Fibrous materials of nonwoven wet wipes
 

 

Nonwoven fabrics can be manufactured from any type of fiber. Natural fibers (cotton, jute, flax, wool), synthetic fibers (polyester (PES), polypropylene (PP), polyamide, rayon), and special fibers (glass, carbon, nanofibers, bicomponent, superabsorbent fibers, etc.) are among the most regularly used fibers. This knowledge will help you comprehend these fibers.

 

1- Natural fibers
Natural fibers are preferred for a variety of reasons, including their eco-friendliness and resilience. Here are some common types of natural fibers:

 

 

Characteristics

Advantages

Disadvantages

Cotton

Cotton is made up mostly of cellulose, an insoluble organic component essential to plant structure, and is a soft and fluffy substance.

Comfortable

Good absorbency

Good color retention

Well printable

Machine-washable

Dry-cleanable

Good strength

Well drapeable and

Easy to handle and sew

Not a particularly sturdy cloth

Absorbent – heavy and slow to dry, as well as readily stained

Lacks flexibility and so creases badly

Expensive

Line

Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and highly breathable.

Reduce perspiration.

Radiation protection.

Inhibit bacteria.

Linen is usually a dark color and difficult to dye

Not anti-wrinkle

Jute

Jute is a coarse, natural plant fiber extracted from the jute plant that is used to weave garments such as burlap.

Great antistatic properties.

Cheap in market.

Low thermal conductivity.

Jute’s resistance to creasing is very poor.

When wet, Jute loses its strength.

 

 2 – Regenerated fiber
To produce regenerated fibers a chemical is added to remove the cellulose fibers from the plant-based cellulose fibers, such as wood pulp. The classification of the fiber is based on the chemical solvent system employed to extract the fiber; therefore, regenerated fibers contain both natural and synthetic components. Here are some popular types of regenerated fiber:

 

 

Characteristics

Advantages

Disadvantages

Viscous fiber/Tencel

Viscose is a semi-synthetic Viscose fabric made from wood pulp, used as an alternative to silk. This material has a coating and creates a smoothness similar to high-end, luxurious materials. It is a versatile fabric that is used for many different purposes from clothing to cords.

Good absorbency & strength.

Soft similar to natural fibers like silk, cotton.

Because of its low permeability, it is hypoallergenic.

Light and airy and derived from natural resources.

Fabric made from viscose may shrink with each wash.

The fabric quality degrades when exposed to direct sunlight.

Bamboo fiber

Bamboo fiber is a cellulosic fiber regenerated from bamboo. The production of starchy pulp from bamboo stems and leaves involves alkaline hydrolysis and multi-phase bleaching.

Ultra-soft fabric.

Good for hot weather.

Powerful insulating.

Bamboo fabric dries slowly.

Bamboo is costlier than cotton.

Compared to linen and other robust fabrics, bamboo can shrink during washing.

Modal fiber

Modal is a semi-synthetic fabric made from oak pulp, often mixed with other fibers such as cotton and spandex for added strength. This fabric is considered high-grade textile because of its softness and higher cost than cotton or viscose.

Modal fabric is soft, vibrant, and brightly colored.

The durability and strength of synthetic fibers.

Modal fabric has superior form and structural stability compared to cotton fiber.

Expensive production cost

Use over time will have the phenomenon of fluff loss of aesthetics.

Modal is difficult to blend with other fabrics

Sensitive skin may be allergic to modal.

 

 3 – Synthetic polymer
In the nonwovens sector, synthetic fibers (man-made fibers) are the most common. Compared with natural fibers, man-made fibers have fewer impurities, low production costs, and higher stability.
There are many synthetic polymers used in the production of nonwovens such as PP, PE, PET, NYLON, PA, polyester, PCL, PLA, etc. The table below will provide information about the two most popular fibers, Polyester and Polypropylene.

 

 

Characteristics

Advantages

Disadvantages

Polyester

This type of fiber is composed of esters, which are compounds composed of acids and alcohol. When any of these fundamental molecules are joined, polyesters are formed.

The physical properties of polyester fibers are important in the production of nonwovens:

Fibers length is easily adjustable.

Low cost.

Strong, lightweight.

Easily dyeable and wrinkle-resistant.

Lack of breathability.

Lack of moisture absorption.

Not ecologically friendly.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene is a polymer derived from the monomer propylene. Polypropylene is considered the “steel” of plastics due to its versatility and adaptability to a wide range of uses.

Resistance to microorganisms.

High tenacity.

Surface smoothness and hardness.

Highly flammable.

Easily affected by UV degradation.

