How to use nonwoven fabric

First you need to know what is nonwoven fabric?

The exact name of nonwoven fabric should be nonwoven fabric, or nonwoven fabric. Because it is a kind of fabric formed without spinning and weaving, just the textile staple fibers or filaments are oriented or randomly arranged to form a fiber network structure, and then reinforced by mechanical, thermal bonding or chemical methods. Nonwoven fabric breaks through the traditional textile principle, and has a short process, fast production speed, high yield, low cost, wide range of uses, raw material sources and so on.

Nonwoven advantages and disadvantages:

Nonwoven fabrics have many advantages: 1) aeration 2) filtration 3) heat preservation 4) water absorption 5) waterproof 6) stretch 7) not fluffy 8) feel good, soft 9) light 10) elasticity, restorable 11) no direction of the fabric 12) compared with the textile fabrics of the production of high production, production speed 13) low price, can be mass produced! etc.

The disadvantages are: 1) less strength and durability than textile fabric 2) cannot be washed like other fabrics 3) the fibers are arranged in a certain direction, so it is easy to split at right angles, etc. Therefore, recent improvements in the production method have been focused on the following. Therefore, recent improvements in production methods have been focused on preventing splitting.

Its main uses can be roughly divided into:

(1) medical, health nonwoven: surgical gowns, protective clothing, disinfection cloth, masks, diapers, civilian wipes, wipes, wet wipes, magic towels, soft towel rolls, beauty products, sanitary napkins, sanitary pads, and disposable sanitary cloths, etc.;

The following is some nonwovens development forecast information for reference:

A, nonwovens textile industry in recent years has made great development --

As of 2010, the world's nonwovens consumption has reached 10,000 tons. In 1970, its consumption was only 400,000 tons, and by 2007, its consumption is expected to reach 4 million tons.

Nonwoven manufacturers are mainly concentrated in the United States (41% of the world), Western Europe accounted for 30%, Japan accounted for 8%, China's production accounted for only 3.5% of the world's production, but its consumption of 17.5% of the world. It is expected that by the year, China's production will reach % of the world's output, and its consumption will increase to 21% of the world.

At present, man-made fibers still dominate the production of nonwovens, and this situation will not change significantly until 2007. Worldwide, 63% of the fibers used in nonwovens production are polypropylene, 23% are polyester, 8% are viscose, 2% are acrylic fibers, 1.5% are polyamide, and the remaining 3% are other fibers.

In recent years, nonwoven fabrics in the health of absorbent materials, medicine, transportation, footwear textile materials on the application of the volume has increased significantly.

Two, nonwoven production and consumption

Global consumption of nonwovens in 1983 for 800,000 tons, and to 1985 when the growth of 110 tons in 1988 for 1.4 million tons in 1998, the global consumption of nonwovens reached 2.4 million tons, is expected to 2005, its consumption can reach 3.7 million tons.

The consumption of man-made fibers used in various textiles was 16.9 million tons in 1983, grew to 20.4 million tons in 1988, and reached 30.4 million tons in 1998, and is expected to reach 37 million tons in 2005 and 38.3 million tons in 2007.

Man-made fibers in the production of nonwovens consumption growth rate is expected to 2005, its consumption growth rate can reach 10%, by 2007 when it will reach 10.4%. Part of the reason for such rapid growth in consumption in the nonwovens industry is the increase in ancillary industries in China, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.

Three, nonwovens affect the growth rate of factors -

All the factors affecting the growth of man-made fibers can be more or less on the man-made fibers as raw materials for textiles have a certain impact, which has the greatest impact on the nonwoven textiles.

Population growth factors have a smaller impact on nonwovens than on other textiles used in apparel. However, if we consider the important application of nonwovens in baby diapers, population growth is also an important influencing factor.

The partial replacement of natural fibers has a greater impact on textiles, but not on nonwovens, which are largely dependent on man-made fibers.

Development of man-made fibers in commerce and specialized applications for nonwovens: The trade in microfibers, composite fibers, biodegradable fibers and new types of polyester fibers has gained ground as a result of the establishment of international economic treaties. This has had a significant impact on nonwovens, but not on apparel and knitted textiles.

Substitution of textiles and other supplies: this includes substitution by nonwoven textiles, textiles for knitting, plastic films, polyurea foams, wood pulp, leather, etc. This is determined by the cost and performance requirements that the product needs to have.

Introduction of nonwoven characteristics

Nonwoven fabric is a nonwoven fabric, it is the direct use of polymer slices, staple fibers or filaments will be fibers through the airflow or mechanical into a network, and then through the hydroentanglement, needle punching, or hot rolled reinforcement, and finally after finishing to form a non-woven fabric. With a soft, breathable and flat structure of the new fiber products, the advantages are no fiber chips, strong, durable, silky soft, and there is a cotton feel, and cotton woven fabrics compared to the nonwoven bags easy to form, and cheap.

In terms of environmental protection, most of the current use of non-woven raw materials is polypropylene, while the raw material of the plastic bag is polyethylene, the two substances, although the name is similar, but in the chemical structure of the chemical structure is very different. The chemical molecular structure of polyethylene has a fairly strong stability, extremely difficult to degrade, so plastic bags need 300 years to decompose; while the chemical structure of polypropylene is not strong, the molecular chain can be easily broken, which can be effectively degraded, and in a non-toxic form to enter the next step of the environmental cycle, a non-woven shopping bag can be completely decomposed within 90 days. And non-woven shopping bags can be reused more than 10 times, the degree of pollution of the environment after disposal is only 10% of the plastic bag
