Tela Non Woven (Spanish, corresponding to English “Non Woven Fabric”) is a fiber material that does not require traditional spinning and weaving processes. It is formed by directly reinforcing a fiber web through physical, chemical, or mechanical means. Here are its core features and application analysis:
Core concepts and processes
Definition and Process
Non woven fabrics are made by fiber weaving (dry, wet, or direct spinning) and reinforcement (mechanical needle punching, thermal bonding, water jet or chemical bonding), bypassing the spinning process of traditional textiles. Spunbond is the most mainstream process: polypropylene (PP) is melted and extruded into long filaments, which are then stretched, laid, and reinforced by hot pressing to form high-strength and breathable materials.
Material characteristics
Mainly made of 100% polypropylene (PP), with some using polyester, viscose fibers, etc. Performance, with waterproof, antibacterial, anti-static, breathable, tear resistant and other characteristics, and can be enhanced by adding flame retardants or UV stabilizers.
Parameter Range
Weight: 9-180 g/m ² (commonly 9-150 g/m ²)
Width: 2 cm – 4.2 m (can be spliced up to 45 m)
Color: Over 66 options available, supporting customization.
Main application areas
Medical and hygiene products
The composite SMS (spunbond meltblown spunbond) structure is used to isolate bacteria and liquids, such as SARS protective clothing. The surface of adult diapers, medical bed sheets, and mask liners emphasize moisture absorption, leak prevention, and antibacterial properties.
Agriculture and Horticulture
Covering material: replacing plastic film, used for greenhouse insulation and frost prevention. Black spunbond fabric suppresses weeds, while silver foil layer reflects light and promotes plant growth. Density selection, 17-30 g/m ², directly covering seedlings, 42-60 g/m ², greenhouse frame use.
Automobile and Industry
Automotive interior: luggage compartment lining, door panels, carpet base fabric, due to its lightweight, strong plasticity, and wear resistance. Industrial materials: filter media, sound insulation layer, synthetic leather base fabric (such as shoe materials, luggage).
Clothing and Home Furnishings
Clothing accessories: Adhesive lining (collar lining, shoulder lining), thermal insulation fluff (imitation down cotton), enhance clothing stiffness and warmth.
Emerging fabrics: hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics (such as German Evolon) ®） Made into a sports shirt that combines elasticity and drape, and is washable.
Global Supply Chain and Production
Main production areas: China is the core production area, with Guangdong (such as Rayson) and Fujian enterprises as the main producers, exporting to European, American, and Latin American markets.
Production capacity example:
Liansheng Non woven Fabric Company: 6 production lines, monthly production capacity of 900 tons, supporting OEKO-TEX environmental certification. Customized services, LOGO/packaging/pattern customization, minimum order quantity 5500-11000 kilograms.
Industry Trends
technology upgrade
Application of ultra-fine fibers: Water jet ultra-fine fiber base cloth imitates deer skin, breathable and mold resistant, replacing genuine leather. Composite process: SMS multi-layer structure, spunbond+meltblown composite to enhance functionality (such as medical protection).
Environmental Innovation
Degradable materials: PP non-woven fabric is recyclable, and some companies have developed water-soluble polyurethane to reduce pollution. Recycled materials: NIKE sweatshirts are made of 75% recycled polyester fiber and water jet technology.
Summarize
Tela Non Woven is a multifunctional material that replaces traditional textiles with efficient processes. Its core advantages lie in flexible customization (weight/width/function adjustable), wide applications (medical to automotive fields), and environmental potential. With the breakthrough of ultrafine fibers and composite technology, their penetration in high-end clothing and sustainable products will continue to deepen.
Dongguan Liansheng Non woven Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2020. It is a large-scale non-woven fabric production enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. It can produce various colors of PP spunbond non-woven fabrics with a width of less than 3.2 meters from 9 grams to 300 grams.
