Wood Pulp and Natural Fibre Wetlaid Nonwovens
topic
Wetlaid nonwovens from wood pulp, cotton linters, and natural cellulosic fibres use traditional paper machine technology adapted for heavier basis weights and nonwoven binder addition, producing wetlaid products for facial tissue, medical nonwoven, and sustainable wipes applications from renewable natural fibres with high absorbency, biodegradability, and sustainability credentials that petrochemical synthetic fibre alternatives cannot match.
Role
Produces sustainable nonwoven substrates from renewable natural fibre resources for wipes, medical, and hygiene applications where biodegradability and natural origin are consumer-valued attributes, with wood pulp and cotton linters wetlaid providing the highest absorbency nonwovens per unit weight through the natural hydrophilicity and capillary structure of cellulosic fibres deposited in the isotropic random orientation characteristic of wetlaid formation.
