Nonwoven materials are becoming more popular as a result of the coronavirus epidemic, which has already spread over the world, and is expected to continue. In recent years, however, as people have become more conscious of their carbon footprint and the effects of global warming, so there has been the the growing demand for ecologically friendly nonwovens. SUNTECH is always keeping up with the future trend and we can provide high quality non woven machinery at a competitive price.
Nonwoven Fabrics and Products That Are Often Used
Nonwoven fabric is an excellent alternative for carpet construction enhancement because it protects the integrity of the carpet, increases its longevity, and reduces the chance of mold or bacterial development. The use of these products simplifies installation, improves the protection of wood surfaces, and makes maintenance work easier.
While disposable diapers have been available for a very short length of time, cloth diapers have been around for much longer. Prior to the introduction of cloth diapers, there was no viable alternative to them. Cloth diapers were insufficiently absorbent, smelled, and required frequent washing.
Supplies and equipment for the medical field
Operation-room gowns, which are worn just once by the surgeon and his or her support team throughout lengthy and often-complicated operations that might last several hours or even longer, are a major use of nonwovens in the operating room. Additionally, these things are sterile and uniform, which is important given their well-documented ability to protect healthcare personnel from patients' bodily fluids and blood.
HAIs, also known as nosocomial infections, are illnesses acquired in a hospital setting that may be fatal. Surgical Site Infections (SSIs), a kind of bacterial infection, may occur as a result of incisions. Gowns and drapes made of nonwoven materials have been demonstrated to dramatically reduce the chance of developing a broad variety of illnesses that may become more severe during a hospital stay, according to research. In addition to all of this, they contribute to the prevention of disease transmission.
Industry has implemented technologies such as pulp and paper production and extrusion in order to provide the items that are required at a reasonable price. Because of automated conversion, the nonwoven supply chain can now produce more than 1,000 diapers per minute, which is a significant increase from previous levels.
Current Situation
Currently, the nonwovens industry is divided into many different segments, including raw material suppliers and roll goods producers, converters/fabricators of end-use products, a machinery industry that supports the previous three categories of suppliers, manufacturers of winding and slitting equipment, and manufacturers of packaging equipment, to name a few. It is vital to take into consideration the different degrees of vertical and horizontal integration that exist within the industry in order to get an accurate picture of it. The nuances of the local market and economy further distort the global picture.
Nonwovens are manufactured from renewable raw materials only in 30 percent of cases, while 70 percent of nonwovens are made from petroleum-based raw materials, according to a sustainability research conducted by the nonwovens industry group, Edana. Alternative raw materials that match property standards while also being biodegradable or renewable is a significant challenge for this industry.

What Will Be The Future Trend?
The nonwovens industry has been at the vanguard of the struggle for sustainability for a long time, even though regulations and taxes have played a part in this. Sustainable development was the topic of a number of educational seminars, panel discussions, and award ceremonies during ITMA 2015. Several prominent manufacturers brought up the matter during their respective product presentations. Almost all of the nonwovens exhibitors at ITMA 2015 addressed the importance of sustainability in some form.
Customers are increasingly seeking more information on the environmental and social consequences of the products they buy. Nonwovens are thus reacting to these requirements by disclosing information on product packaging and disposal.
We believe that this is the most important transformation in the history of the nonwoven business. In addition, it will have a long-term influence on the neighborhood in which it is located. In conjunction with customers and suppliers, we are continually innovating new sustainable non woven machine to meet our clients' needs.
