5. In terms of environmental protection, the raw material of most of the non-woven fabrics used is polypropylene, while the raw material of plastic bags is polyethylene. Although the two substances have similar names, they are quite different in chemical structure.
Use:
Mainly used in the production of medical and sanitary materials to achieve a better feel and not scratch the skin. For example, sanitary napkins and sanitary pads use the hydrophilic function of hydrophilic non-woven fabrics.
Prospect Analysis:
In recent years, the growth rate of world nonwoven demand has always been higher than that of the global economy. Global non-woven production is mainly concentrated in the United States, accounting for 41% of the world total, Western Europe 30%, Japan 8%, China 3.5%, and other regions 17.5%. Among the terminal applications of non-woven fabrics, sanitary absorbent (especially diapers) products have the fastest growth, and medical textiles, automotive textiles, footwear and artificial leather markets also show a new atmosphere of rapid development.
China's non-woven industry started relatively late, but it has developed rapidly. In the early 1980s, production was less than 10,000 tons. In the mid-to-late 1990s, China set off an upsurge in the development of non-woven products. In addition to using domestic production lines, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces have also introduced production lines from abroad. The development speed of China's non-woven products greatly exceeds the average development speed of the textile industry, with an annual growth rate of 8-10%, which is the fastest growing industry in the textile industry.
