flushable spunlace non-woven fabric is emerging as a new focal point in the non-woven fabric industry. This innovative eco-friendly material combines environmental performance with practical functionality, not only meeting consumers' demands for comfort and safety but also addressing the pain points of traditional disposable products in terms of sewer blockages and environmental pollution. Its most distinctive feature—dissolvability—enables the material to rapidly disperse and degrade in water, thereby providing a safer, cleaner, and greener solution for modern living.
I.What is flushable spunlace non-woven fabric?
Flushable spunlace non-woven fabric is a special type of non-woven material that maintains a certain level of strength during use. However, when immersed in water and gently agitated, the fibre network rapidly breaks down into individual plant fibres, ultimately dispersing completely in water without causing pipe blockages.
The key difference from ordinary non-woven fabric lies in its raw materials, which are entirely natural plant fibres. No chemical adhesives or synthetic fibres are used in production, ensuring excellent biodegradability and safety.
II.Production Process of flushable Spunlace Non-Woven Fabric
This material is produced using high-pressure water jet spinning technology (also known as spunlace technology), which interweaves plant fibres into a uniform fibre network without any chemical adhesives, making it both environmentally friendly and efficient. The advantages of this process include:
Free from harmful chemicals such as fluorescent whitening agents and formaldehyde
Environmentally friendly production process with low carbon emissions
Soft texture and good skin compatibility, suitable for products in direct contact with the skin
III. Core Advantages of Disposable Spunlace Non-Woven Fabric
Dispersibility – Rapidly disperses in water to prevent drain blockages
Biodegradability – Made from natural plant fibres, leaving no polluting residues after complete degradation
Safety and harmlessness – Free from bleaching agents, fluorescent agents, and other chemical substances
Wide application range – Widely used in flushable wipes, flushable toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, medical supplies, cleaning products, and other fields
IV.International Standards and Compliance
The performance and environmental friendliness of flushable spunlace nonwoven fabrics typically refer to the ‘Flushability Guidelines for Disposable Absorbent Products’ jointly established by the North American Nonwovens Association (INDA) and the European Nonwovens Association (EDANA). These standards ensure that products undergo dispersion and safety testing before entering the market to avoid burdening public drainage systems.
