The exact name of the non-woven fabric should be a non-woven fabric, or a non-woven fabric. Because it is a fabric that does not require spinning woven fabric, only the woven short fibers or filaments are oriented or randomly arranged to form a web structure, which is then reinforced by mechanical, thermal bonding or chemical methods. Nonwoven fabric breaks through the traditional textile principle, and has the characteristics of short process flow, fast production speed, high output, low cost, wide application and many raw materials.

 

The advantages and disadvantages of nonwovens are as follows:

 

Advantages:

 

(1) air permeability.

(2) filterability.

(3) heat preservation.

(4) water absorption.

(5) water resistance. 

(6) stretchability.

(7) not unkempt. 

(8) good hand feeling, softness. 

(9) lightness. 

(10) elastic, can be Restoration. 

(11) No directionality of fabric. 

(12) High productivity and high production speed compared with woven felt. 

(13) Low price, mass production, etc.

 

Disadvantages are: 

 

(1) poor strength and durability compared to woven fabric.

(2) can not be washed like other felt.

(3) fibers are arranged in a certain direction, so it is easy to split from a right angle and so on. Therefore, the recent improvement in production methods has mainly focused on preventing the improvement of division.
