The main materials of elastic non-woven fabric include polypropylene (PP), polyester, and elastomers. Polypropylene is the main component of elastic non-woven fabrics, accounting for over 70% of the total composition, with esters being the secondary component, typically accounting for around 20%. The elastic component usually accounts for about 10%.
The influence of ingredients on the properties of elastic non-woven fabrics
1. Polypropylene: Polypropylene is a polymer compound with good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, as well as high strength and toughness. The addition of polypropylene in elastic non-woven fabric can enhance its strength and wear resistance, while also improving its waterproof and breathable properties.
2. Polyester: Polyester is a high molecular weight compound with excellent UV and antioxidant properties, as well as high strength and toughness. In the elastic non-woven fabric, the addition of polyester can improve its durability and anti-aging performance, as well as enhance its softness and comfort.
3. Elastomer: An elastomer is a polymer with high elasticity, typically used to increase the elasticity and flexibility of materials. In elastic non-woven fabrics, the addition of elastomers can enhance the material’s elasticity and flexibility, while also improving its tensile and wear resistance.
Characteristics of elastic non-woven fabric
Elastic non-woven fabric is a non-woven material with excellent elasticity and breathability. Its main characteristics are as follows:
Excellent elasticity: Elastic non-woven fabric breaks the limitation of small elasticity of traditional elastic film materials, has better elasticity, can stretch freely, and adapt to different body shapes and needs.
Good breathability: Unlike some non breathable elastic materials, elastic non-woven fabric has good breathability, which can avoid stuffiness and discomfort caused by long-term use.
Soft to the touch: Its material is soft and comfortable to the touch, without causing any tightness or discomfort to the user.
Widely used: Due to the above characteristics, elastic non-woven fabrics have a wide range of applications in medical, hygiene, clothing, home and other fields, especially in products that require both elasticity and comfort.
Manufacturing process
Spunbond process
Melt the polymer into fibers through spinning, and then produce non-woven fabric through hot rolling or chemical bonding.
By adding elastic fibers or adjusting process parameters, the material is endowed with elasticity.
Meltblown process
Manufacturing ultrafine fibers, commonly used in filter materials, combined with elastic fibers to make elastic non-woven fabrics.
Composite process
Combine the spunbond layer with the meltblown layer (such as SMS structure), and then add elastic fibers to make a composite material that combines elasticity and strength.
Hot air bonding
Cross link the fibers through hot air treatment to form a soft and elastic non-woven fabric.
Application Fields
It has a wide range of applications, including eye mask, steam eye mask, 3D mask, boom strap, facial mask base material, medical tape, antipyretic patch, plaster patch, fitness belt, weight loss belt, beauty head cover, hair cover, knee protector, elastic bandage, baby diapers, waist circumference of adult incontinence pants and other materials.
Summary
Elastic non-woven fabric is a type of non-woven material made by adding elastic fibers or special processes, which has characteristics such as elasticity, softness, and breathability. Its main materials include polypropylene, polyester, spandex, etc., which are widely used in medical, health, clothing, home and other fields. Its customizability and versatility make it an important material in modern industry and consumer goods.
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.
