WHAT IS SPUNLACE?

Hydro-entangling is a process for fiber consolidation through the use of fine, high pressure jets of water.

Creating a nonwoven with this method typically begins with carding fiber into a web structure, then passing the web through a series of high pressure water curtains which serve to entangle the fibers and create many fiber-to-fiber intersections.

This technology is known for producing nonwovens fabrics with high web uniformity, high strength to weight ratio, lower mean pore size and increased absorption properties.

For these reasons, the hydro-entangled nonwovens, sometimes referred to as Spunlace, are commonly found in hygiene applications.
