What is the difference between non-woven fabrics and melt-blown fabrics?
Although non-woven fabrics and melt-blown fabrics are both textile fabrics, their processing and manufacturing processes are different. In addition, non-woven fabrics and melt-blown fabrics also have functional characteristics. There is a big difference, and the main materials for processing non-woven fabrics and meltblown fabrics are also different!
1. The materials are different. Non-woven fabrics are mostly made of polypropylene pellets. Meltblown cloth is mainly made of polypropylene as raw material;
2. Different functions. Non-woven fabrics are moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, lightweight, non-combustible, simple to differentiate, non-toxic and non-irritating, and can be recycled. Meltblown cloth has many vacancies, loose structure, good wrinkle resistance, and good filterability;
3. Different uses. The non-woven fabric has no warp and weft threads, it is easy to cut and sew, and it is light in weight and simple in shape, which is deeply loved by handicraft enthusiasts.
A non-woven fabric is a fabric that does not require spinning or weaving, but only needs to be oriented and randomly arranged to form a mesh structure, which is then reinforced by mechanical, thermal bonding or chemical methods. Instead of weaving one by one, it physically binds the fibers directly together. Non-woven fabrics break the traditional textile principle and have the characteristics of short process flow, fast production speed, high output value and low cost.
Meltblown cloth is mainly made of polypropylene as the main material, and the diameter of its fibers can reach 1-5 microns. The structure has many vacancies, is relatively loose, and has good wrinkle resistance, so that the meltblown cloth has good filterability, shielding, thermal insulation and oil absorption. It can be used in many fields such as air, liquid filtration, barrier, absorption, masks, warmth retention, oil-absorbing materials and wipes.
