Spunlace nonwoven process uses hydro-entanglement for bonding staple fibers; it involves mechanical intertwining of fibers by water jets. As a result, nonwoven fabrics made by this method have specific properties, as soft handle and drapability.
Most commonly, precursors are mixtures of cellulose and man-made fibers like Rayon (Viscose), Polyester and their blends. |
