The uses of non-woven fabric Product information       21/04/2023

Non-woven fabric is a type of fabric created by binding natural or synthetic fibers together without going through traditional weaving or sewing processes. Instead, the fibers are bonded using methods such as heat pressing, pressure, or the use of chemicals or mechanical force.

There are many ways to classify non-woven fabrics, but the main classifications used are:

• By production method: produced using two main methods, mechanical bonding and chemical bonding.
• By structure: solid, mesh, fluffy, and needle-punched.
• By application: medical non-woven fabric, industrial non-woven fabric, agricultural non-woven fabric, and household non-woven fabric.

The uses of non-woven fabric in daily life

• In the medical industry: medical bandages, medical equipment, face masks, medical paper bags, waterproof fabric in mattresses. With its outstanding properties, non-woven fabric is an important material in the medical industry and is widely used in various medical products.
• In the food industry: food packaging, paper towels, food filtration, hygiene, and cleaning, food tray packaging. With features like durability, thermal resistance, good waterproofing, and good air permeability, non-woven fabric has become a popular choice in the food industry for packaging and product protection.
• In the textile industry: lingerie and swimwear linings, interior decoration, protective clothing, dyeing and weaving, bags, and shoes. Non-woven fabric is used due to its versatility, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness.
• In other industries: water filtration, air filtration, environmental protection, non-woven fabric is a versatile material used in various industries with various applications.

Advantages and disadvantages of non-woven fabric

Advantages:

1. Environmentally friendly: Non-woven fabric is produced using fibers that do not require excessive energy and materials, making it an environmentally friendly solution.
2. Breathability: Non-woven fabric has better breathability than some other types of fabrics, making it convenient for use in medical and chemical products.
3. Easy access and use: Non-woven fabric is easy to access and use, with low production costs, and is used in various products.
4. Easy recycling and disposal: Non-woven fabric can be recycled and disposed of more easily than many other types of fabrics, helping to minimize environmental pollution.

Disadvantages:

1. Not durable: Non-woven fabric is often less durable than other types of fabrics, which can reduce the lifespan and durability of products made from it.
2. Not reusable: Some types of non-woven fabric cannot be reused, which can have a negative impact on the environment.
3. Poor water resistance: Some types of non-woven fabric have poor water resistance, reducing the effectiveness of products made from it in certain applications.
4. Low fineness: Some types of non-woven fabric have low fineness, which can reduce water resistance and load-bearing capacity of products made from it.

The importance of non-woven fabric in industry and daily life

Contributing to the development of the industry and the economy

Non-woven fabric has many applications in industry and daily life, but its greatest contribution is in the industrial sector.

Industrial:
