Non-woven polymer refers to a type of fabric that is made from polymer fibers, which are bonded together using mechanical, chemical, or thermal processes. The fibers can be made from a variety of polymers such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, and others.
Non-woven polymers are lightweight, strong, and durable, and can be made in a variety of thicknesses, textures, and colors. They are often used in a wide range of applications such as medical products, filtration, packaging, and construction materials.
Some of the most common uses of non-woven polymers include:
- Medical products such as surgical gowns, face masks, and bandages
- Filtration products such as air and liquid filters
- Packaging materials such as shopping bags and shipping envelopes
- Construction materials such as roofing underlayment, insulation, and soundproofing
- Personal hygiene products such as diapers and sanitary napkins
- Agriculture products such as crop covers and weed barriers
Non-woven polymers can be produced by various methods such as melt-blowing, spunbonding, and thermal bonding. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of method depends on the desired properties of the final product and the cost of production.
