Non Woven Fabric Roll

Non Woven Fabric Roll

Non woven fabric roll are sheets of material that are manufactured by bonding fibers together without weaving.non woven fabric roll They can be made of natural or synthetic fibres, and are used for a wide variety of end products. They offer a multitude of diverse properties such as absorbency, elasticity, liquid repellency and more. They can be treated chemically or mechanically to further enhance their performance. They are highly flexible, cost-effective and customizable, making them ideal for multiple industries.

The production of non-woven fabrics involves various processes that control the fiber chemical composition, shape, diameter and lengths, and how they are purposefully entwined to create the fabric matrix.non woven fabric roll The matrix is then combined with engineered polymer binder materials to bind the fibers together into a cohesive fabric structure. The resulting non-wovens are extremely versatile and provide a unique set of characteristics that make them ideal for use in numerous applications, including the hygiene-sanitary market, clothing, automotive, building, filtration and agriculture.

Different production methods give rise to two main types of non-wovens: spunlaid and spunlace.non woven fabric roll Spunlaid is created through a continuous forming process of short, randomly oriented fibres deposited on a conveyor belt permeable to air, which are then bonded into a continuous web using heat (TBAL), water (HBAL), hydrogen (LBAL) or a combination of both LBAL and TBAL processes. The resulting non-woven is a lightweight and flexible material, which exhibits high tensile strength, good elasticity and a gradual neck-in in width over the winding process that produces finished reels with a starting width of 3600 mm.

After the forming process is complete, the resulting master roll must be transferred from the winder to a rewinder where it is cut into the desired number of finished reels. The rewinding operation can be manual or fully automated with dedicated systems that ensure the quality of the finished product. However, errors in the winding and rewinding stages can have severe consequences for the quality of the final non-woven.

Depending on the specific type of non-woven, finishing treatments can be either mechanical (stretching, perforating, crimping etc.) or chemical (dyeing, coating, printing). The treated fabric can be made conductive, breathable, porous, antistatic, odourless, liquid repellent and more, which allows it to offer tailored solutions for different industry needs.

The bulk of non-woven rolls are used by converters that transform them into consumer goods. They typically come in several widths and diameters, as well as colors, apertures and embossing that match specific applications. Some non-wovens are also used in conservation and restoration works as a support fabric during drying processes or for wet processes such as immersion, to help stabilize fragile objects and protect them from physical damage. They can also be used to replace cellulose and paper in certain types of products, such as disposable wipes, medical masks, food packaging and more.
