Non Woven

What is Non Woven

 

 

Non woven or non-woven fabric is a fabric-like material made from staple fibre and long fibres, bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted.

 

Benefits of Non Woven

 

Soft quality of the fabric
Non woven is known for its high softness. As it is made up of fine fibers, the finished product that is created is soft and comfortable. This feature makes it a widely-used fabric in the fashion domain. Some of the specific types of nonwoven fabrics, such as spunlace fabric, are so gentle to the skin that they have high utility in skin care products like facial masks and wet wipes. The materials that are used in the preparation of non woven are instrumental in ensuring their softness.

 

Breathable quality
One of the main highlights of non woven is the high breathability. The porous nature of the fiber enhances the circulation of air. This makes it easy to wash and dry the fabric in no time. The fabrics that are made of Polyethylene film (PE), as well as Polypropylene, spun bonds are known to allow air to pass, which enhances the comfort level. The high breathability of the fabric enhances its applicability as it can be commonly used for making gloves, aprons, and caps. Furthermore, the water-repellant nature of the fiber can be kept dry and free from unnecessary moisture content.

 

Acts as a vital bacterial barrier
The presence of bacteria is regarded to be one of the major issues while using fabrics. However, while using non woven, there is no risk of the presence of bacterial agents. Polypropylene, which is used for making the fabric, is known to be a chemically passive material. This feature eliminates the possibility of attack by bacteria or insects. As the fabric is immune to such harmful elements, its strength is not compromised in any way. The non-moldy and water-removing attributes of the fiber enhance its safety and make it a useful material that is used in hospitals.

 

Robust physical properties
One of the key highlights of any fiber relates to its innate properties. The property of a non woven is what makes it versatile and unique in its own rights. As the fabric is made by entangling filaments or fiber, it is much stronger as compared to other standard staple fibers. The strength of the fiber is non-directional in nature, implying that the strength is similar in both horizontal and vertical directions.

 

Sustainability dimension
A vital advantage of using non woven is related to the sustainable and eco-friendly nature of the material. For most non woven, the raw material that is utilized is Polypropylene. As the chemical structure of the substance is not very stable, it can easily be decomposed and degenerated. So even if the fabric is used in abundance, it can enter the next stage of the environmental cycle without giving rise to any toxic implications. A shopping bag that is made using non woven can be entirely composed within three months without adversely affecting the environment.

The Raw Materials Used In Non Woven
Tissue Paper Manufacturing Raw Material

 

Animal fibers Sheep's wool

 

There are many types of animal wool and hairs that are used in the textile industries to produce things. But high importance is given to sheep's wool to produce material non woven. In general, sheep's wool is at a high price, so it is collectively used in the form of cuttings or reclaimed wool. However, there is provenance imposing restrictions on the use of sheep's wool based on their variations in the impurities and the quality of reclaimed wood, as well as the physical and chemical properties.

 

Vegetable fibers

 

Cellulose is one of the most important vegetable fiber constituents, which is hygroscopic and hydrophilic. Apart from this, there are several other substances involved in vegetable fibers that can affect their properties. Another important vegetable fiber is cotton, which is often used for the production of material non woven.

 

Man-made synthetic polymers fibers

 

It has been identified that the field of non woven bonded fabrics is very broad that includes different types of existing fibers to some extent. In certain areas of non woven bonded fabrics, specific fiber types are becoming predominant. For instance, the major fiber types are polyamide 6.6 (Nylon) and polyamide 6 (Perlon).

 

What Are The Types Of Non Woven?

 

1

Spunlace non wovens: This non woven material has great use for medical non woven, non woven filter fabric, facial mask fabric, wet wipe fabric, and others.

2

Pulp air-laid non wovens: This type of non wovens is also known as dry paper or dustless paper non wovens. At first, it tries to open the wood pulp fiber board with the use of air-laid technology into a single fiber state. After that, it makes the fiber agglomerate on the net curtain with the use of the airflow method to consolidate the fiber web into the material cloth.

3

Heat-bonded non woven: The heat-bonded non woven uses different processes for manufacturing that includes the addition of sticky or fibrous reinforcement material into the fiber network. After that, reinforce the fiber network into cloth material through a cooling or heating process.

4

Spunbond non wovens: The process of spunbond non wovens includes stretching and extruding the polymer to create a continuous filament and laying the filament into the web. After that, the web gets processed into the non woven via their thermal bonding, own bonding, mechanical reinforcement methods, or chemical bonding.

5

Wet-laid non woven: The wet non woven process includes the fibrous raw material opening in the aqueous medium into single fibers and mixing different fiber raw materials to create a fibrous suspension slurry. After that, the suspended slurry is transported to a mesh-forming mechanism. Next, the laying fibers are in a wet state to create a cloth material.

6

Stitched non woven : This is a kind of dry non woven. The process used in the manufacturing involves a warp knitted loop structure to reinforce non-woven materials, yarn layer, the fiber web etc., to create a non woven.

7

Acupuncture non wovens: It is a kind of dry non woven where needle puncture is used to reinforce the fluffy fiber into the cloth.
If you want the raw materials of non woven for you, then you can contact your nearby service provider and collect them as per your requirements.

 

 

Uses Of Non Woven

Disposable non woven are essentially made for one time use; but some, such as dust cloths, may be laundered and reused a few times.

 

General applications include personal hygiene products, such as diapers and sanitary napkins; medical products such as surgical gowns and drapes; surgical and industrial masks, bandages, wipes and towels; bibs and even costumes for special events.

 

Durable non woven have wide applications. Consumer durables include both household goods and home furnishings, such as for draperies, furniture upholstery, mattress padding, towels, table cloths, blankets and carpet backing and clothing and apparel, such as for caps, linings, interlinings, interfacings and the reinforcement of other fabrics.

 

Many industrial uses include filters, insulation, packing materials, roadbed stabilization sheeting or road-building materials geo-textiles and roofing products.

Q: How do you sterilize non-woven fabric?

A: Hydrogen Peroxide plasma.
Ethylene oxide.
Pressure Steam.

Q: What is the technology of non woven?

A: Heavier and thicker nonwovens are produced by aerodynamic techniques, hydrodynamic techniques or the carding and needling process. Very thin fibres for nonwovens can be produced by split fibre technology. Bicomponent fibres are processed into a non woven and this is followed by a splitting process.

Q: Is non woven recycled?

A: It encompasses that all non-woven products contain 50-70% recycled material in their composition. It reduces the impact on the environment thanks to the use of materials of recycled origin and waste of polypropylene for its production.

Q: What is the importance of non woven in daily life?

A: The creation of nonwovens that kill dust mites in bedding, repel dirt, and contain antimicrobial qualities. Wall covering nonwovens are easier to handle than traditional wall paper as the fabric has no seam separation and is simple to remove.

Q: Where did non woven come from?

A: Nonwoven materials are made from short and long fibres that are bonded together; these usually have bonds formed either mechanically or chemically. This formation process, whereby the fibres are bonded instead of manually secured together, helps create a very distinct material that provides numerous unique features.

Q: How many types of non woven are there?

A: The fibers used in producing Non woven are mainly polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). In addition, there are nylon (PA), viscose fiber, acrylic fiber, polyethene fiber (HDPE), and chlorine fibre (PVC).

Q: What does non woven feel like?

A: It is a lightweight, tough yet elastic fabric, breathable, soft, durable and sheds far fewer fibers than other fabrics. It repels water and liquids, has a high absorption capacity, and is resistant to high temperatures. In addition, it is easy to care for as it can be ironed, dry cleaned and is wrinkle resistant.