Typical Fiber types in spun-lace for wet wipes
 

Here is a list of the typical fiber types that can be found in wet wipes and their properties 

 

Polyester (PET) & Polypropylene (PP)
This plastic fibers are made through extruding molten polymer through small holes. They are widely used in producing wet wipes as they are renowned for having good strength. The disadvantage to these fibers is they have poor absorbency due to being naturally hydrophobic.
 

Viscose (Rayon in USA) & Tencel
These are both made from wood pulp or bamboo pulp and therefore come from a renewable raw material. They naturally have good absorbency and strength properties and are known for their softness. They tend to be used in applications where they prevent irritation to the skin.

 

Wood pulp
The main types of woodpulp are softwood and hardwood; which are 3mm and 1mm in length respectively. They have a high surface area and a flat ribbon-like morphology which gives them good cleaning properties. They also have good absorbency but as a downside tend to have poor strength.

 

Cotton
The fiber length of cotton varies greatly with each seed, from 3mm to 30mm. In comparison to Viscose it has a better absorbent capacity and wicking but it does not have the same level of softness. Cotton is known for its good cleaning properties due to having a flat ribbon-like surface.

 

Selecting The Appropriate Material For Wet Wipes
 

The intended application, performance specifications, and financial limitations are some of the elements that influence the decision between these two materials for wet wipes. To assist you in making an informed choice, take into account the following:

 

Application

Take into account how your wet wipes will be used specifically. Spunlace might be the best option if you’re making wet wipes for personal hygiene, like baby wipes or makeup remover wipes, because of its great absorbency and softness. However, due to its strength and resistance to ripping, spunbond might be a better option for industrial or heavy-duty cleaning wipes. Keep in mind that this characteristic is really crucial when it comes to infants and babies due to their soft skin and they are highly vulnerable to infections.

 

Absorbency

Determine how absorbent your wet wipes need to be. Spunlace is a better choice if they need to absorb and hold a lot of moisture in your wipes. However, spunbond’s other characteristics can make it a good option if absorbance is not your main concern for your application.

 

Environmental Impact

Spunlace is a more environmentally friendly option because it degrades naturally, making it a better choice if your product prioritizes environmental sustainability. Spunbond is less expensive, but it could not be as compatible with environmental objectives.

Spunlace non woven fabric manufacturing process

 

Nonwoven Airlaid Paper

The manufacturing process of spunlace non woven fabric for wet wipes involves several stages.

 

Fiber preparation

Firstly, fibers are fed, weighed, and fine-opened through a blending box and a fine-opening machine. When choosing fibers for spunlace nonwoven fabrics, factors such as cost, machinability, and the finished product’s intended use are considered. Both natural and chemical fibers can be used in the manufacturing process.

 

Mixed carding and fiber web formation

The next stage is mixed carding, which evenly distributes the fibers and forms a single fiber. This fiber is then blended and has impurities removed to form a fiber net.

The purpose of fiber web formation is to create a loose structure from the fiber material. This can be achieved through various methods, including dry laid, wet laid, or polymer extrusion web formation.

 

Stretching and water jet strengthening

Strengthening the fiber web is carried out using a process involving stretching and a water jet to enhance its mechanical properties and appearance.

 

Functional Finish

Finally, a functional finish is applied through mechanical and chemical methods to improve the nonwoven fabric’s performance, function, and appearance. Coating and laminating processes can also be used for spunlace nonwoven fabrics to improve their serviceability and lifespan.
 

 

Which Type Of Spunlace Nonwoven Is Best For Wet Wipes?

 

When it comes to choosing the best spunlace nonwoven fabric for wet wipes, there are several options available, each with unique qualities. The type of spunlace nonwoven you choose will depend on the specific needs of your product and its intended use.

 

For example, if you're creating a baby wipe, a cotton-based spunlace nonwoven fabric would be an excellent choice. This type of fabric is super soft, highly absorbent, and gentle on delicate skin.

 

On the other hand, if you're creating a cleaning wipe, you might opt for a spunlace nonwoven made from a blend of polyester and wood pulp. This type of fabric is strong, durable, and perfect for tackling tough messes.

 

If you're making a facial wipe or beauty product, a viscose and polyester blend would be an excellent choice. This type of fabric has a luxurious, silky feel that is gentle on the skin.

 

And if you're looking to create an eco-friendly wet wipe, a spunlace nonwoven made from bamboo fibers would be a great choice. Not only is it biodegradable, but it's also soft, strong, and absorbent.

 

Ultimately, the key to choosing the best spunlace nonwoven for your wet wipes is to consider the specific needs of your product and select a fabric that will deliver the desired results.
