What kind of non-woven fabric can be used in mattresses?

2022-05-06

Non-woven fabrics contain no interwoven strands but do have an organized internal structure. These nonwoven fabrics are made by placing fibers together, then using heat, chemicals, or pressure to combine them into a cohesive fabric-like material. As opposed to traditional materials, such as cotton, linen, wool, and silk; non-woven fabrics do not necessitate weaving or knitting Felt one of the most common examples of non-woven fabric. It's made by agitating fibers in a solution until they interlock into a dense textile. Nonwoven fabrics are lighter and weaker than woven or knit fabrics. Given their weak memory and laundering durability as a material, non-woven materials are not suitable for durable clothing production. Most non-woven fabrics are used for a disposable application. But there are also advantages to the use of non-woven fabrics given their versatility and inexpensive production costs.

Non-woven fabrics are used widely in different industries. In the medical profession, non-woven fabrics create isolation gowns, surgical scrubs, and medical packaging. In the daily life, they are used for packing, spring bed, baby diaper, mask, Tea bag and so on.

Mattress construction is more complicated than putting a few springs together and wrapping it in foam, and non-woven fabrics are used in virtually every phase of the process. Non woven fabrics are designed to have high tensile strength, to be resistant to water, and to serve as insolation or padding.

In mattress construction, non woven fabric are used from top to bottom. We offer Flange, Quiltback, Dust Cover, Topper, Stitchbond ect. Our Materials are strong enough to withstand the constant pressure and friction from continual use, they also help to keep the sharp ends of springs from puncturing softer material. Non woven fabric are also used in finishing, perfect as mattress coverings, pillow-tops, and as backing for decorative finishing fabric. These durable and stress-resistant fabrics can also be treated for heat and flame resistance, another important quality in the construction of mattresses. In fashion, non-woven fabrics are mainly used for the creation of interlinings, insulation and protection clothing, industrial workwear, chemical defense suits, shoe components, etc.

Spun-melt non-woven fabric:  Spun-melt is a generic term describing the manufacturing of nonwoven webs directly from thermoplastic polymers.
It encompasses 2 processes
1. Spun-bond Non-woven
2. Melt-Blown Non-woven

Spun-laid (bonded) Non-woven: Polymer granules are extruded into filaments through so called spinnerets. The continuous filaments are stretched and quenched before being deposited on conveyor belt to form a uniform web. The spun-laid process results into nonwovens with an increased strength compared to carding, due to the attenuation of the filaments. The downside is that the choice of raw materials is more restricted. Co-extrusion of two components leads to bico fibers, either adding more properties to the web or allowing air-through bonding. Please note that the word spunbond is reserved for thermo bonded spun-laid.
