What is a degradable spunlace non-woven fabric towel?

Biodegradable spunlace non-woven fabric towels are a type of non-woven fabric towel made from biodegradable fibers through the spunlace process.

What are the raw materials for degradable spunlace nonwoven fabric?

Natural plant fibers

Bamboo fiber: Extracted from bamboo through a special process, it has natural antibacterial, antifungal, mite-removing, deodorizing and UV-resistant functions. Its moisture absorption, moisture release and breathability all rank first among major textile fibers. It has a soft and smooth hand feel and can be quickly degraded in the natural environment.

o cotton fiber: Made from natural cotton, it has excellent water absorption, warmth retention, heat resistance and alkali resistance. It is non-irritating to the skin, safe and comfortable. After being discarded, it can naturally decompose in the soil, but its degradation rate may be relatively slower than that of bamboo fiber.

o Lyocell Fiber: Sourced from internationally certified renewable wood sources, the production process is a green and fully closed-loop, generating no harmful by-products. It can be 100% degraded and returned to nature. Moreover, the fiber has high strength, is soft and smooth, and has strong moisture absorption, providing users with a comfortable experience.

Bio-based synthetic materials category

O-polylactic acid (PLA) : Made from renewable plant resources such as corn and cassava through processes like fermentation and polymerization, it has excellent biocompatibility and degradability. Under composting conditions, it can be completely degraded within a few months to a year. However, its cost is relatively high, and it lags behind natural fibers in terms of hand feel and water absorption.

O-polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) : It is an intracellular polyester synthesized by microorganisms under certain conditions, featuring excellent properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and optical activity. It can be used to make disposable biodegradable towels. However, the large-scale production and application of PHA are still limited by factors such as cost and output at present.

The advantages of degradable spunlace non-woven fabric towels

Environmental friendliness: It adopts degradable fibers, such as natural fibers (bamboo fiber, cotton fiber, Lyocel fiber, etc.) and bio-based synthetic fibers (polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoates, etc.). After use, they can be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment, effectively reducing the white pollution caused by traditional non-woven towels.

Soft and skin-friendly: The spunlace process causes the towel fibers to entangle with each other, making the fabric surface soft. When in contact with the skin, it is comfortable and smooth, and does not irritate the skin, making it suitable for people of all skin types.

Strong water absorption: The inherent properties of the fiber and the porous structure formed by the spunlace process endow it with excellent water absorption, enabling it to quickly dry water. It is highly effective for wiping sweat off the face, cleaning the body, or absorbing moisture from the surface of objects.

High strength: Although it is a disposable product, the biodegradable spunlace non-woven fabric towel has certain strength and toughness. It is not easy to tear during normal use and can meet the pulling needs of daily cleaning.

Good hygiene: The single-use feature avoids the risk of cross-infection caused by multiple people using it repeatedly, providing users with a more hygienic and safe cleaning experience.
