Non-wovens are on of the most versatile materials, which provide specific functions such as absorbency, liquid repellency, resilience, stretch, softness strength, flame retardancy, washability, bacterial barrier, filtering and sterility.

ALL IN ONE FABRIC, which makes these a preferred choice for a host of medical and related application.

Today's NON-WOVENS

Today's non-wovens can be called engineering fabrics. They provide specific functions such as :

• Absorbency

• Liquid Repellency

• Resiliance

• Stretch

• Softness

• Strength

• Flame Retardency

• Washability

• Cushioning

• Filtering

• Bacterial Barrier

• Sterility

USER ACCEPTANCE OF NON-WOVENS

Non-woven Products have gained users acceptance because of performance advantage such as :

• Convenience of disposable diapers

• The improvement in aseptic technique made possible by non-woven surgical packs and gowns

• And the mouldability of non-wovens

• Non-wovens can be engineered as cost effective substitutes for the traditionally used textiles.

• The success that the non-woven products have achieved comes from the ability of the industry's technologies to produce materials with tailor-made performance and economic advantage.

MAJOR PRODUCTION MATHODS

The Major technique most commonly used to produce non-wovens are :-

Air Laid

fabrics formed by also laying and bonding

ABSORBENT HYGIENE PRODUCTS

1. BABY DIAPERS : Disposable diapers perform much batter than re-usable ones & are more convenient

2. TRAINING PANTS : Highly absorbent panty-like products designed to facilitate toddler toilet training

3. SANITARY NAPKINS : Non-wovens function as cover stocks, wicking layers, absorbent cores and barrier layer.

4. TAMPONS : Non-woven processes are  used to form and compress absorbent fibers into compact shapes designed for comfortable insertion and effective protection.
