SPUNLACE TECHNOLOGY

Spunlace line

Hydroentanglement or spunlacing is a mechanical bonding process whereby fibers are entangled by means of high pressure water jets. Patterning can be achieved by use of patterned drums or belts which cause the fibers to form a negative image of the drum design in the fabric. Foremost characteristics at spunlaced fabrics include softness, drape, conformability, absorbency and relatively high strength. The process results in chemical free fabrics as produced.

Our production lines are designed to utilize a wide range of natural & synthetic fibers. In addition, the entanglement process can be used to combine webs from other technologies such as spunbond, melt blown, scrims and other textiles. This results in a combination of properties that cannot be achieved by any single technology.
