Send EmailNonwoven fabric is a textile structure made directly from fibers without the traditional weaving or knitting processes. Instead of yarns, fibers are bonded together using mechanical, thermal, or chemical methods.
Key Features:
Fast and cost-effective production
Lightweight and porous
Can be disposable or durable
Customizable for filtration, hygiene, medical, and industrial use
Common Applications:
Medical: masks, gowns, bandages
Hygiene: diapers, sanitary pads
Filtration: air and water filters
Packaging: shopping bags, protective covers
Agriculture, automotive, construction
| Type | Bonding Method | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Spunbond | Thermally bonded filaments | Masks, packaging, crop covers |
| Spunlace (Hydroentangled) | High-pressure water jets | Wet wipes, medical textiles |
| Meltblown | Microfibers via air-blown extrusion | Surgical masks, filters |
| Airlaid | Air-formed fiber web | Hygiene products, cleaning wipes |
| Wetlaid | Water-suspended fiber deposition | Medical drapes, specialty filters |
| Needle-punched | Mechanically bonded via needles | Geotextiles, carpet backing, insulation |
| Chemical bonded | Adhesive binders | Cleaning cloths, disposable medical items |
| Thermal bonded | Heat and pressure | Hygiene layers, packaging sheets |
Drylaid: Carding or airlaying fibers
