Line for the production of spunlace nonwoven fabric. Different structure and density. Laminated spunlace available

The creation of nonwovens in the world has become, perhaps, the most promising direction in the textile industry. The volume and growth rate of their production is incomparably higher than in other sectors of the textile industry, such as fabrics and knitwear. The production of nonwovens in the world over the past 10 years has increased almost 3 times and in 2002 amounted to over 3 million tons per year and is mainly concentrated in Western Europe, USA, Japan and China.

This feature is explained by the fact that in the production of nonwovens the shortest and cheapest way of obtaining a wide range of textile fabrics from raw materials to finished products... The rapid development of nonwovens abroad was facilitated by the creation of high-performance methods for their production, such as:

From polymer melt (Spunbond),
From blown polymer (meltblown)
Bonding of fibrous canvas with water jets (Spunlace)

Nonwovens are an environmentally friendly product and are used in such areas of medicine where sterility and protection of personnel and patients is required: gynecology, obstetrics, surgery.
The protective properties of nonwovens, which are obtained by coating with polymer films, are especially important for surgical purposes.

Non-woven materials are used to make both sterile disposable clothing and non-sterile clothing, as well as individual bedding sets and much more.
Considering their distinctive properties, as well as the lint-free fabric, products from nonwovens are widely used in the manufacture of absorbent wipes and towels for hairdressing salons, sheets and wipes for removing cream for massage rooms for tanning salons.

Information for buyers:

SPANBOND. Non-woven thermally bonded material is a web of thermally bonded thinnest polypropylene threads. The material has good strength and is environmentally friendly. Disposable spunbond sheets are highly elastic, hypoallergenic, and water-repellent.

SPANLACE. Non-woven fabric. Composition: viscose - 70% + polyester 30%. Soft, lint-free material with high absorbency. Distinctive features are a combination of thinness and strength, high moisture absorption (in terms of the ability to absorb moisture it is not inferior to gauze and cotton wool), non-toxicity, antistaticity. Disposable towels, disposable spunlace wipes have good tactile sensations similar to cotton fabrics. Allow to avoid local irritating and allergic reactions in contact with skin and mucous membranes.

SMS - Composite materials based on spunbond are increasingly used in various sectors of the national economy. One of the latest and most advanced developments in the field of nonwovens is SMS (SMS).
It consists of 100% polypropylene fibers. A distinctive feature is the presence of meltblown material between the two layers of spunbond. Meltblown is a material consisting of polypropylene fibers with a thickness of 0.01 to 0.2 dtex.
SMS possesses very high absorbent properties, which allows composite materials based on it to prevent the passage of biologically active liquids, fats and chemicals. In its pure form, it is used to remove and collect oil spills from the water surface. The main application, SMS found as a material for the production of disposable medical clothing. The presence of a meltblown layer increases the antibacterial properties of SMS in comparison with the traditionally used spunbond by 7-10 times, which is very important for the protection of medical personnel.

It is also used as a filter element in protective masks. Disposable headrests on airplanes and trains, disposable bedding sets in hotels and on railroad all over the world are made only from SMS.

The production of nonwovens is one of the most promising areas of the textile industry. Over the past 10 years, it has almost tripled in volume. Such high rates of production growth are explained by the use of cheap and quick ways receiving textile fabrics:

  • Spandbond (from polymer melt);
  • Spunlace (attaching fibers with water jets);
  • SMS (from blown polymer).

As environmentally friendly, sterile and chemically inert products, nonwovens are widely used in the medical industry (obstetrics, gynecology, surgery). They acquired high protective properties due to their coating with polymer compositions, which is especially important when used under sterile conditions. Today, nonwovens are used to produce disposable clothing, sheets, napkins, towels, masks and much more.

Spunbond

This non-woven thermally bonded material, consisting of the finest polypropylene threads, is the main one in the production of disposable clothes and underwear. Its advantages include bioinertness, durability and affordable cost. The most popular in Russia is polypropylene-based spandbond. Mandatory steps in its production are antistatic and bactericidal treatment.

With a density reaching 42 g / m2, spunbond is distinguished by high moisture and air permeability, ease of sewing. Spunbond can be welded and printed on its surface. Non-toxicity and hypoallergenicity, the possibility of sterilization and a wide color palette perfectly explains its prevalence.

Spunlace

The production of the material takes place by weaving fibers of polyester, viscose, polypropylene, cellulose with high pressure water streams. The most popular in Russia is viscose-based spunlace. The main characteristics of the material are:

  • Elasticity,
  • Strength,
  • Ease,
  • Environmental friendliness,
  • Hygroscopicity,
  • Volume,
  • Barrier properties;
  • Lint-free.

The distinctive characteristics of spunlace are the optimal ratio of fineness and strength, non-toxicity and antistaticity. By the degree of moisture absorption, spunlace is not inferior to cotton wool and gauze. Disposable wipes and towels made of this material are pleasant to the touch, do not cause allergic reactions and irritations. The density of the spunlace used in the production of disposable medical clothing and supplies, varies in the range of 30-80 g / m2.

SMS

SMS is a spunbond-based composite. It is 100% polypropylene fibers. A distinctive feature of this material is that there is a meltblown layer between 2 layers of spunbond. SMS is characterized by high absorption properties, while it does not allow biologically active liquids to pass through, chemical compositions, fats. In its pure form, it is used to collect oil spills from the surface of the water.

