Nonwovens, also known as non-woven fabrics, are made of oriented or random fibers and are a new generation of environmentally friendly materials with moisture resistance, breathability, flexibility, light weight, non-combustion, easy decomposition, Low cost, recyclable and so on.
These excellent features make non-woven fabrics are widely used in medical and health industries, industry, agriculture, home decoration and other fields, almost all walks of life can see her figure, non-woven fabric against the star aura, ushered in her Golden age.
First, non-woven fabric used in diapers
Diapers, as opposed to traditional cotton diapers, refer to disposable disposable diapers which can be divided into two categories: baby diapers and adult incontinence products, depending on the user group.
With the implementation of our two-child policy alone, there has been tremendous business opportunities for the baby diaper market. In recent years, infant diaper penetration increased significantly, the potential market size of nearly 50 billion. At the same time, China's population is getting more and more aging. The population aged over 60 is growing at a rate of about 7 million annually. With the improvement of national spending power, the acceleration of the aging process and the change of the concept of elderly consumers , China's adult incontinence products will usher in a spurt-style development in the context of low penetration rate and rapid growth of purchasing power.
Baby diaper market steady expansion, the current penetration rate of 58%, 2018 is expected to be close to 50 billion yuan. Adult diapers market is booming, the domestic adult diapers market has more than 4 billion yuan, but the market penetration rate is still less than 3%. According to the world average penetration rate of 12% of the level of calculation, China's adult incontinence market size of 100 billion yuan. Combined with the baby diaper market and the adult diaper market, the total disposable diaper market will reach nearly RMB60 billion in 2018. Industry potential is huge.
The materials for making diapers usually include non-woven fabrics, toilet paper, absorbent core layers (absorbent resin and fluff pulp), base film (PE film), rubber band, adhesive tape (front + left and right), waist elastic band and the like. Although diapers on the market today is full of styles, the basic structure is similar. Generally speaking, the diaper can be specifically divided from top to bottom into the surface coating layer, the diversion layer, the absorption core layer and the bottom four parts, of which the absorption core layer is the most important part:
In the production process, diapers and diapers compared to reduce the waist tape and peripheral molding process, the process is relatively simple. The following we take the basic type of diapers as an example, a brief description of how to use the above materials to produce a finished diaper products:
Core technology: absorption, back to see, prevent leakage
An important indicator that determines the comfort level of a diaper is dryness. It has three major indices: absorption rate, reabsorption and side leakage. Among them, the absorption rate and re-infiltration depends mainly on the "absorbent core", while the leak-proof ability depends on the diaper "guide layer" design. Therefore, these two major parts have also become the key to the success of diapers.
1、Absorbent core layer
The absorbent core determines the absorbency of the diaper. Currently on the market the most powerful absorbent diapers can absorb fluids equivalent to hundreds or even thousands of times their volume. This remarkable absorption is attributed to the absorbent core in diapers, which consists of two important raw materials: superabsorbent and fluff pulp. Among them, superabsorbent resin with water absorption capacity, water absorption speed, water retention ability and non-toxic tasteless and other superior performance. Fluff pulp its own good fiber properties can play a high role in the diversion and dispersion, so that the liquid absorbed into the core quickly spread evenly, thus avoiding the occurrence of gel blocking phenomenon.
2、Diversion layer
The diaper determines the diaper side leakage capacity. Side leaks easily lead to discomfort and subsequent cleaning of infants or the elderly, is one of the major concerns of users. The deflector layer is a layer of special nonwoven material placed between the topsheet and the absorbent core layer that effectively helps the liquid to quickly and inwardly diffuse and distribute longitudinally from the topsheet wrapper to allow liquids to quickly exit The user's skin is evenly absorbed by the core layer without locally thickening the diaper as a result of concentrated aspiration, preventing subsequent urine from being absorbed by the SAP. Therefore, the design of the diversion layer is equally important. The design of the diversion layer is unscientific and it is easy for the urine to flow to the diaper at various positions along the momentum and cause side leakage.
In addition to absorbing the key design of the core and deflector layers, Nonwoven Fabric is also a big difference between disposable diapers and traditional cotton diapers. The non-woven fabric is coated on the outer part of the absorbent core. The traditional fabric is made of natural fibers such as silk, cotton and wool, while the non-woven fabric is usually made of plastic resin, such as short fibers of nylon, polyester, acrylic, Filament orientation or random support columns to form a network structure, and then use mechanical, thermal or chemical methods such as reinforcement. Nonwovens with moisture, breathable, flexible, light weight and other characteristics, especially for absorbent hygiene products. Now on the market for diapers non-woven functional classification is increasingly refined, such as the surface of hydrophilic non-woven, non-woven and non-woven, impermeable layer of non-woven fabrics to meet the needs of different consumers.
Ruize masterbatch, non-professional
Non-woven diapers in the raw materials are white masterbatch, soft masterbatch, hydrophilic masterbatch, masterbatch quality determines the non-woven hydrophilic, soft, color and other properties. Ruizhe specializes in diaper with white masterbatch, soft masterbatch research and development, is committed to a new height in the industry.
Second, the application of non-woven in agriculture
Nonwovens are effectively used to increase the productivity of crops, orchards and greenhouses. Its protectiveness means reducing the need for pesticides and keeping manual labor at a minimum.
The use of agricultural nonwovens to cover crops on land has increased the yield and quality of crops. Placing very light and soft agricultural nonwovens on the seedbed creates a microclimate that controls the heat and humidity and protects plants from unfavorable weather conditions and pests and accelerates their growth.
In capillary network applications, nonwovens promote the healthy growth of flowers and vegetables in greenhouses by using soilless cultivation methods.
Application of agricultural nonwovens
The advantages of agricultural nonwovens
● fabric with high strength, durability and flexibility
● Effectively prevent frost and pest
● excellent permeability
● help control weeds growth
● Apertures between agricultural non-woven fibers intersect are large enough to allow air and water to reach crops, but small enough to prevent insects. This protection allows plants and crops to grow healthy without the use of pesticides and herbicides.
