Viscose spunlace nonwovens: innovative materials for environmental protection and efficiency
2025-02-25
Nonwovens are increasingly in demand as a widely used material in modern industry and consumer goods manufacturing. Viscose fibre spunlace nonwoven fabrics (also known as viscose fibre spunlace nonwoven fabrics) are gradually gaining a foothold in a number of industries due to their outstanding performance. In this article, we will take a closer look at the properties and advantages of viscose fibre spunlace nonwovens and their application areas.

I.What is viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric?

Viscose spunlace nonwoven is a nonwoven material made by spinning viscose fibres through the hydroentanglement process. The spunlace process uses a high-pressure water stream to entangle the fibres together to form a well-structured nonwoven. Viscose spunlace has high strength, softness and moisture absorption, and its thickness and density can be adjusted according to the demand to meet the requirements of different industries.

II.Advantages of Viscose Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric

Strong environmental protection
Viscose spunlace is mainly made of natural viscose fibre, which does not contain harmful chemicals and meets the requirements of environmental protection. It is biodegradable and can reduce the burden on the environment. Therefore, viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric becomes an ideal material choice against the backdrop of increasing demand for green products.

High moisture absorption
Viscose fibres are superior to ordinary synthetic fibres in terms of moisture absorption, so viscose spunlace nonwoven fabrics excel in moisture absorption. This makes it effective in absorbing liquids in a wide range of applications such as hygiene products, the medical field and cleaning utensils.

Soft and comfortable
Due to the natural softness of its fibres, viscose spunlace nonwoven fabrics are very soft to the touch and are often used in products that require contact with the skin, such as baby nappies and feminine hygiene napkins.

Breathable
The fibre network structure formed by the spunlace process has good breathability, which effectively removes moisture and keeps it dry, which is important in many product applications, especially in medical and personal care products where breathability is required.

III.Application areas for viscose spunlace nonwovens

Hygiene products
Viscose spunlace nonwovens are widely used in hygiene products such as nappies, feminine hygiene napkins and adult nappies. It is moisture-absorbent, soft and comfortable, and can effectively improve the user experience.

Medical Industry
In the medical field, viscose spunlace nonwovens are used in surgical gowns, medical dressings, masks and other products. Its breathability and moisture absorption make these products highly comfortable and functional.

Cleaning Products
Viscose spunlace nonwovens are widely used in cleaning products such as wipes, wet wipes and cleaning cloths due to their good water absorption and durability. These products absorb liquids efficiently and last for a long time, ensuring effective cleaning.

Automotive
In the automotive industry, viscose spunlace nonwovens are used in interior materials, seat cushions, etc., providing a certain degree of compression resistance and comfort.

Filtration materials
The fibre structure of viscose spunlace nonwovens can be used as air or liquid filtration material. Its good filtration properties have led to its use in products such as air purifiers and oil-water separators.