SMS is widely used in the production of disposable medical clothing. Compared to traditional spunbond, SMS antibacterial properties are 7-10 times higher. Also, this material perfectly copes with the role of a filter element in protective masks. It is used to make headrests on trains and planes, disposable bed linen sets for hotels, and much more.

Spunlace is a unique material that is produced using a special technology of tight connection of threads without glue additives. The fabric contains polyester and viscose fibers. The optimal proportion of these components makes it possible to obtain a chemically pure nonwoven fabric with a lint-free structure.

Spunlace is ideal for medical applications where product safety and convenience are paramount. Non-woven fabric is used to make obstetric, surgical, dental kits, operating and bed linen, absorbent diapers, napkins, sheets and towels, as well as special protective clothing for doctors, patients and staff.

The material does not attract dust, after sterilization it does not lose its original properties. It can be hydrophilic or hydrophobic depending on the way the fibers are woven and the composition.

In addition to the medical field, the canvas is used in cosmetology, car services, any industry with increased requirements for cleanliness during the production process.

Material characteristic

Spunlace nonwoven material, thanks to a special technology of bonding fibers with water jets under high pressure, acquires unique properties, including:

  • Hygroscopicity. Absorbs and retains moisture and liquid components well. Due to its absorbency, spunlace products can replace traditional cotton wool and gauze.
  • High degree of breathability. The fabric has the highest air permeability among other non-bulky nonwovens. Perfectly breathable, provides ventilation of clothes.
  • Lint-free structure. During surgery, the fluff is a potential threat to the patient. Particles that are constantly moving in the air are capable of carrying bacteria. This increases the risk of infection, and therefore the lint-free fiber structure is primarily a guarantee of safety.
  • Hypoallergenic. In contact with the skin and mucous membranes, the non-woven material does not cause allergic reactions.
  • Strength and elasticity. Spunlace is a thin but durable fabric that is tear resistant. The longitudinal plexus of the fibers gives it elasticity, the transverse one - additional strength.

In 2014, our company made a huge leap forward in its development - in Germany it was purchased and launched the latest equipment company TRUTZSCHLER for the production of nonwoven fabrics spunlace .

This nonwoven fabric is made by weaving the fibers of the canvas with high pressure water jets. The advantage this method is the absence of adhesive chemical reagents, which ensures a high environmental friendliness of the process. The resulting soft, lint-free material has a high absorbency and is most suitable for use in the manufacture of wet wipes and in many fields of cosmetology, as well as medicine.

Our equipment, thanks to advanced carding and hydrostitching technologies, allows achieving a high degree of web uniformity and stable linear density

Nonwoven fabric production


Dupont de nemours

Brand: Sontara (Softesse)

Dupont pioneered the technology for the production of nonwovens by water jetting and therefore has its own technology for the production of Sontara® spunlace. The main difference between Sontara canvases from all other spunlace materials is the composition: Dupont spunlace is made on the basis of cellulose and polyester, usually in a ratio of 55:45 (while the vast majority of similar materials are made entirely of synthetics). Due to cellulose, the material has greater strength, a higher level of absorbency

Although, of course, Dupont also offers viscose / polyester and 100% polyester spunlaces. Sontara materials have improved consumer characteristics:

Improved barrier properties against bacteria and liquids;
... lint-free;
... exceptional softness and comfort to wear (in the case of production of clothes based on it) - the material breathes;
... high resistance to chemicals;
... high strength;
... high absorbency;
... drape.


Initially, there were no analogues to this material, but now Chinese-made canvases under the name "pulp" or "wood-pulp" appear on the market. Chinese manufacturers position their material as "analogue of Sontara".

All over the world, Sontara nonwovens are used in the following areas:


1.wiping / polishing materials
... aviation industry;
... Automotive industry;
... food industry;
... household products;
... printing industry.

2.medical devices
... surgical clothing and underwear;
... dressings.

3.automotive
... upholstery / interlining fabrics;
... covering canvases.

In Russia, the material has become widespread only in the market of disposable clothes and linen, since there is no production of cleaning agents for household and industrial purposes in our country. It should be noted that since 2005, the spunlace manufactured by Dupont for medical devices was renamed into the new Softesse brand, while the Sontara brand cloths are intended specifically for technical wiping materials. In the world, wiping / polishing napkins and rags from the Sontara brand occupy a leading position.

Novita

Brand: Novitex


Novita is a fairly well-known company on the European market - a supplier of needle-punched materials. Initially, the Polish company started its activity as a manufacturer of nonwoven fabrics for technical purposes. Not long ago, Novita installed a nonwovens production facility using water jet technology. A new type of nonwovens is marketed under the Novitex brand. Novita offers spunlaces of various compositions:


... Based on 100% viscose;
... Based on 100% polyester;
... Based on viscose and polyester.

Mixed materials:


... 70% viscose / 30% polyester (the most popular material on russian market);
... 50% viscose / 50% polyester.

It is also possible to produce spunlace using polypropylene, polyamide, polyethylene fibers, and also based on microfibers (microfiber). Novita produces nonwovens in various weights - from 30 g / m2 to 300 g / m2. Polish-made material has high strength (wear resistance), excellent absorbency, resistance to oils, solvents, detergents. All this allows using spunlace both at home and in industrial enterprises.
