Nonwovens have proven to be an innovative, cost-effective and sometimes unexpected solution to numerous business challenges and needs. The wide range of raw materials and production processes available to producers, coupled with the fabric’s versatility, allows for fabrics tailored specifically for a variety of applications. Many nonwovens have a number of properties that can be combined to meet unique requirements such as strength, breathability, softness or chemical resistance. Some nonwovens are even coated to add new functions such as water repellency or anti-static, and can be further enhanced by a variety of finishing treatments.
Generally speaking, there are two main types of nonwovens: spunlace and spunbond. Spunlace nonwovens are produced by combining or spinning polymers and forming the fibers into a mat or sheet using wet and dry methods. The mats are then thermally or resin bonded, which makes them more durable than their counterparts. Spunbonds are typically made from a single polymer, and the fibers are either spun or extruded to create a continuous web that is then either wet or dry bonded.
The type of nonwovens used depends on the product and application. The two most common are polypropylene and polyester (PET). Polypropylene is an inexpensive, flexible, strong and lightweight nonwoven. It is commonly used for disposable medical and sanitary products, clothing and upholstery, battery separator materials, wiping materials and more. PET, on the other hand, is a more expensive material that can be processed into a wide range of products due to its unique characteristics such as strength and elasticity.
Both of these materials can be made into various types of mesh nonwovens. For example, meltblown, which is often made from a combination of PP and PE with extremely fine fiber diameters, is used in mask filter materials to provide high bacterial filtration efficiency. Spunbond, which is usually a blend of PP and PET, can be post-treated with several different functional properties such as hydrophilic, extra soft, and anti-static.
There are other types of dry-laid nonwovens as well such as needle-punched and needle-punched PP/PE. These are both made by puncturing the polymer with thorn needles or a similar device to form a fluffy fiber matrix which is then either thermally bonded or wet-bonded through a spray process. The resulting fabrics are primarily used for a variety of wiping and cleaning products such as batteries, automotive components, glass fibers, and wipers.
Another dry-laid nonwoven is the airlaid process which can be wet or dry bonded. Wet-laid, also called wet laid mats, use wet-chopped heavy denier fibers with a resin in the 6 to 20 micrometer diameter range, while dry-bonded or flame attenuated mats or batts are spray bonded with either wet or dry adhesives such as LDPE or EVA to create a durable nonwoven.
POLYPROPYLENE SPUNLACE MESH CLOTH NON-WOVEN FABRIC
Quality Standard: Chinese National Standard (GB)
Features: Strong degreasing, soft texture
Main uses: Multi-purpose industrial wipes, workshop wipes, mechanical wipes, equipment wipes
Polypropylene spunlace mesh cloth is a non-woven fabric made from polypropylene fibers that are mechanically entwined together to form a strong, durable material. It is often used in a variety of applications, including filtration, wipes, and medical supplies. The non-woven nature of the fabric means that it is made directly from fibers, without the need for spinning or weaving. This makes it a quick and cost-effective material to produce, and it can be customized to meet specific needs and requirements. Polypropylene spunlace mesh cloth is also known for its high strength and versatility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
