I.What is Woodpulp PP Apertured Spunlace Fabric?
Woodpulp PP Apertured Spunlace Fabric is a nonwoven material made from high-quality wood pulp and polypropylene (PP). It is produced in a ‘two-step’ production process by hydroentanglement of soft woodpulp with a strong spunbond nonwoven. This material combines the softness of wood pulp with the strength of polypropylene and is widely used in medical, hygiene and cleaning applications.
II.Manufacturing process
The manufacturing process of Woodpulp PP Apertured Spunlace Fabric includes the following key steps:
Raw Material Selection: High quality woodpulp and new polypropylene imported from Canada are used.
Fibre opening: Woodpulp and polypropylene fibres are dispersed into single strands.
Web Forming: The fibres are laid into a web by airflow or mechanical means.
Hydroentanglement: the wood pulp and polypropylene fibres are interwoven together using a high-pressure water stream to form a soft and strong nonwoven fabric.
Perforation: Perforation is applied to the surface of the nonwoven fabric to enhance its air permeability and water absorption.
III.Product characteristics
Soft and comfortable: Wood pulp fibres give the material excellent softness, making it suitable for direct contact with the skin.
Strong and durable: Polypropylene fibres enhance the strength and durability of the material.
Highly absorbent: perforated design improves the material's water absorbency.
Environmentally friendly and biodegradable: natural wood pulp and recyclable polypropylene are used to reduce the impact on the environment.
IV. Application Areas
Medical field: Used in surgical gowns, masks, medical wipes, etc. to provide safe and reliable protection.
Hygiene products: such as wet wipes, nappies, sanitary napkins, etc., to meet consumer demand for comfort and functionality.
Cleaning products: such as industrial wipes, household cleaning cloths, etc., applicable to various cleaning scenarios.
V.Market Prospects
With the growing global demand for high-quality nonwoven fabrics, Woodpulp PP Apertured Spunlace Fabric is becoming the material of choice in the medical, hygiene, and cleaning sectors due to its excellent performance and environmental friendly properties. In the future, with the advancement of technology, this material will be used in more areas.
VI.Summary
Woodpulp PP Apertured Spunlace Fabric is an innovative nonwoven material that combines the softness of wood pulp with the strength of polypropylene. By understanding its manufacturing process and areas of application, we can better recognise its significant value in the medical, hygiene and cleaning sectors. In the future, this material will contribute even more to environmental protection and sustainable development.
