What is drop molding spunlace nonwoven fabric?

Drop-molded spunlace non-woven fabric is a kind of non-woven fabric material that has undergone special treatment. The following is its related introduction:

Material and craftsmanship

Spunlace nonwoven fabric: This is the basic material of drop molding spunlace nonwoven fabric. It is a non-woven fabric formed by combing fibers into a web and then using high-pressure water jets to entangle the fibers with each other. The non-woven fabric produced by this process features softness, breathability, high strength, good moisture absorption and other characteristics. Moreover, the fibers are evenly distributed and the hand feel is comfortable.

Drop molding treatment: Based on spunlace non-woven fabric, liquid plastic or rubber and other high-molecular materials are dropped onto the surface of the non-woven fabric through the drop molding process. The materials of drop molding usually have good wear resistance, water resistance and anti-slip properties, etc. By controlling the pattern, density and thickness of the drop molding, different functions and appearance effects can be endowed to non-woven fabrics.

Characteristics and Applications

Features: The drop-molded spunlace nonwoven fabric combines the advantages of spunlace nonwoven fabric and drop-molded materials. It retains the softness, breathability and moisture absorption of nonwoven fabric, while enhancing the wear resistance, anti-slip and water resistance of the drop-molded part. Its surface has a certain three-dimensional effect and texture, and its appearance is beautiful and diverse.

Application: This material is often used to make various products that require anti-slip, wear-resistant and waterproof functions, such as anti-slip MATS, automotive interiors, shoe materials, medical supplies, industrial filtration materials, etc. For instance, in the interior of a car, it can be used to make seat covers, floor MATS, etc., which not only provide a comfortable touch but also play a role in anti-slip and waterproof. In the medical field, it can be used to make surgical gowns, bed sheets, etc. Its waterproof performance helps prevent liquid penetration, protecting patients and medical staff.

How to choose the right drop molding spunlace non-woven fabric material?

When choosing the appropriate spunlace non-woven fabric material, multiple factors need to be considered. Here are some key points:

Clarify the purpose of use

Usage: Different uses have different requirements for material properties. If it is used to make anti-slip MATS, the anti-slip and wear-resistant properties of the material need to be given priority consideration. When used in the medical field, attention should be paid to its hygiene, breathability and water resistance, etc.

Usage environment: Consider the environmental conditions in which the material is used, such as temperature, humidity, and contact with chemical substances, etc. When used in high-temperature environments, the material needs to have good heat resistance. In a humid environment, materials with good water resistance and mold resistance should be selected.

Consider the material properties

Physical properties

Strength: This includes tensile strength, tear strength, etc. Materials with appropriate strength should be selected based on the tensile and tear forces they may withstand during actual use. For instance, the plastic-coated spunlace nonwoven fabric used in industrial filtration needs to have a relatively high tensile strength to withstand the pressure during the filtration process.

Softness: If used in products that come into contact with the skin, such as clothing and medical supplies, softness is an important indicator. Soft materials can provide better comfort.

Breathability: For application scenarios that require breathability, such as shoe materials and automotive interiors, good breathability can make users feel comfortable and prevent the accumulation of stuffiness and moisture.

Chemical properties

Chemical resistance: If the material may come into contact with chemical substances, such as when used in industrial cleaning or chemical environments, a drop molding spunlace non-woven fabric with good chemical resistance should be selected to prevent the material from being corroded or damaged by chemical substances.

Hygiene: Materials used in food packaging, medical care and other fields must comply with relevant hygiene standards, be non-toxic, odorless and have certain antibacterial properties to ensure safe use.

Analyze the drop molding process and quality

Drop molding pattern and density: Select the appropriate drop molding pattern and density based on product design and functional requirements. For example, anti-slip MATS require dense drip plastic patterns to provide a better anti-slip effect; For some decorative products that emphasize aesthetics, the drip molding patterns need to take into account their coordination with the overall design.

The quality of drop molding: High-quality drop molding should be firmly combined with non-woven fabric, have a smooth surface, and be free of defects such as bubbles and cracks. The quality of the drop molding can be evaluated by observing the sample or conducting a simple peel test to ensure that the drop molding part does not fall off or get damaged during use.

Evaluate suppliers and costs

Supplier reputation: Choose suppliers with a good reputation and strong production capabilities. They usually can provide products of stable quality and offer guarantees in terms of after-sales service and technical support. The credibility of a supplier can be evaluated by checking its qualification certificates, customer reviews, industry reputation, etc.

Cost factor: Under the premise of meeting the usage requirements, consider the cost of materials. Including the purchase price of materials, transportation cost, storage cost, etc. At the same time, the performance and service life of the materials should be comprehensively considered. Sometimes, materials with higher performance and longer service life are chosen. Although the purchase price is higher, they may be more cost-effective in the long run.
