What is a hydrophilic non-woven fabric?
Sep 25, 2021
Most of the non-woven fabrics are not hydrophilic， they are hydrophobic generally. In order to make the non-woven fabric achieve the function of hydrophilicity, a hydrophilic agent is added in the production process of the non-woven fabric, or a hydrophilic agent is added to the fiber during the fiber production process.
The purpose of adding hydrophilic agent
The fiber or non-woven fabric is a high molecular polymer, and it has no hydrophilic characteristic, which cannot achieve the hydrophilic properties required in the application of non-woven fabrics, so a hydrophilic agent is added.
Application
It is mainly used in the production of medical and sanitary materials to obtain a better hand feeling and not scratch the skin. For example, sanitary napkins and sanitary pads use the hydrophilic function of hydrophilic non-woven fabrics.
