Non Woven
Non Woven (NW)
A Non-Woven is a fabric obtained
without weaving.
Made from either synthetic or
natural fibers.
Spun Laid
Needle
Punched
Hydro
Entangled
Chemically
Bonded
Air Laid
Wide Variety of Processes …Wide Choice of Raw Materials
Materials for Non Woven
Polypropylene (PP): The material of
choice
Chemically Inert
Light Weight
Food grade and FDA approved
Sterilize-able
PP followed by Polyester - The Most Widely Used Material Today
Why Non Woven..??
Protection against dry/wet contact & air-borne
particles
Optimal fluid absorbency
Breathable: Exchange of air, body heat and
moisture
Hygienic: Bacteria, Fungus, Virus Resistant
Excellent barrier properties
Stain free & lint free
Safety - the prime consideration
Why Non Woven..??...contd
Strong yet lightweight
Excellent fluid repellency
Optimum wearer comfort & convenience
Single-use = 100% certainty
Gives fresh new look
Engineered stability for ETO, plasma, radiation,
or steam sterilization
Linen usages still prevalent in India
