Nonwovens Are The "Dark Horse" Of The Market.

Nowadays, nonwovens have become the "dark horse" in the development of the entire wiping cloth market. The development and development of nonwoven wipes in China has just begun, and most enterprises choose to import foreign technology and equipment, and the production technology is kept secret.

　　 Wipe cloth It is an essential cleaning material in industrial production and daily life. Today, the nonwovens substrate has become the "dark horse" in the development of the entire wiping cloth market, and the rapid expansion of personal care products, household cleaning products, industrial cleaning products and other markets has promoted the rapid growth of non-woven fabric wipes. Nonwovens producers and wipe merchants have invested heavily in promoting growth.

Spunlaced products dominate the mainstream

In Europe and the United States and other developed countries, Spunlaced wipes are favored by consumers for their superior performance and occupy a large proportion in the entire cloth market. The research and development of high performance nonwoven wipes is in the leading position in developed countries such as Japan, the United States and Europe. It has quite mature technology and has been widely applied.

The latest Wramp developed by Kuraray company in Japan Spunlaced wipes The 100% layered double component composite fiber is split into many superfine fibers by Spunlaced technology. The wiping cloth is very soft and has excellent cleaning effect and good water absorption. The weight of water absorption can reach 8 times that of self weight.

Sontara MicroPure AP wiping cloth developed by DoPont company of USA Polyester fiber Mixed with wood pulp in 45/55 ratio, the product is made of rubbing cloth by spunlace process. The product has strong tenacious tensile property and durability, and good air permeability. According to the test results, the liquid absorbency of this cloth can reach 348%.

In Germany, the company uses viscose and polyester blended, Spunlaced reinforcement, and hydrophilic coating and perforation finishing on the wiping cloth. Its product is soft and its water absorption can reach 5~6 times.

The German Innovate company uses melted shotcrete to produce new nonwoven wipes. This cloth is made of polypropylene, and its hydrophilic finishing is made by impregnating and coating. It improves the strength of melted cloth by embossing it locally and melting it. The wiping cloth has high strength, good water absorption, very soft handle, and the hot pressed flower pattern is very beautiful.

Domestic investment in R & D

According to the Euromonitor InterNational survey, since 2013, China's wipe market has been growing at an annual rate of 10% yen, and its retail sales reached 264 million US dollars in 2014. It is expected to reach 3.87 billion by the end of 2015. It is worth affirming that our relevant researchers and enterprises have begun large-scale research and development, and have made some achievements in the field of industrial wipes.

Zhejiang love group imported German, Swiss and Japanese production equipment, using viscose and polyester blended, using needling reinforcement, and cleaning cloth after finishing, developed a series of industrial wiping cloth, its products are relatively soft, not easy to lose hair, water absorption rate can reach 5~6 times. The IW series of industrial wipes developed by Hainan Xinlong group uses wood pulp fiber and polyester fiber, and uses spunlace technology to strengthen the mesh. Its products are soft, absorbent and clean. Hongkong Nuosi Baer nonwovens Co., Ltd. mainly produces viscose, polyester and other fibers, and uses Spunlaced reinforcement to make special pearls and jacquard designs. Some of them are also finished after coating, soaking and opening. The nonwoven fabric wipes made of various uses have good cleaning effect and are mainly sold abroad.

Environmental protection and high value-added products are popular.

Wang Ran, a professor at Nanjing University of Technology, pointed out that the development and development of nonwoven wipes in China has just begun, and most enterprises choose to import foreign technology and equipment, and the production technology is in a state of secrecy. Most of the production enterprises are located in the coastal areas of the South and less in the mainland. In general, the development level and technical strength of high performance nonwovens wipes in China still need to be improved. A considerable number of enterprises have problems such as poor cleaning effect, easy to leave water marks and fiber shedding, which can not meet the needs of consumers.

Wang Ran said that strengthening the development of high performance nonwovens should focus on two aspects.

First, increase the added value of products. Taking the automobile wiping cloth as an example, the water consumption during the vehicle cleaning process is very large. The development of high efficiency water free wiping cloth is beneficial to saving water and protecting water resources. Other similar products, such as developing sterilizing and wiping cloth, antistatic wiping cloth, various printing and wiping cloth, special purpose wiping cloth, can not only satisfy people's needs, but also bring good economic benefits to enterprises.

The two is to use environmentally friendly raw materials, so that products do 100% harmless to the human body. At present, most non-woven industry in China is gradually developing towards sustainable development, paying attention to recycling resources and reducing environmental pollution. Nonwoven cleaning cloth, as a short-term product or disposable product, is attracting more and more attention from the public. Therefore, the degradable and degradable fibers, represented by cotton fiber, wood pulp fiber and PLA fiber, will become the development trend of future nonwovens wipe materials.
