Non-woven fabric is a fabric made from Polypropylene particles – synthetic resin, depending on the purpose of use, there will be some other recycled components. These materials are spun into separate fibers and bonded together by chemical solvents or mechanical heat from modern machines to create fabrics that are light, thin, porous and very durable. This fabric was born and named VKD (PP Spunbond) because it does not go through the weaving process like other ordinary fabrics.
According to some documents, the VKD type was created by accident by travelers traveling through the desert. For fear of hurting their feet, they put a bundle of wool on their sandals to avoid the pain. Then, the fibers are knitted together, forming a fabric structure due to pressure from the feet, humidity and high temperature in the air. In the nineteenth century, England was the leading country in textiles. textile production.
In the textile process, a large amount of fiber is wasted during cutting. This was discovered by textile engineer Garnett. From there, he invented a special device for cutting excess fiber into yarn, using it to make pillow intestines. Some time later, Garnett studied and improved them by sticking them together with glue. It was the forerunner of the non-woven fabric that many people love today.
CHARACTERISTICS OF NON-WOVEN FABRIC
No need to weave but still become fabric
VKD has a different characteristic from ordinary fabrics, this characteristic is evident in its name. VKD is formed on the basis of using the thermal effects of modern machinery or solvents to bind and link separate fibers together without weaving.
Friendly to people and the environment
The safety and friendliness of nonwovens products for humans and the environment is shown through its application in practice. Non-woven fabrics are trusted and used to make products that require high safety such as: masks, tea bags, sling bags, sanitary napkins, baby diapers, wet wipes, face towels, bath towels and many more. other items … Items that frequently come into contact with human skin, especially facial skin need high safety and friendliness, and are easy to decompose after use. The nonwoven fabric trusted and used to make these products has proven its friendliness to the environment and people.
Color uniformity
This characteristic is the preeminent property of Polypropylene – color consistency. This is a special material, and it is not produced without the usual weaving and dyeing process, so color is the biggest concern of everyone. Everyone is worried that the finished fabric will produce uneven colors, light and dark places.
However, that did not happen, but on the contrary, the color consistency of non-woven fabrics was better than other fabrics and became the strength of this fabric. To check the color uniformity of the fabric with the naked eye, the simplest way is to take the fabric to a well-lit place, where the sun is, you will be able to see the different light and dark on the fabric.
Allows printing on the surface
Widely used in life, printing on the fabric surface is inevitable. Depending on the business model and the needs of the user, it is necessary to print different images and letters. However, printing on non-woven bags has higher requirements than ordinary fabrics. Necessary requirements for companies manufacturing non-woven bags is to have professional handling skills with non-woven fabrics to ensure proper ink coverage, ink thickness, and color for printing on the surface. fabric creates natural images with the most standard and beautiful colors and designs, especially paying attention to the type of product that needs to be printed in multiple colors.
BENEFITS & DISEASE
DEFECT
Life expectancy is not high
The service life of non-woven fabrics is not high due to its good absorbent properties and easy decomposition in its natural environment.
Poor storage
Non-woven fabrics have poor durability and are prone to change in properties when exposed to water.
ADVANTAGE
Non-woven fabric is loved & widely used due to its many preeminent features.
High strength, good bearing
Due to its very high durability.
Good bearing capacity, can withstand loads from 3 to 10 kg depending on the needs of each product.
Environmental friendliness
A huge plus. Safe for humans and the environment, easy to decompose in the natural environment.
Low price
The cost is much cheaper than similar materials such as paper, canvas, woven fabric, etc.
Easy to print
Because it is easy to print and does not fade. It is used as a very effective means of advertising.
