What material is non-woven fabric made of? There are many materials that can be used to make non-woven fabrics, the most common of which are made of polyester fibers and polyester fibers. Cotton, linen, glass fibers, artificial silk, synthetic fibers, etc. can also be made into non-woven fabrics. Liansheng non woven fabrics are made by randomly arranging fibers of different lengths to form a fiber network, which is then fixed with mechanical and chemical additives.
Non woven fabrics, like ordinary fabrics, have the advantages of softness, lightness, and good breathability. In addition, food grade raw materials are added during the production process, making them highly environmentally friendly and non-toxic, odorless products.
what is non woven fabric made of ？
1、 Adhesive
It is an artificial cellulose fiber made by solution spinning. Due to the inconsistent solidification rate between the core and outer layers of the fiber, a skin core structure is formed (as can be clearly seen from the cross-sectional slices). Viscose is a common chemical fiber with strong moisture absorption, good dyeing properties, and comfortable wearing. It has poor elasticity, wet strength, and wear resistance, so it is not resistant to water washing and has poor dimensional stability. Heavy weight, fabric is heavy, alkali resistant but not acid resistant.
Viscose fiber has a wide range of uses, and it is used in almost all types of textiles, such as filament lining, beautiful silk, flags, ribbons, tire cord, etc; Short fibers are used for imitation of cotton, wool, blending, interweaving, etc
2、 Polyester
Features: High strength, good impact resistance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, moth resistance, acid resistance but not alkali resistance, good light resistance (second only to acrylic), exposure to 1000 hours, maintaining 60-70% strength, poor moisture absorption, difficult dyeing, easy to wash and dry fabric, good shape retention. Having the characteristic of being washable and wearable
Usage:
Long filament: often used as low elasticity filament to make various textiles;
Short fibers: Cotton, wool, linen, etc. can be blended. In industry: tire cord, fishing net, rope, filter cloth, edge insulation materials, etc. It is currently the most widely used chemical fiber.
3、 Nylon
The major advantage is that it is sturdy and wear-resistant, making it an excellent type. Low density, lightweight fabric, good elasticity, fatigue resistance, good chemical stability, alkali resistance but not acid resistance!
The major drawback is poor sunlight resistance, as the fabric turns yellow after prolonged exposure to sunlight, leading to a decrease in strength and poor moisture absorption. However, it is better than acrylic and polyester.
Usage: Long filament, commonly used in knitting and silk industry; Short fibers, mostly blended with wool or woolen synthetic fibers, are used for fabrics such as gabardine and Vanadine. Industry: Cords and fishing nets, can also be used as carpets, ropes, conveyor belts, screens, etc.
4、 Acrylic fiber
Acrylic fibers have properties similar to wool, so they are called “synthetic wool”.
Molecular structure: Acrylic fiber has a unique internal major structure, with an irregular helical conformation and no strict crystallization zone, but can be arranged in either high or low order. Due to this structure, acrylic fiber has good thermal elasticity (can process bulky yarn), low density, smaller than wool, and good warmth retention of the fabric.
Features: Good resistance to sunlight and climate, poor moisture absorption, and difficult dyeing.
Pure acrylonitrile fiber, due to its tight internal structure and poor wearability, is improved by adding second and third monomers to enhance its performance. The second monomer improves elasticity and texture, while the third monomer improves dyeing properties.
Usage: Mainly used for civilian use, it can be spun pure or blended to make various types of woolen materials, yarn, blankets, sportswear, as well as artificial fur, plush, puffed yarn, water hoses, parasol cloth, etc.
5、 Vinylon
The main feature is high moisture absorption, which is one of the best synthetic fibers, known as “synthetic cotton”. The strength is inferior to that of nylon and polyester, with good chemical stability and resistance to strong acids and alkalis. It has good resistance to sunlight and climate, but it is resistant to dry heat and not to wet heat (shrinkage). Its elasticity is poor, the fabric is prone to wrinkling, dyeing is poor, and the color is not bright.
Usage: Blended with cotton: fine fabric, poplin, corduroy, underwear, canvas, waterproof fabric, packaging materials, work clothes, etc.
6、 Polypropylene
Polypropylene fiber is a lightweight fiber among common chemical fibers. It is almost non hygroscopic, but has good core absorption ability, high strength, stable fabric size, good wear resistance and elasticity, and good chemical stability. However, it has poor thermal stability, is not resistant to sunlight, and is prone to aging and brittle damage.
Usage: It can be used to weave socks, mosquito net fabric, duvet, warm padding, wet diapers, etc. In industry: carpets, fishing nets, canvas, water hoses, medical straps replace cotton gauze, used as hygiene products.
7、 Spandex
Good elasticity, poor strength, poor moisture absorption, and good resistance to light, acid, alkali, and wear.
Usage: Spandex is widely used in underwear, women’s underwear, casual wear, sportswear, socks, pantyhose, bandages, and other textile and medical fields due to its characteristics. Spandex is a high elastic fiber necessary for high-performance clothing materials that pursue dynamism and convenience. Spandex can stretch 5-7 times longer than its original shape, making it comfortable to wear, soft to the touch, and wrinkle free, while maintaining its original contour.
What aspects can Liansheng non-woven fabrics be applied to?
Non woven fabric is a common material in daily life. Let’s take a look at which aspects of our lives it appears in?
Packaging bags, compared to ordinary plastic bags, bags made of non-woven fabric can be recycled and more environmentally friendly.
In home life, non-woven fabrics can also be used for curtains, wall coverings, electrical cover fabrics, etc.
Non woven fabrics can also be used for masks, wet wipes, etc.
