Spunlace Nonwoven Fabrics

Spunlace Nonwoven Fabrics are a type of nonwoven textile fabrics that are produced through a mechanical process which entangles fibers together. The process is called jet-entangled, water entangled, hydro-entangled or spun-lacing, and it can be used to produce both staple fiber and short-fiber nonwovens. In general, the fibers are wet-laid in a sheet which is then bonded together by using jets of water. Spunlace nonwovens are commonly known as wet wipes, and they are also used in a variety of industrial applications.

Spunlace nonwovens are a great alternative to traditional nonwovens like spunbond and SMS due to their softness, durability, and breathability. Additionally, they are biodegradable and sustainable. These attributes make them perfect for use in personal care products, such as wet wipes and baby wipes. They are also a popular choice for medical applications, such as surgical gowns and protective clothing.

Nonwovens can be made from a wide variety of raw materials, including polypropylene, polyester, nylon and cellulose. The most common raw materials are viscose, woodpulp and cotton fiber. Viscose fiber is created by extracting and reshaping cellulose molecules from plant material, such as wood pulp or cotton linters, and converting them to a liquid through alkalization, aging, sulfonation and sizing.

To produce a nonwoven, the raw materials are mixed and formed into a web through wet-laid or dry-laid techniques. The web is then consolidated into a solid by either mechanical means or through thermal bonding, which provides strength and structure to the fabric. The final product can then be cut and shaped to create the desired product.

The advantage of this process is that it does not require any binders, and the strength comes from the individual fibers. This makes the finished product resistant to stretching and tearing, which increases its wear resistance. It also has a high tensile strength and can withstand many washings. Additionally, it has strong hygroscopic properties and can absorb water rapidly.

Another benefit of the fabric is its low shrinkage and high permeability. This gives it the ability to transport moisture and heat throughout the fabric. It can even be washed in hot water, without losing its integrity. The material is also resistant to abrasion, which means it will remain durable even after repeated washings.

Cotton spunlace is a very versatile nonwoven that can be used in a wide range of applications. This fabric is environmentally friendly, as it is made from 100% organic cotton and meets Social Responsibility requirements. It is a popular choice for wet wipes, as it is gentle on skin and has a high moisture absorption capacity. It is also biodegradable, making it a great choice for disposables and personal care products.

The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a spunlace nonwoven production line is its versatility. A good quality machine will be able to process different types of fibers and can meet a variety of production demands.
