Wood Pulp Spunlace Nonwoven Compound (PBAT)

About This Product

Wood Pulp Spunlace Nonwoven Compound is a PBAT pellet compound for spunlace lines running a pulp and polymer composite. The PBAT brings the wet strength and extensibility a hydroentangled web needs to survive the jets and the converting that follows, and the wood pulp brings absorbency and renewable content to the sheet. Spunlace bonds fibres with high-pressure water jets rather than heat or adhesive, which gives a soft, cloth-like fabric. The jets drive the fibres through and around each other and entangle them mechanically, so nothing is melted and no bond point is stiffened, and the sheet drapes like textile rather than like film. Combining PBAT with wood pulp raises the renewable content and the absorbency, because the pulp is short, hydrophilic and holds liquid while the longer polymer fibre holds the sheet together around it. This is the standard construction for wipes. Where a flushability claim is intended, it must be substantiated on the finished article against the relevant standard. Supplied as a raw material for processing on the buyer's own line. We do not produce finished articles. It is used in wet and dry wipes, in household cleaning cloths and in personal care fabrics. Bio Green Chem supplies Wood Pulp Spunlace Nonwoven Compound to specification on fibre fineness, pulp to polymer ratio, basis weight and the absorbency and strength wanted from the fabric.
