Waterproof reinforced fabric and non-woven fabric are not the same material. Waterproof reinforced fabric is usually made of textiles and waterproof coatings, while non-woven fabrics are formed by melt spinning and perforation, filling, bonding or rolling of chemical fibers.
Characteristics of waterproof reinforced fabric
Waterproof reinforced fabric is a special fiber material made of textiles and waterproof coatings. Compared with other materials, it has the following characteristics:
1. Waterproof: Due to the addition of waterproof coating, waterproof reinforced fabric has excellent waterproof performance.
2. Strong tensile strength: Textiles themselves have good tensile strength, and with the reinforcement of waterproof coating, waterproof reinforced fabric has stronger tensile strength.
3. Diverse textures: Waterproof reinforced fabric can be processed and shaped differently according to different needs to form different textures, so it is suitable for different fields.
Characteristics of non-woven fabrics
Non-woven fabrics are formed by melt spinning and perforation, filling, bonding or rolling of chemical fibers. They do not need to be woven and weaved, and do not have the characteristics of weaving and tissue structure, so they have the following characteristics:
1. Light weight: Since they do not need to be woven and organized, non-woven fabrics are lighter than textiles.
2. Good softness: Non-woven fabrics do not need to be woven, and it is easier to form soft materials.
3. Strong permeability: Since there are more pores in the material, non-woven fabrics have good permeability and are very suitable for some high-demand fields.
The difference between waterproof reinforced fabrics and non-woven fabrics
Although the material properties of both are some special requirements achieved by coating, there are still great differences between waterproof reinforced fabrics and non-woven fabrics due to different production and manufacturing methods:
1. Different production methods: Waterproof reinforced fabrics are composited by textiles and waterproof coatings; while non-woven fabrics are formed by melt spinning and perforation, filling, bonding or rolling of chemical fibers.
2. Different application areas: Waterproof reinforced fabric is mainly suitable for some areas with high waterproof requirements, such as advertising materials, light boxes, etc.; while non-woven fabrics are more suitable for hygiene, medical care, home furnishing, etc.
3. Different properties: Waterproof reinforced fabric is a composite material, and the bonding degree between textiles and coatings is relatively high, so its strength and toughness are relatively good; while non-woven fabrics are mainly made of chemical fibers as raw materials, and have better air permeability and toughness.
Conclusion
Although both waterproof reinforced fabrics and non-woven fabrics have waterproof properties, their production methods and application areas are different, so there are still great differences between the two. I hope this article can help readers better understand and understand these two materials.
