Frist, Definition and characteristics of nonwovens
Nonwovens, also known as nonwovens, are sheets, webs or MATS made of oriented or randomly arranged fibers that are combined with each other by friction, hugging or bonding, or a combination of these methods. Compared with traditional textile cloth, it has the following significant characteristics:
The production process is simple: there is no need for traditional spinning and weaving process, which greatly shortens the production cycle and reduces the production cost.
Performance diversification: According to different uses and needs, the type, ratio and processing technology of the fiber can be adjusted to obtain different properties, such as softness, air permeability, water absorption, filterability and so on.
Environmentally sustainable: Many nonwovens are made of recycled materials or natural fibers, which are environmentally friendly and meet the requirements of sustainable development.
Second, the application field of nonwovens
Medical and health field: Nonwovens are widely used in the medical and health field, such as medical masks, surgical gowns, disinfection wipes, dressings, etc. These products have good permeability, water absorption and filterability, which can effectively prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses and protect the health of medical staff and patients.
Household goods field: Nonwovens can be made into various household goods, such as carpets, curtains, bedding, sofa cushions and so on. These products are soft and comfortable, easy to clean, durable and other characteristics, favored by consumers.
Industrial field: Nonwovens also have a wide range of applications in the industrial field, such as filter materials, sound insulation materials, heat insulation materials, waterproof materials and so on. These products have good performance and reliability, and can meet the various needs of industrial production.
Agricultural field: Nonwovens can be made into agricultural covering materials, seedling bags, fruit packaging materials, etc. These products have the characteristics of heat preservation, moisture, insect protection, air permeability, etc., which can improve the yield and quality of crops.
Third, the development trend of nonwovens
With the continuous progress of science and technology and people's attention to environmental protection and health, the development trend of nonwovens also shows the following aspects:
High performance: Continuously improve the performance of nonwovens, such as strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, antibacterial properties, etc., to meet the higher requirements of different fields.
Functionalization: give nonwovens more functions, such as waterproof, fireproof, anti-static, anti-radiation, etc., to expand its application range.
Green environmental protection: The use of more environmentally friendly materials and production processes to reduce environmental pollution and improve the sustainability of nonwovens.
Intelligent: sensors, chips and other intelligent technologies are combined with nonwovens to develop nonwovens with intelligent monitoring, intelligent regulation and other functions.
In short, nonwovens, as an innovative material, have broad development prospects and huge market potential. In the future development, nonwovens will continue to innovate and progress, and make greater contributions to people's lives and the development of society.
