The application of non-woven fabrics in non-durable clothing has been very popular, such as spunlace medical protective clothing, PP disposable spunbond protective clothing and SMS medical protective clothing.

SMS non-woven fabric is a composite product of spunbond and meltblown. It has the advantages of high strength, good filtration performance, no adhesive, and non-toxicity. It has played an important role in the field of medical and industrial filter materials. Recent applications are Using SMS's characteristics of air permeability, no fiber dust, and prevention of particle exchange between the human body and the outside world, it is used in high-clean production environments such as pharmaceuticals, bioengineering, optoelectronic processing, electrical components, and chips. Spunbond non-woven fabrics are composed of high-strength continuous filaments and occupy a large proportion in the disposable protective clothing market. The latest development is the addition of special additives or post-finishing in the production process of spunbond non-woven fabrics to make The product has the functions of flame retardant, antistatic, anti-radiation, hydrophobic and moisture conductive, antibacterial, and warmth.

In terms of new fiber development, water-soluble non-woven fabric is an environmentally friendly product, and its application range is gradually expanding. Using polyvinyl alcohol water-soluble fiber to produce spunlace non-woven fabric is a good material for making anti-radiation and anti-pollution clothing. In order to increase the protective effect, it can also be compounded with a water-soluble film to increase the barrier performance of the protective clothing.

In the development of new composite nonwoven materials, the United States has developed a new type of cotton fiber composite nonwoven fabric, the surface layer is a thermally bonded nonwoven fabric of cotton and polypropylene fiber, and the spunbonded fabric constitutes a two-layer or three-layer composite material , Suitable for making medical isolation clothing and disposable underwear.
