Product Description

Changshu Yongdeli Spunlaced Nonwoven Fabric Co., Ltd. has been deeply engaged in the spunlace nonwoven fabric industry for many years. It always takes "technological innovation + green development" as its core orientation, ensuring product quality while actively responding to global environmental protection calls. In response to the market demand for "sustainable materials", the company, relying on its mature spunlace production system and recycled polyester fiber processing technology, has launched recycled polyester fiber spunlace nonwoven fabric products. These products are made from core raw materials such as recycled polyester (RPET) and recycled polypropylene, achieving "waste recycling" through scientific processes. They retain the softness, breathability, and durability advantages of spunlace nonwoven fabric while imparting significant environmental attributes. They are widely applicable in various fields such as hygiene, home, industry, and agriculture, providing customers with "high performance + low carbon footprint" material solutions.

I. Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric Production Process

The core of recycled polyester fiber spunlace nonwoven fabric lies in the combination of recycled raw material processing and spunlace technology to achieve a balance between "environmental friendliness and performance". Changshu Yongdeli Spunlaced Nonwoven Fabric Co., Ltd. ensures the compliance, stability, and reliability of each batch of products through refined process control. The specific process is as follows:

Step 1 Selection and Pre-treatment of Recycled Raw Materials (Core Step)
Raw Material Selection: Preferentially select recycled polyester and recycled polypropylene fibers that meet national environmental protection standards (such as GB/T 38413-2019 "Evaluation Requirements for Green Factories in the Recycled Chemical Fiber (Polyester, Polyamide) Industry"). The raw materials come from recycled plastic bottles and waste textiles, processed by regular manufacturers. Each batch of raw materials must provide "recycled material traceability certificate" and "environmental test report" to ensure no heavy metals or harmful chemicals.
Pre-treatment of Raw Materials: Due to the complexity of the source, the recycled fibers need to be first sorted using equipment to remove impurities (such as metal debris, impure fibers); then enter the loosening equipment, using a low-tension loosening process to avoid fiber breakage due to slightly lower strength than original fibers; after loosening, the short fibers and dust are removed by a decontamination machine to ensure the cleanliness of the recycled fibers at over 99%, laying the foundation for subsequent mixing and web formation.
Step 2 Fiber Ratio and Mixing

According to the performance requirements of the product (such as strength, softness, breathability), scientifically adjust the ratio of recycled polyester and recycled polypropylene (the conventional ratio is 6:4 to 8:2, with recycled polyester enhancing strength and recycled polypropylene enhancing softness), and add a small amount of recycled viscose fiber (to improve skin contact). The mixing process uses a dual-axis blending machine, ensuring uniform distribution of fibers through variable frequency stirring to avoid fiber agglomeration and guarantee the consistency of web formation.

Step 3 Combing into Web (Optimization for Recycled Fiber)

The mixed fibers enter a high-precision combing machine, considering the shorter length and slightly lower strength of recycled fibers, using low-damage needle fabric and low-speed combing parameters (the combing speed is reduced by 10%-15% compared to original fibers), reducing fiber breakage; at the same time, adjusting the roller spacing to ensure straightness and uniformity of fibers, with the thickness deviation controlled within ±2.5%, providing a stable substrate for subsequent spunlace reinforcement.

Step 4 Spunlace Reinforcement (Strength Assurance Process)

Adopting "multi-stage progressive spunlace" technology to balance the strength of recycled fibers and the stability of the fabric surface:

First-stage low-pressure spunlace (pressure 6-8 MPa): Initially fix the web structure to prevent excessive displacement of recycled fibers due to high-pressure impact;
Middle-stage directional spunlace (pressure 10-12 MPa): Using an inclined spunlace head (at an angle of 30° to the web) to direct water injection, enabling the recycled fibers to intertwine and enhance the longitudinal strength of the fabric surface;
High-pressure all-in-one spunlace (pressure 13-15 MPa): Using high-density spunlace heads for coverage, it enhances the density of fiber entanglement, ensuring that the longitudinal tensile strength of the product is ≥ 8 N/5 cm and the transverse tensile strength is ≥ 5 N/5 cm (tested according to GB/T 24218.3-2010), meeting the requirements of regular use.
Step 5 Dehydration and Drying (Environmentally Friendly and Energy-Saving Design)

