what is spunlace non woven fabric?
Spunlace nonwoven fabric, also known as spunlaced or hydroentangled fabric, is a type of nonwoven textile material. It is produced by entangling fibers together using high-pressure water jets.
The manufacturing process involves the following steps:
1.Fiber Preparation: Fibers of various materials, such as polyester, viscose, cotton, or a blend of different fibers, are opened and blended together to create a fiber web.
2.Web Formation: The opened fibers are carded to create a loose web structure. This web can be reinforced with a binder fiber, such as a low-melting-point fiber, to improve the fabric’s strength and stability.
3.Entanglement: The loose fiber web is passed through a series of high-pressure water jets. These jets of water intertwine and entangle the fibers, creating a cohesive fabric structure. The entanglement is achieved through the mechanical action of the water jets, which entwine the fibers and cause them to interlock.
4.Drying and Finishing: After the entanglement process, the fabric is dried to remove excess moisture. It may undergo additional finishing processes, such as heat setting or chemical treatments, to enhance its properties, such as softness, strength, or absorbency.
Spunlace nonwoven fabrics have several desirable properties, including high strength, softness, absorbency, and breathability. They are commonly used in various applications, including medical and hygiene products (such as wipes, surgical gowns, and masks), filtration media, automotive interiors, cleaning cloths, and many other industrial and consumer goods.
The specific characteristics of spunlace nonwoven fabric can vary depending on the choice of fibers, fiber blend, density, and finishing treatments applied during the manufacturing proces
