled and hydroentanglement, most of the nonwoven fabrics on the market now are produced by spunbond)

According to the composition of nonwoven fabrics, there are polyester, polypropylene, nylon, spandex, acrylic, etc.;

different compositions will have very different styles of nonwoven fabrics.

As for spunbond cloth, it usually refers to polyester spunbond and polypropylene spunbond; and the styles of these two cloths are very close to each other and can only be distinguished by high-temperature testing.

Spunbond Nonwoven

Nonwoven fabric is a kind of nonwoven fabric, which is a non-woven fabric formed by directly using polymer slices, short fibers or filaments to form fibers into a web by airflow or machinery, then by hydroentanglement, needling, or hot rolling reinforcement, and finally by finishing.

With soft, breathable and flat structure of new fiber products, the advantage is that it does not produce fiber chips, strong, durable, silky soft, but also a kind of reinforcing material, and there is the feeling of cotton, and compared with cotton woven products, non-woven bags are easy to form, and the cost is cheap.
