Nonwovens change our lives

20 years ago, after a spunbond nonwoven production line in China was established in Guangdong, by 2006, the total output of nonwovens in China exceeded 1.2 million tons, 4 times that of Japan and 6 times that of South Korea. The second largest producer of nonwovens. As a product of modern industrial civilization, nonwovens have entered the homes of ordinary people. Our life and the environment of our livelihood are changing because of it.

According to the plan of the Ministry of Communications, by 2010, China will demand 267,300 tons of automotive textiles. The inquiry shows that the sales volume of textiles for automobiles in China is increasing at a rate of 15% to 20% every year. Domestically produced textiles for automobiles cannot meet the rapidly increasing demand of the automobile industry. There is a large gap in the market, and many need to be imported from abroad. The annual import amount about $4 billion. There are hundreds of types of cars, transport vehicles, mini cars and agricultural vehicles in China.

From wound care gauze, masks, surgical blocking gowns, surgical gowns, and gauze tapes, non-woven products have more uses due to their partition function, antibacterial properties, softness and comfort requirements.

In addition, the field of medical non-woven fabric manufacturers, because of its huge technological content and considerable profits, has also allowed more people to start more in-depth wasteland development. It is understood that the development of medical textiles in various countries in the world is accelerating. 17 textile research institutions in Germany have invested in the research and development of medical textiles. China has also begun the necessary preparations and investment in this field.

For a long time, hygiene products have been required to be soft, drapey, have no effect on the skin, and have good air permeability. While people are constantly seeking comfort, the technological content of sanitary napkins, sanitary pads, training pants, etc. is constantly improving.
