I. Definition: Nonwoven fabric is a type of fabric that does not require spinning or weaving. It is made by orienting or randomly arranging textile short fibers/filaments into a web and then reinforcing it through mechanical, thermal bonding, chemical and other processes. It is also known as “nonwoven fabric”.
Ii. Characteristics
The production process is short (saving 30% to 50% of procedures compared with traditional textiles), with high output and controllable costs.
Customizable performance as needed, such as waterproof, breathable, filtering, antibacterial, degradable, etc.
It is light in texture and flexible in strength, ranging from soft and skin-friendly to wear-resistant and tear-resistant, meeting the needs of various scenarios.
Iii. Three Core Categories: Covering All Scenario Demands from Basic to High-end
|
Category |
Core Process Advantages |
Typical Application Fields |
|
Spunbond nonwoven fabric |
High strength, strong stability and good aging resistance | Eco-friendly shopping bags, geotextiles, automotive interiors, packaging materials |
|
Meltblown non-woven fabric |
Fine fiber diameter (0.5-5μm), high filtration efficiency | Medical mask filter layer, air purifier filter material, key layer of protective clothing |
|
Spunlace non-woven |
Soft to the touch, skin-friendly and highly absorbent | Wet wipes, face towels, medical dressings and baby care products |
|
Needle-punched non-woven |
Flexible and controllable performance, low energy consumption, environmentally friendly, efficient | Filter material for bag-type dust collectors, air filters, agricultural insulation quilts, sound insulation felt, and wall insulation layers |
Iv. Penetrating the Entire Industrial Chain: Four Core Application Scenarios of Nonwoven Fabrics
In the medical and health field: Surgical gowns, protective suits, disposable medical bed sheets, antibacterial dressings, etc., with the characteristics of “bacterial barrier + single-use”, reduce the risk of cross-infection and are essential materials for the medical system.
In the field of daily consumption: The surface layer of baby diapers, makeup remover cotton, home sound insulation felt, and eco-friendly shopping bags, all meet the demands of “convenience and health” under the trend of consumption upgrade.
In the field of industrial manufacturing: Air filtration materials, battery separators, and automotive roof fabrics, relying on their “high strength and acid and alkali resistance” characteristics, have become key supporting products for industrial upgrading.
In the field of agricultural production: Seedling cloth (increasing germination rate by 15%-20%), weed control cloth (reducing weed growth by over 80%), and thermal insulation greenhouse film, all contribute to improving agricultural quality, increasing production, and reducing costs.
V. Industrial Opportunities Stand Out: Why Is It the Right Time to Enter the Nonwoven Fabric Market Now?
The demand continues to grow: The global nonwoven fabric market size is growing rapidly, and the demand in sub-sectors such as medical protection, degradable packaging, and new energy supporting (such as battery separators) has exploded.
Policy dividends boost: Many countries are promoting “plastic restriction orders” and “green manufacturing”, and degradable non-woven fabrics and high-performance functional non-woven fabrics have become key policy support directions.
Accelerated technological iteration: From traditional single-function products to “multi-functional composites” (such as antibacterial + breathable + degradable), the profit margins of high value-added products are significantly higher than those of ordinary categories.