The wet non-woven fabric after spunlace reinforcement is first sent to the vacuum dehydration equipment (dehydration rate 75%-85%), during the dehydration process, the wastewater is filtered through the company's self-built water recycling system and reused, increasing water resource utilization by 30%; then it enters the hot air drying equipment, using heat recovery technology (drying temperature 80-110℃, 10℃ lower than the conventional process), reducing energy consumption while avoiding the aging of regenerated fibers due to high temperature, and the final product moisture content is controlled within 5%.

Step 6 Post-Treatment and Cutting (Function Customization)

According to customer requirements, post-treatment includes: hydrophilic treatment (for hygiene products scenarios, improving liquid absorption speed), antibacterial treatment (for medical auxiliary scenarios, inhibiting bacterial growth), and anti-static treatment (for industrial wiping scenarios, reducing static adsorption); after post-treatment, it is cut into rolls or sheets by a high-precision cutting machine according to preset widths (1-3.2 m) and lengths, the cutting process adopts tension closed-loop control to avoid the stretching deformation of the regenerated fiber substrate.

Step 7 Quality Inspection and Warehousing (Full-Dimensional Testing)

In addition to the regular appearance, strength, and air permeability tests, the quality inspection process also includes "recycled attribute testing" and "environmental testing": through infrared spectroscopy, the recycled fiber composition is verified (ensuring the recycled material ratio is ≥ 90%), and through a third-party testing institution, the detection of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, etc.) and formaldehyde content (all meeting GB 18401-2010 A-class standards) is conducted; at the same time, the degradability of the product (natural environment 180-day degradation rate ≥ 60%, meeting GB/T 28018-2011 standards) is also tested. Only qualified products can be warehoused.

II. Core Advantages of Recycled Fiber Spunlace Non-Woven Fabric

Promoting Low-Carbon Circular Development

The core raw material of the product is recycled polyester and recycled polypropylene. For every 1 ton of recycled fiber spunlace non-woven fabric produced, 6-8 tons of primary plastic are reduced, and about 3 tons of carbon dioxide emissions are reduced, conforming to "dual carbon" initiatives and green supply chain standards. Products can be partially degraded or repurposed through closed loops ("resource - product - waste - recycled resource").

Virgin-Grade Performance & Cost Savings

Performance remains comparable to virgin materials: longitudinal tensile strength ≥ 8 N/5 cm, transverse tensile strength ≥ 5 N/5 cm, air permeability ≥ 300 L/m²·s, and wear resistance ≥ 300 cycles (Martindale test). With recycled raw material costs 15%-20% lower than virgin polymers, downstream clients capture substantial procurement savings without performance degradation.

Compliant, Safe & Fully Traceable

All recycled fibers originate from certified suppliers with complete "recycling - processing - factory" chain-of-custody documentation. Thoroughly tested by SGS and CNAS, formaldehyde is ≤ 20mg/kg and heavy metals ≤ 10mg/kg. The fabrics strictly adhere to EU REACH and US CPSIA regulations, qualifying them for intimate personal hygiene items.

High Adaptability & Customization

Compatible with a diverse spectrum of post-finishes including hydrophilic, antibacterial, and antistatic treatments. Surface patterns such as mesh, plain weave, and customized embossing are available. Blend ratios between recycled polyester and polypropylene can be modulated precisely to tailor hand feel, tensile strength, or fluid dynamics.

III. Characteristics of Regenerated Fiber Spunlace Non-Woven Fabric Products
