According to the degree of durability, clothing is divided into durability and non-durability (one-time) two categories. At present, non-woven fabrics in the application of clothing mainly concentrated in the field of non-durable clothing, durable clothing applications are rarely reported.

Nonwovens in the application of non-durable clothing has been very popular, such as spunlace medical protective clothing, PP disposable spunbond protective clothing and SMS medical protective clothing. At present, the development of new products in this area includes two aspects: First, the existing materials in the field of clothing applications in the new expansion; Second, the development of new non-woven fabrics.

Non-durable non-woven fabrics

SMS nonwovens is a composite product of spunbond and meltblown, which has the advantages of high strength, good filtration performance, no adhesive, non-toxic and so on. It has played an important role in the field of medical and industrial filter materials. The use of SMS breathable, does not produce fiber dust, to prevent the human body and the outside world for particle exchange characteristics, its use in pharmaceutical, bio-engineering, optoelectronic processing, electrical components and chips need a highly clean production environment. Spunbond nonwovens are made of high-strength continuous filament, a large proportion of disposable protective clothing market, the latest development is in the spunbond non-woven production process by adding special additives or finishing, so Products with fire-retardant, anti-static, radiation, hydrophobic moisture, antibacterial, warm and other functions.


In the new fiber development, water-soluble non-woven fabrics is an environmentally friendly products, its scope of application is gradually expanding. The use of polyvinyl alcohol water-soluble fiber production spunlace non-woven fabrics, is the production of radiation, anti-pollution clothing good material. In order to increase the protective effect, but also with the water film composite, to increase the protective clothing barrier properties. In addition, in the use of new fibers, foreign also developed in the non-woven production process by adding super-absorbent fiber (SAF) technology. This SAF-free nonwoven fabric has a particularly soft soft feel and absorbent properties, used as a personal underwear to wear quickly absorb the body's sweat, increase clothing and the human body between the micro-environment comfort.

In the development of new composite nonwovens, the United States developed a new type of cotton fiber composite non-woven fabrics, the surface layer of cotton and polypropylene fiber thermal bonding non-woven fabrics, and spunbond cloth composed of two or three composite materials , The product feel similar to the cotton knitted fabric, with good strength and elongation, water absorption and water retention, wicking speed, the advantages of small pilling, after finishing, the elongation of 50% when the instantaneous elastic recovery Rate can reach 83% to 93%, suitable for the production of medical isolation and disposable underwear. In addition, the US military developed a new generation of biochemical protective clothing, make full use of woven, knitted and non-woven fabric of the advantages of three fabrics, protective clothing outer layer is anti-tear nylon / cotton fiber poplin, after water repellent treatment; There is a non-woven fabric of activated carbon; the innermost layer is Tricot warp knitted fabric. Compared with the existing protective clothing, this clothing to the military to provide anti-chemical protection at the same time, but also increased the clothing portability, and reduce costs, can withstand at least 3 times washing.
