The Ultimate Guide to spunbond non woven fabric

Founded in 1999, Jiangyin Jingang Nonwoven Co., Ltd. is a professional enterprise specializing in the research, development, and manufacturing of nonwoven materials and supporting equipment. Located in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, China, the company offers a wide range of products including PP spunbond and meltblown nonwovens, which are widely used in industries such as automotive, agriculture, packaging, and deep glass processing. In addition to nonwoven materials, we independently design and manufacture a variety of specialized machinery, including nonwoven production lines, CNC glass edging machines, and printing equipment—dedicated to providing customers with systematic and automated production solutions.

What is spunbond non woven fabric?

Definition and process overview

  • The term spunbond non woven fabric refers to a nonwoven textile produced by extruding thermoplastic filaments, drawing them, laying them on a conveyor and bonding them. :
  • Unlike woven or knitted fabrics, this is a random fibre web bonded by thermal or mechanical means.

Key materials and polymer choices

  • Most commonly polypropylene (PP) for cost‑effectiveness and chemical resistance.
  • Other polymers such as PET or PLA may be used depending on strength, temperature or biodegradability requirements.

Why choose spunbond non woven fabric?

Performance advantages

  • High tensile strength and toughness due to bonded filament structure.
  • Lightweight, cost‑efficient production compared to traditional woven fabrics.
  • Good breathability, porosity, and versatility of finishing (embossing, printing, lamination).

Applications across industries

  • Agriculture: crop covers, weed control fabrics.
  • Automotive: headliners, interior trims, liners.
  • Packaging & retail: bags, covers, reusable items.
  • Hygiene & medical: barrier fabrics, protective covers.

How to select the right spunbond non woven fabric for your project

Understanding spunbond non woven fabric gsm specification

  • “GSM” (grams per square metre) denotes fabric weight and density; higher GSM = more material and typically greater strength.
  • Example comparison: a 30 gsm fabric will be lighter and more breathable, a 100 gsm fabric will be thicker and more robust.

Matching material to end‑use

  • For agricultural cover use (see next section) you might select moderate GSM with good porosity and UV resistance.
  • For automotive headliner use you might select higher GSM, good tensile strength and appropriate finish.
  • For packaging or bags you might select PP spunbond fabric roll with custom colour/embossing.

Comparing alternatives (woven vs nonwoven)

  • Woven fabric: interlaced yarn structure, typically higher cost, slower production, good drape.
  • Spunbond non woven fabric: bonded filament structure, faster production, edge fraying minimal, efficient filtration/cover performance.
Feature Woven Fabric Spunbond Non Woven Fabric
Structure Interlaced yarns Bonded continuous filaments
Production speed Slower Faster
Edge fraying Yes No
Cost Typically higher Typically lower

Case uses of long‐tail scenarios

Using pp spunbond non woven fabric roll for packaging & bags

  • A roll of PP spunbond non woven fabric offers cost‑effective raw material for reusable shopping bags, covers, promotional items.
  • Advantages: customization (colour, embossing), high tensile strength, lightweight.

Using spunbond non woven fabric for agricultural cover in farming

  • Used as crop covers or weed‑control mats: allows air/water pass, blocks weeds, improves micro‑climate.
  • Compared to traditional plastic sheets: non woven is more breathable, lighter, easier to handle.
Application Plastic sheet Spunbond non woven fabric for agricultural cover
Breathability Poor Good
Weight Heavier Lighter
Weed suppression Requires additional treatment Effective directly

Using spunbond non woven fabric automotive headliner in automotive interiors

  • Automotive interior suppliers prefer spunbond non woven fabric for headliner substrata: good strength, consistent thickness, high production speed.
  • Compared to traditional cardboard or foam board substrates: nonwoven is lighter, more uniform, better acoustic behaviour.
Substrate type Foam/board Spunbond non woven fabric automotive headliner
Weight Higher Lower
Uniformity Variable High
Production speed Slower Faster

Manufacturing & supply chain insights

Overview of spunbond non woven fabric production line equipment

  • Production involves extrusion, drawing, web forming, bonding, winding.
  • When evaluating equipment, consider capacity, width, bonding pattern, automation, maintenance.

Things to check when sourcing from suppliers

  • Manufacturer’s experience, production facility, quality control and customisation capabilities.
  • Ability to supply different GSM, colours, embossing, printed nonwoven, matched to your end‑use.
  • Logistics, global export experience, consistent supply chain.

FAQ – common questions about spunbond non woven fabric

  • Q1: What is the difference between spunbond and other nonwoven types?
    A: Spunbond uses continuous filaments laid randomly and bonded; other types (e.g., meltblown, spunlace) have different fibre formation and bonding processes.
  • Q2: How do I decide the right GSM for my application?
    A: Choose based on required strength, durability, weight and porosity. Lower GSM for lighter covers, higher GSM for durable headliner or bags.
  • Q3: Can I customise colour, embossing or width of spunbond non woven fabric?
    A: Yes — many manufacturers (including ours) offer colour masterbatches, embossing rollers and wide widths to match your production needs.
  • Q4: Is spunbond non woven fabric suitable for outdoor use in agriculture?
    A: Yes — when UV stabilisers are added and GSM is matched, it works well for covers and weed‑control fabrics.
  • Q5: What should I check about the supplier when buying spunbond non woven fabric?
    A: Verify manufacturing experience, production line capacity, quality certifications, customisation options, reliable logistics and after‑sales support.
