With the rapid development of the nonwovens industry, thick spunlace nonwovens, as an emerging high-performance material, have attracted more and more attention from the market. It not only has the advantages of traditional nonwovens, but also demonstrates unique performance in a variety of fields, becoming the preferred material for many industrial and consumer products.
Thick spunlace nonwovens are nonwovens made of natural or synthetic fibers through spunlace technology. Unlike traditional textile fabrics, nonwovens do not need to go through processes such as weaving and knitting, but directly combine the fibers mechanically, thermally or chemically. Spunlace nonwovens use high-pressure water flow to entangle the fibers together, which gives the fabric a higher density and strength.
Thick spunlace nonwovens have greater thickness and durability than conventional nonwovens. It is usually composed of multiple layers of fibers. Through the improved spunlace process, the fabric is made more compact and strong, and can withstand greater tension and use pressure. Therefore, this nonwoven fabric has been widely used in many products that require durability, softness and water absorption.
The production process of thick spunlace nonwovens mainly includes the following steps:
When producing thick spunlace nonwovens, high-quality fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, cotton, wood pulp, etc. are usually selected. These raw materials have excellent water absorption, strength and flexibility.
The pre-treated fibers are evenly laid on the conveyor belt to form a thin fiber web.
The fiber web is impacted by high-pressure water flow, so that the fibers are intertwined to form a stable nonwoven fabric. The pressure of the water flow and the time control of the spunlace are crucial to the quality of the final product.
The nonwoven fabric after spunlace needs to be dried to ensure that it maintains a stable shape and size. At this time, the thickness and softness of the product can also be controlled by adjusting the process parameters.
Finally, the producer may post-process the nonwoven fabric, such as coating, dyeing or adding special functions (such as antibacterial, antistatic, etc.) to meet specific application requirements.
Thick spunlace nonwovens have many superior properties, making them an ideal choice in a variety of applications:
Due to its special spunlace process, thick spunlace nonwovens have strong tensile strength and abrasion resistance, and are suitable for environments that require high-strength materials.
Thick spunlace nonwovens usually have excellent water absorption and are suitable for a variety of absorbent products such as wet wipes, cleaning cloths and medical supplies.
Despite its thickness, due to the inter-fiber structure, thick spunlace nonwovens maintain good softness and provide a very comfortable user experience.
This nonwoven has good air permeability, which can effectively reduce the dampness inside the product and is suitable for products that require breathability.
Many thick spunlace nonwovens are made of degradable materials, meet environmental protection requirements, and adapt to the trend of green development.
Due to its unique properties, thick spunlace nonwovens have been widely used in many industries:
Thick spunlace nonwovens are widely used in medical textiles such as surgical towels, wound dressings, disposable clothing, masks, etc. Its good air permeability and water absorption make it the preferred material for these high-hygiene products.
Thick spunlace nonwovens are also widely used in the field of household cleaning. This material is often used in daily household cleaning products such as wet wipes, wipes and floor cleaning cloths.
Thick spunlace nonwovens are also used in car seats, interiors and filter materials. Its durability and comfort make it an ideal choice for automotive accessories.
Thick spunlace nonwovens are often used in personal care products such as baby diapers and feminine sanitary napkins. These products require nonwovens to have high water absorption and comfort, and thick spunlace nonwovens just meet these needs.
Due to its strength and durability, thick spunlace nonwovens are also used in the packaging of some high-end products, such as cosmetics, electronic products, etc.
As a high-end material with excellent performance, thick spunlace nonwovens have gradually been widely used in many industries. Its high strength, good water absorption, softness and comfort, and environmental protection make it an ideal material choice in the medical, home, automotive and other industries. With the continuous development of technology, the production process of thick spunlace nonwovens will continue to improve, and its application prospects will be broader. For manufacturers, understanding and mastering the characteristics and advantages of this material will be the key to gaining market competitiveness.
