What is spunlace nonwoven Fabric?
Spunlace (Also called Hydroentanglement) is a bonding process for wet or dry fibrous webs made by either carding, airlaying or wet-laying, the resulting bonded fabric being a nonwoven. It uses fine, high pressure jets of water which penetrate the web, hit the conveyor belt (or “wire” as in papermaking conveyor) and bounce back causing the fibres to entangle. Fibers: Polyester Fiber
Spunlace non woven fabric used short staple fibers, the most popular is viscose(38mm*1.67dtex) and polyester staple fibers(38mm*1.56dtex). Sometimes Polypropylene (PP) also used in spunlace production. Some other raw material, such as cotton, tencel,chitin etc. These fibers are more natural and they are from plant or animal, which is more expensive. That is all about spunlace meaning you want to know. Spunlace Technology : Spunlace Machine
A spunlace productive line is several machine parts contains, like mixer machine, carding machine, water jets etc.. To invest a spunlace machine is big. The local China spunlace nonwoven machinery are mainly from Feilong, Zhengfangji etc. The famous one may be “ANDRITZ” in Europe. Based on technical reason, imported machine is better than Chinese machine, both output and fabric quality. Nowadays the most spunlace non woven fabric manufacturers are from US, Europe,China and Turkey, Vietiam, India and Indonesia also have the spunlace machines in currently years. But China should be the most complete types and export the most quantity every year. Spunlace nonwoven Fabric is an important type of non woven fabric.(see what is non woven). The Spunlace process is a nonwovens manufacturing system that employs jets of water to entangle fibers and thereby provide fabric integrity. In last article, we have a photo to show the spunlace process:
In fact, With the development of spunlace nonwoven technology currently, we have some new spunlaced technology, one of the most important is woodpulp spunlace fabric. See the woodpulp spunlace process as below:
Woodpulp Spunlace Fabric now is popular and can replace some normal spunlace fabric, this fabric have 2 types: Woodpulp Polyester Non woven Fabric & Woodpulp POLYPROPYLENE Non woven Fabric These wood pulp non woven fabric is cheaper and also a good material for spunlace wipers.
