In the field of modern textile materials, elastic nonwoven fabrics and non-woven fabrics, as representatives of new environmentally friendly materials, are increasingly attracting widespread attention. Although they have different names, they are intricately connected.
Non-woven fabric, also known as non-woven cloth, is precisely called non-woven fabric. It is not a fabric formed in the traditional sense through spinning and weaving. Instead, it is made by orienting or randomly arranging textile short fibers or long filaments to form a web structure, and then reinforcing it by mechanical, thermal bonding or chemical methods. This production process breaks through the traditional textile principles and features a short process, fast production speed, high output, low cost and wide application. Non-woven fabric possesses a variety of excellent properties, such as moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, lightweight, non-flammable, easy to decompose, non-toxic and non-irritating, rich in color and recyclable.
Elastic non-woven fabric is a functional material developed on the basis of non-woven fabric. It endows non-woven fabric with excellent elastic properties through a special process. For instance, by adding elastic filaments in the width or length direction of the fabric and then compounding them, non-woven fabrics can be endowed with tensile and rebound capabilities in specific directions. This elastic non-woven fabric not only retains the advantages of traditional non-woven fabric, but also increases elasticity and comfort, which can better conform to the human body's curves and meet the demand for elasticity in fields such as medical care, hygiene products and clothing.
From the perspective of material composition, the fibers mainly used in the production of non-woven fabrics include polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), as well as nylon (PA), viscose fiber, acrylic fiber, etc
. Elastic non-woven fabrics may incorporate elastic fibers such as spandex or adopt special composite structures depending on the elasticity requirements. For instance, some elastic composite non-woven fabrics adopt a multi-layer design, including an anti-friction layer, a high-elasticity inner layer and a moisture-absorbing bottom layer, to simultaneously achieve the functions of wear resistance, high elasticity and hydrophilicity.
In terms of application, elastic non-woven fabric, due to its unique properties, is widely used in disposable hygiene products (such as diapers and sanitary napkins), medical and health products (such as medical bandages and protective clothing), beauty care products, and clothing linings, among other fields. These applications not only require the materials to have good elasticity, but also need to maintain the original breathability and moisture-proof properties of non-woven fabrics.
In conclusion, elastic nonwoven fabric is an important branch of the nonwoven fabric family. Through material selection and process innovation, it endows traditional nonwoven fabric with excellent elastic functions, expands the application scope of nonwoven fabric, and meets the dual demands of modern life for comfort and functionality. With technological advancements, such environmentally friendly materials will continue to demonstrate their value in more fields.
