Our 68GSM polyester woodpulp material is a precision-engineered hydroentangled (spunlace) nonwoven fabric that balances optimal basis weight with superior performance characteristics. At 68 grams per square meter (GSM) , this fabric occupies the sweet spot in the nonwoven spectrum—offering sufficient strength and absorbency for demanding applications while maintaining softness, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
Manufactured using advanced hydroentanglement technology, this composite fabric combines cellulose-based wood pulp fibers with high-tenacity polyester to create a material that delivers exceptional liquid management without compromising structural integrity . The 68GSM specification is widely recognized as the industry standard for medical gowns, industrial wipes, and precision cleaning applications.
Hydroentanglement (spunlace) is a binder-free manufacturing process that uses high-pressure water jets to mechanically entangle fibers, resulting in fabrics that are soft, strong, and highly absorbent without chemical binders . This technology preserves the natural properties of the fibers while delivering consistent, high-quality nonwoven material.
Our 68GSM polyester woodpulp material features:
✔Wood pulp fibers (typically 55-70%) : Provide exceptional absorbency (up to 5x its weight), natural softness, and partial biodegradability
✔Polyester fibers (typically 30-45%) : Deliver tensile strength, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, and wet strength retention
This strategic combination creates a fabric where wood pulp ensures rapid fluid absorption and skin-friendly comfort, while polyester maintains durability during rigorous use—making it ideal for both single-use medical applications and reusable industrial cleaning tasks.
Aligned with the global shift toward sustainable nonwovens and the circular economy, our 68GSM polyester woodpulp material incorporates multiple eco-friendly features:
✔Cellulose-based fibers: Sourced from renewable wood pulp, offering natural biodegradability and reduced carbon footprint
✔FSC certified: Available with Forest Stewardship Council certification, ensuring responsible forestry practices
✔Biodegradable grades: Select variants designed for end-of-life decomposition in appropriate environments
✔Recycled content options: Utilizing post-industrial polyester fibers to reduce environmental impact
✔Flushable variants: Select grades meeting EDANA GD4 and IWSFG guidelines for safe wastewater disposal
According to the 2026 Global Nonwoven Fabrics Market Report, the industry is projected to reach $23.21 billion in 2025, with sustainability and biodegradability being key growth drivers . The CINTE25 exhibition highlighted that "degradable and flushable materials are the key to future competition" in the nonwovens sector.
