Technology / product information

Nonwoven fabric refers to a sheet-like material made by entangling fibers without weaving. Technically, it is defined as a sheet, web, or pad formed by bonding or interlocking fibers through thermal, mechanical, or chemical means, without spinning, weaving, or knitting the fibers. The performance and characteristics of nonwoven fabrics vary depending on the types of fibers and bonding methods, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
