Production of spunlace nonwovens for hygienic
and medical applications
Spunlace nonwovens play a crucial role in hygienic and medical applications due to their unique properties and manufacturing technologies. These fabrics are made from natural or synthetic fibers that are bonded together without weaving using a process called spunlace. The production process uses high-pressure water jets to cross-link the fibers and create a strong, uniform structure. This technology creates fabrics with high softness, excellent absorbency and sufficient strength
Due to their hypoallergenic properties Breathability and light weight, spunlace nonwovens are widely used in the manufacture of products such as wet wipes, masks, surgical gowns and hospital drapes. Additionally, their low manufacturing costs and recyclability make them an economical and environmentally friendly choice. The use of spunlace nonwovens in the medical and hygiene industry is steadily increasing as the demand for disposable and hygiene products has increased, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.
