What is Thermal Bond Nonwoven?
Thermal bond nonwoven is a type of fabric created by bonding fibers using heat, often without the need for additional adhesives or mechanical entanglement. This technique delivers lightweight, durable materials with controlled air permeability. At Yiting, thermal bonding is used in the production of stable, breathable nonwovens ideal for fruit protection bags, packaging, and multilayer filtration.
How is Thermal Bond Nonwoven Made?
The thermal bonding process typically includes:
Web Formation– Fibers are carded or airlaid into a uniform web.
Heat Bonding– The web passes through heated rollers or ovens, where thermoplastic fibers (like PE or PP) melt and bind the structure.
Cooling & Finishing– The bonded fabric is cooled and rolled for further processing.
Yiting employs precise thermal control systems to maintain uniform bonding without damaging fiber structure, resulting in consistent performance.
Material Characteristics & Technical Advantages
Thermal bond nonwoven offers several advantages:
- Lightweight yet durable
- Consistent thickness and surface quality
- Customizable breathability and stiffness
- Binder-free and low lint
- Compatible with biodegradable thermoplastics (e.g., PLA)
This makes it well-suited for both disposable and reusable applications.
