Abstract
There are differences in production processes, uses, and characteristics between woven fabrics and non-woven fabrics. Woven fabric is made by interweaving yarns on a weaving machine, with a stable structure, and is suitable for industrial fields such as chemical and metallurgical industries. Non woven fabric is made through non-woven technology, with low cost, and is commonly used in industries such as deformed starch. Both have unique advantages and applicable scenarios.
Woven
Woven fabric is composed of two or more sets of straight yarns or threads interwoven with each other according to certain rules on a loom. The longitudinal yarns are called warp yarns, and the transverse yarns are called weft yarns. The basic organization includes plain weave, diagonal weave, and satin weave.
Non woven fabric
Non-woven fabric, is made by directly bonding fibers without weaving. It refers to a sheet-like fiber web or pad formed by rubbing, twisting, or combining randomly arranged fibers with each other.Non woven fabrics do not include paper, woven fabrics, tufted fabrics, sewn fabrics, and wet felted products. They mainly include backing pads, quilted quilts, wall coverings, pillowcases, plastering fabrics, and so on.
Advantages and disadvantages of woven fabric
Machine woven fabric refers to a fabric made by interweaving natural or synthetic fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, and silk. Its advantages include good softness, high strength, and a more upscale texture. In addition, the texture of woven fabric is rich, so there are more choices to meet the needs of different groups of people.
The disadvantage of woven fabric is that it is prone to shrinkage, especially after washing with water. In addition, due to its interwoven structure, woven fabrics are prone to cracking if not processed properly, which is very detrimental to clothing production. So it is necessary to take preventive and handling measures during manufacturing and processing.
Advantages and disadvantages of non-woven fabric
Non woven fabric refers to a fiber network formed by the condensation of one or more fiber layers through mechanical, chemical, or thermodynamic processes. Non woven fabrics have special physical and mechanical properties compared to woven fabrics, which are determined by their own production processes.
The advantages of non-woven fabric include waterproofing and good strength, which have good effects in both dry and humid environments. Meanwhile, the durability of non-woven fabrics makes them widely used in industrial and commercial applications. In addition, non-woven fabrics have good physical properties and are easier to form and process.
However, the disadvantage of non-woven fabric is that its surface is relatively hard and not breathable, which cannot be met for certain specific situations. For example, in some textiles, what we need is breathability, but this characteristic is not well reflected in non-woven fabrics.
The difference between non-woven fabric and woven fabric
Different materials
The material of non-woven fabric comes from synthetic and natural fibers, such as polyester, acrylic, polypropylene, etc. Woven and knitted fabrics can use various types of wires, such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, and various synthetic fibers.
Different production processes
Non woven fabric is made by combining fibers into a web through hot air or chemical methods, using various techniques such as bonding, melting, and needle punching. Woven fabrics are woven by interweaving warp and weft yarns, while knitted fabrics are formed by interweaving yarns on a knitting machine.
Different performance
Due to various processing techniques, non-woven fabrics are softer, more comfortable, and have some flame retardancy. Their breathability, weight, thickness, and other properties can also vary greatly depending on the processing steps. Woven fabrics, due to different weaving methods, can be made into various fabric structures and uses, with strong stability, softness, moisture absorption, and a high-end feel. For example, fabrics made by weaving techniques such as silk and linen.
Different uses
Non woven fabrics have characteristics such as moisture resistance, breathability, flame retardancy, and filtration, and are widely used in fields such as home, medical, and industrial applications. Woven fabrics are widely used in clothing, bedding, curtains, and other fields, while knitted fabrics are often used in knitwear, hats, gloves, socks, and so on.
Differences in other aspects
Weaving is made by interweaving warp and weft lines, with texture, structure, and flatness, while non-woven fabric does not have warp and weft lines, texture, and flatness.The hand feel of woven fabric is softer, suitable for products that can be directly applied to the skin, and non-woven fabric can also achieve softness comparable to cotton fabrics after processing.
Conclusion
In summary, non-woven fabric and woven fabric are different concepts. Non woven fabric does not have warp and weft lines, but is composed of fibers entangled in three directions: micro drum, horizontal and vertical; Weaving is made by interweaving warp and weft lines, with texture, structure, and flatness. In applications, non-woven fabrics have excellent characteristics and are suitable for making products with regular and complex shapes, while woven fabrics are suitable for making products with relatively hard materials and stable shapes.
