The tensile strength and durability of Super Soft Hydrophilic Spunbond Nonwoven Fabrics are key performance indicators that affect their application effects and long-term stability. To ensure their tensile strength and durability, it is usually necessary to take a variety of measures in terms of material selection, manufacturing process, surface treatment, structural design, etc. The following are some key methods to ensure their tensile strength and durability:
1. Optimize the spunbond process
Fiber fineness and arrangement optimization: By adjusting the fiber fineness, arrangement density and weaving direction in the spunbond process, the tensile strength of spunbond nonwoven fabrics can be significantly enhanced. Generally, the finer the fiber and the denser the arrangement, the higher the tensile strength of the fabric. By precisely controlling the thickness and spacing of the fibers, the tensile properties can be improved while ensuring softness.
Fiber cross-linking technology: In the production process of spunbond nonwoven fabrics, by introducing physical or chemical cross-linking technology (such as hot pressing, laser cross-linking, etc.), the fibers can be more closely connected to improve their overall tensile strength and durability. The cross-linked spunbond fabric can not only improve the mechanical strength, but also improve its morphological stability and tear resistance.
2. Select high-strength raw materials
High-strength polymer materials: Select high-strength polymer materials (such as polypropylene PP or polyester PET) and modify them specially to enhance the tensile strength of non-woven fabrics. For example, in the spunbond process, the use of high modulus and high melting point polymers can improve the overall strength and temperature resistance of the fiber.
Adding reinforcing agents: During the production process, some reinforcing agents (such as glass fiber, carbon fiber and other composite materials) can be added to enhance the tensile strength and durability of non-woven fabrics. These reinforcing materials can significantly improve the mechanical properties of non-woven fabrics, especially in applications with high strength requirements, such as medical and industrial fields.
3. Heat treatment and shaping technology
Hot pressing shaping: The tensile strength and durability of non-woven fabrics can be improved by heat treatment or hot pressing technology. During the hot pressing process, the molecular chains of the fibers will be intertwined, which will increase the strength of the material. Proper hot pressing treatment can not only increase the tensile strength, but also improve the surface finish of the fabric and reduce the fluff phenomenon.
Shaping technology: Shaping nonwovens helps to fix their shape and enhance the bonding force between fibers, thereby improving their durability and tensile properties. Shaping can be done by heating or calendering, making the nonwovens more stable and durable in subsequent use.
4. Improving the structural density of spunbond nonwovens
Adjusting fiber layout: By optimizing the fiber layout of spunbond nonwovens, increasing the degree of fiber interweaving and fabric density, its tensile strength can be improved. For example, by increasing the contact area between fibers, the interaction force between fibers is increased, thereby enhancing its tensile strength.
Increasing multi-layer composite structure: In order to improve the tensile strength, a multi-layer composite structure design can be adopted. For example, by stacking multiple layers of spunbond nonwovens together, the structural advantages between different layers are utilized to increase the strength and durability of the entire material. The composite structure can not only improve the tensile properties, but also improve the breathability and softness of the material.
5. Tensile strength testing and optimization
Tensile testing and optimization: The produced ultra-soft hydrophilic spunbond nonwovens are subjected to tensile testing to detect their tensile strength under different loads. By adjusting the production process parameters (such as fiber tension, heat treatment temperature, spunbond speed, etc.), the tensile strength is continuously optimized to ensure that it meets the expected standards.
Balance between elongation at break and tensile strength: While improving the tensile strength, it is necessary to maintain the appropriate ductility of the material. The elongation at break and tensile strength of non-woven fabrics must reach a certain balance, otherwise the material may lose its softness or cause brittle fracture in actual use.
6. Combination of tensile strength and durability
Abrasion resistance and tensile strength: For some applications, such as cleaning supplies, medical dressings, etc., tensile strength and abrasion resistance are very important. Ultra-soft hydrophilic spunbond non-woven fabrics can improve their wear resistance and tensile strength through appropriate post-treatment and the use of reinforcing materials to ensure their long-term stability in high-intensity use environments.
Anti-ultraviolet and high temperature resistance: In order to extend the service life of non-woven fabrics, especially in outdoor or high temperature environments, enhancing their anti-ultraviolet and high temperature resistance is also an important measure to ensure their durability. The use of UV-resistant and heat-resistant polymer materials, or UV-resistant coating treatment, can effectively improve its durability.
7. Coordination of hydrophilicity and durability
Balance between hydrophilicity and mechanical properties: Super soft hydrophilic spunbond nonwovens need to ensure that their mechanical properties are not negatively affected while ensuring hydrophilicity. By optimizing the hydrophilic coating or chemical treatment method, the super softness and hydrophilicity of the material can be maintained without significantly affecting its tensile strength and durability. This is usually achieved through fine process control, such as using low concentrations of hydrophilic agents to avoid excessive damage to fiber strength.
8. Guarantee of durability during use
Proper cleaning and maintenance: The durability of nonwovens depends not only on its initial manufacturing process, but also on the maintenance after use. In order to extend the service life of super soft hydrophilic spunbond nonwovens and avoid excessive friction and improper cleaning, it is recommended to provide clear use and cleaning guidelines to minimize material loss.
The tensile strength and durability of ultra-soft hydrophilic spunbond nonwoven fabrics can be ensured by optimizing production processes, selecting high-strength raw materials, adopting heat treatment and shaping technologies, increasing the degree of fiber crosslinking, and designing composite structures. These measures not only ensure its softness and hydrophilicity, but also improve its performance in various high-strength and durability requirements.
