Why can't printed nonwovens be used repeatedly?

Feb 15, 2023 Leave a message

Printed nonwovens are a young and promising new field in the textile industry. China's printed nonwoven industry started late, but is developing rapidly. At the early stage of development, nonwoven fabrics were mainly used in the garment industry as auxiliary materials. With the rapid development of social economy and science and technology, new products and technologies of nonwoven fabrics are emerging and changing day by day, and the application range is getting wider and wider. Next I'll introduce the reasons why printed nonwovens can't be reused.


The exact name of printed nonwoven fabric should be nonwoven or nonwoven fabric. China's national standard GB/T5709-1997 "textile nonwoven terminology" is the directional or arbitrarily arranged fibers of woven fabrics, by friction, wrapping, bonding or a combination of these methods, defined as mutually combined sculpture, fiber and cotton mat. It does not include paper, woven, knitted, or cluster fabrics. Because it is a fabric formed without spinning fabric, it can only be formed by orienting or randomly arranging textile short fibers or long threads to form a fiber structure, and then reinforced by mechanical, thermal bonding, chemical and other methods. With moisture-proof, breathable, elastic, weight, non-combustible, easily decomposed, non-toxic, irritating, colorful, inexpensive, recyclable, etc., the application areas are very wide.

In industrial materials, printed nonwoven fabric has the characteristics of filtration efficiency, insulation, heat insulation, acid resistance, alkali resistance, tear resistance, etc. It is mostly used in the manufacture of filter media, sound insulation, electrical insulation, packaging, roofing, abrasives, etc. In the daily necessities industry, it can be used as clothing, lining, materials, curtains, wall decoration materials, diapers, travel bags, etc. It can be used in medical and health products for surgical gowns, patient gowns, masks, sanitary belts, etc.


1.Printed nonwoven sterile barrier performance is lost after use


Research shows that the preservation time of sterile articles is closely related to the thickness of nonwoven fabric (g/m2) and the number of layers of package days. Disposable nonwoven packaging materials appear a series of high-temperature steam sterilization, chemical cleaning after fiber structure deformation, package hole thinning, thickness decline, the naked eye is not too obvious small hole, resistance rate suddenly decreased or loss of resistance performance. Requirements for Sterilization Technical Specification packaging materials: sterilization factors need to be effective throughout the sterilization process. Provide a bacterial barrier to maintain sterility during storage. Reuse of disposable packaging materials packaging apparatus, sterilization after storage does not reach the safe expiration date.


2. After sterilization of printed nonwoven fabric, the microscopic properties inside the nonwoven fabric change


Printed nonwoven packaging materials are generally SMS composite nonwoven. The main material of this nonwoven fabric is polypropylene, which is processed by a variety of processes through melting and spinning process, and the microstructure is micro plastic fiber. Shrinkage after encountering high temperature is a characteristic of plastic items. There really is no such thing as a high temperature resistant plastic. High temperature is also a relative concept, so nonwovens can react to shrinkage accordingly on a microscopic level. After high-temperature sterilization, the fine plastic fibers of nonwovens undergo a certain degree of shrinkage, and after sterilization on use, nonwovens are more brittle and less flexible than before sterilization. Non-woven packaging materials before and after the change in performance is one of the reasons why non-woven fabric can only be used once. This is the reason why printed nonwoven fabric can not be used repeatedly for everyone, for more information please feel free to contact us!
