Today, disposable is universally understood as a synonym for hygiene, safety and practicality. However, its advantages in terms of personalizing the product, comfort and thrift are not as well-known. Nonwoven is innovative and versatile. It is one of the materials which best suits the philosophy of disposable use. It is a fabricated sheet made from cloth or layers of fiber lined up in one direction or irregularly, connected through friction and/or cohesion. The cohesion can be produced mechanically, chemically or thermally.
Its characteristics are extremely adaptable to many needs and uses (i.e. waterproof or not, based on the need):
Chemical-physical characteristics:
absorbent, transpiring, waterproof, porous, stable, water-repellent, alcohol-repellent, weather resistant, permeable, dense, durable, light, color-resistant, protective, fire-proof, biodegradable mold-resistant, able to be sterilized, colored or dry cleaned, long-lasting and not dust-producing.
Mechanical characteristics:
elastic, resistant to abrasions, robust, shock-resistant, rigid, tear resistant, can be ironed, wrinkle resistant.
Electrical characteristics:
antistatic, conductive, non conductive.
Tactile characteristics:
smooth, soft, mild on the skin.
Production possibilities:
can be glued, sewn, soldered, can be heated and sewn, modelled, rolled, folded.
