Wet Wipe Nonwoven Fabric is an increasingly popular fabric used for the production of wet wipes. These are used in a variety of applications, such as cleaning surfaces and equipment, and for washing hands. The fabric is also often used in medical applications, such as disinfecting wounds or wiping down equipment. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses and materials, and can be made from either natural or synthetic fibers.
Nonwoven fabrics are a sheet or web of short and continuous fibers or filaments that are bound together without the use of knitted or woven yarns, thermal bonding, chemical or solvent treatment. They are generally produced by hot pressing, hydroentangling, or needle punching, but other methods of production can be used as well.
Spunlace nonwoven is the most common type of nonwoven material used in wet wipe production. The process of spunlace production involves blending different types of natural and synthetic fibers, then exposing them to high-pressure water jets from a specialized nozzle. The resulting entangled fiber bundles are then spun into a fine thread and cut to size. This is done to create a uniform web with high strength, softness, and absorbency.
The wipes are then saturated with various liquid contents, such as water, oil, and a solution of cleaning ingredients. Afterwards, the fabric is rolled into a tube and sealed to form the finished product. The wet wipes can then be packaged and sold to consumers for their various uses.
In order to improve the quality and production of wet wipes, manufacturers are focusing on using high-quality Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric. This fabric provides the softness and absorbency necessary for the product, as well as exceptional tensile strength. In addition, it is able to withstand multiple launderings. This is important because the majority of the wipes are washed and laundered in cleanrooms that must be no cleaner than ISO class 6.
To reduce the amount of microfibers generated, it is necessary to understand how the fibers in a nonwoven are processed and bonded. A number of different methods have been proposed, including carding, hot-pressing, hydroentangling, and meltblown processes. However, most commercial products are made by spinning cellulose and synthetic blends and have a wet-use composition.
The study analyzed the physical, mechanical, and liquid absorption and transport characteristics of a series of wet wipes made from different types of nonwoven fabric. The results indicate that a combination of cellulose and polyester provides the best performance, with the cellulose providing the elasticity and strength, while the polyester helps to improve wet strength. The result is a fabric that has superior wet and dry strength, good softness, high openness, no swarf, and no watermarks. The entangled nature of the fibers also allows for a higher rate of absorption.
