Dear All,
Non-woven fabric is a fabric-like material made from long fibers, bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted. Non-woven materials typically lack strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing. In recent years, nonwovens have become an alternative to polyurethane foam.

What is Non Woven Fabric?
Non-woven fabric is a fabric-like material made from long fibers, bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted. Non-woven materials typically lack strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing. In recent years, nonwovens have become an alternative to polyurethane foam.
How is Non-woven Fabric used?
Beyond simple definitions, these engineered fabrics open up a world of innovative possibilities for all types of industries.
Non-woven may be a limited-life, single-use fabric or a very durable fabric. Non-woven fabrics provide specific functions such as absorbency, liquid repellency, resilience, stretch, softness, strength, flame retardancy, washability, cushioning, filtering, bacterial barriers and sterility. These properties are often combined to create fabrics suited for specific jobs while achieving a good balance between product use-life and cost. They can mimic the appearance, texture and strength of a woven fabric, and can be as bulky as the thickest paddings.
Following are just a few of the properties that can be attained using Non-woven fabrics:
- Absorbency
- Bacterial barrier
- Cushioning
- Filtering
- Flame retardancy
- Liquid repellency
- Resilience
- Softness
- Sterility
- Strength
- Stretch
- Washability
Today, innovations in non-woven fabrics are growing as rapidly as the demand for them, with almost unlimited possibilities for a wide variety of industries, including:
Agricultural seed strips
Apparel linings
Automotive headliners
Automotive upholstery
Carpeting
Civil engineering fabrics
Civil engineering Geo-textiles
Disposable diapers
Envelopes
Filters
House wraps
Household & personal wipes
Hygiene products
Insulation
