Can non woven fabric be ironed

The properties of non-woven fabrics

Non woven fabric, also known as non-woven fabric, is a type of textile that does not require weaving or weaving techniques. It is a type of fabric that uses chemical fibers as the main raw material, shortens the fibers through chemical and physical processing, and spins them in a random direction. Then, the short fibers are stacked into a mesh structure using adhesive or hot lap.

Compared with ordinary fabrics, non-woven fabrics have excellent properties such as softness, breathability, water resistance, corrosion resistance, mold resistance, and fire resistance, as well as high strength and ductility. Its materials are mainly composed of plastic raw materials such as polypropylene and polyester, so it is easy to melt at high temperatures. It is necessary to pay attention to the temperature during ironing.

The principle of an iron

An iron is a common household appliance used to remove wrinkles from clothing. The process involves heating the iron to allow the heat emitted from the bottom of the iron to come into contact with the clothing and flatten the wrinkles.

The temperature of an iron is generally between 100 ℃ and 230 ℃, and different temperature ranges can be selected for ironing according to different materials of clothing. However, due to the material of non-woven fabric being prone to melting, attention should be paid to the temperature during ironing.

Can non-woven fabrics be ironed with an iron

The melting point of non-woven fabric is generally between 160 ° C and 220 ° C, and temperatures higher than this can cause the non-woven fabric material to melt and deform. Therefore, when ironing non-woven fabrics, it is necessary to choose a lower temperature range and place a damp towel between the iron and the fabric to prevent the non-woven fabric from melting and deforming due to overheating.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that non-woven fabrics have a rougher surface compared to other fabrics, so extra care should be taken when ironing to avoid damaging the non-woven fabric. However, for microfiber non-woven fabrics, as they cannot come into contact with hot water above 60 degrees, they cannot be ironed with an iron.

Precautions for ironing non-woven fabrics

1. Choose a lower temperature range, preferably not exceeding 180 ℃;

2. Lay a damp towel between the non-woven fabric and the iron;

3. During the ironing process, it is important to be meticulous and careful.

The most correct way to handle creases on non-woven fabrics

1. Wet with water and then air dry, being careful not to let the cloth have wrinkles when air drying.

2. Spread the non-woven fabric flat and press it with a flat plate to relieve wrinkles.

3. Hang clothes in a bathroom filled with hot and humid air after bathing, using hot and humid air instead of the steam from the iron to ensure that the clothes become flat and straight the next morning.

4. Use a hanging ironing machine to iron the wrinkled clothes.

Summary

It is not difficult to see that non-woven fabrics can be ironed with an iron, but attention should be paid to the temperature and method of the iron to avoid damage to the non-woven fabric. For the ironing problem of non-woven products, we need to consider the actual situation and product description comprehensively to achieve the best ironing effect.
