Development prospect of medical nonwovens

release time | 2017-05-09

Nonwovens, also known as non-woven, is made of directional or random fiber, is a new generation of environmentally friendly materials, with moisture, breathable, flexible, light, non-combustion, easy to break down, non-toxic non-irritating, rich colors, Low, recyclable and so on. Such as the use of polypropylene (pp material) pellets as raw materials, high temperature melting, spinning, paving, hot coiling continuous production from one step. Due to the appearance of cloth and some of the performance and said it cloth.
    We may occasionally hear PP nonwovens and spunlaced nonwovens What is the difference between the two?
    PP non-woven fabrics refers to the raw material is non-woven PP, Spunlaced non-woven cloth that is the production process, the main difference between the two reflected in the process, the specific out of the cloth is not essentially different.
In fact, non-woven fabrics from the process can also be divided into many kinds, because of its own advantages in agriculture, industry and other aspects are widely used. Especially non-woven in the medical and health applications.
Spunlaced nonwoven fabrics are sprayed onto a layer or layers of fibrous webs by means of a high pressure water fine water flow so that the fibers are entangled with each other so that the web can be reinforced with certain strength. Spunlaced non-woven raw materials more expensive, more delicate cloth, is widely used in health care and beauty, chemical protection and other fields.
    With the national policy liberalization and population aging trend, the future non-woven industry development momentum is good. Although seemingly eight pole can not beat the problem, but the actual has inextricably linked.
On the one hand, in the face of the aging population growth, medical and social services will face a lot of pressure, the corresponding drive medical materials consumption. Elderly spending on medical supplies is also a considerable number of figures. At present, China's elderly over 60 years old has exceeded 200 million, the elderly immunity and resistance is generally low, so the basic protection of supplies corresponding to the larger demand, especially one-time environmental protection masks, surgical clothing, surgical hats, wounds Care and so on. These expanding needs will result in medical health goods inflation, and the current disposable medical materials are mainly from non-woven fabrics, so non-woven industry will be disguised to be driven development.
On the other hand, the national open two-child policy, maternal and child supplies market demand. Since the opening policy of the two children, the number of newborns has increased, the market for some baby health supplies, women's health supplies increased demand, indirectly led to non-woven industry development.
In addition, non-woven fabrics as a new generation of environmentally friendly materials, its use is not only medical above, I believe that the future development prospects of non-woven industry immeasurable.
