As an environmentally friendly and reusable packaging material, non-woven bags have been widely used in various fields. In the production process of non-woven bags, soft and hard materials are two common types of materials. So, what is the difference between these two materials? This article will provide a detailed analysis and comparison from three aspects: material, usage, and environmental characteristics.
Material characteristics
Soft material: Non woven bags made of soft material are generally made of synthetic fibers such as polyester or polypropylene. These fibers undergo special processing to form soft and lightweight fabrics with certain stretchability and toughness. The texture of soft non-woven bags is light and thin, with a soft touch, suitable for making lightweight packaging bags or shopping bags.
Hard material: Hard non-woven bags are mainly made of plastic materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). These plastic materials are woven or hot pressed to form sturdy, stiff fabrics with high strength and durability. Hard non-woven bags have a thicker texture and a harder feel, making them suitable for making packaging bags or industrial products with strong load-bearing capacity.
Differences in usage
Soft material: Due to its lightweight and soft texture, non-woven bags made of soft material are suitable for making lightweight packaging bags or shopping bags. Soft non-woven bags have been widely used in industries such as retail, catering, and express delivery. In addition, soft non-woven bags can also be used to make promotional bags, gift bags, etc., with good promotional effects and aesthetics.
Hard material: Non woven bags made of hard material are commonly used to make packaging bags with strong load-bearing capacity, such as industrial supplies, building materials, etc., due to their sturdy and stiff characteristics. In addition, non-woven bags made of hard materials can also be used to make garbage bags, floor mats, etc., with strong durability and practicality.
Environmental characteristics
As an environmentally friendly material, non-woven bags have certain environmental characteristics, whether they are soft or hard materials. However, there are still certain differences between the two in terms of specific environmental performance.
Soft material: Non woven bags made of soft material are generally made of recyclable synthetic fibers, which can reduce the consumption of natural resources to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the production process of soft non-woven bags generates less waste, which is beneficial for reducing environmental pollution.
Hard material: Hard non-woven bags are mainly made of plastic materials. Although they have certain durability and practicality, they are difficult to recycle and dispose of after being discarded. In addition, the production process of non-woven bags made of hard materials may generate certain pollutants such as exhaust gas and wastewater, which have a certain impact on the environment.
Conclusion
In summary, there are significant differences between non-woven bag soft and hard materials in terms of material, usage, and environmental characteristics. When choosing non-woven bags, the appropriate material type should be selected based on specific usage scenarios and needs. At the same time, in order to better promote the development of environmental protection, we should actively advocate the use of recyclable and biodegradable non-woven bags to reduce the burden on the environment.
Dongguan Liansheng Non woven Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2020. It is a large-scale non-woven fabric production enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. It can produce various colors of PP spunbond non-woven fabrics with a width of less than 3.2 meters from 9 grams to 300 grams.
