Needle punched nonwoven fabric

Needle Punched Nonwoven Fabric is produced through a mechanical entanglement process where loose fibers (such as polyester, polypropylene, viscose, aramid, wool, etc.) are repeatedly punched by barbed needles to interlock them together. This forms a strong, dense, and durable fabric suitable for filtration, automotive parts, geotextiles, insulation, furniture, and industrial applications.

Compared with other nonwoven types, needle punched nonwoven fabric has excellent thickness stability, abrasion resistance, and dimensional strength, making it ideal for both heavy-duty and technical usage.

product introduce

Needle punched nonwoven fabric offers excellent structural integrity without using chemical adhesives. Its density and strength can be adjusted by controlling fiber blend, needle density, and reinforcement layers. The fabric can be thermally bonded, resin finished, surface-pressed, or laminated depending on performance requirements.

This material is widely used across construction, automotive, agriculture, filtration, home furnishing, and protective textiles.


Key Features

  • High Tensile and Tear Strength — Reliable and durable for industrial applications

  • Excellent Abrasion and Wear Resistance — Suitable for high-friction environments

  • Customizable Thickness and Density — Flexible performance to meet different needs

  • Good Air and Water Permeability — Ideal for filtration and geotextile applications

  • Chemical and Temperature Resistant Options Available — Suitable for harsh conditions

  • Can Be Thermally or Resin Reinforced — Enhanced strength when needed


Production Process

  1. Fiber Opening and Blending
    Selected fibers are opened and mixed for uniform consistency.

  2. Web Formation
    Fibers are carded and layered into a loose web.

  3. Needle Punching
    Thousands of barbed needles repeatedly penetrate the web to mechanically entangle fibers.

  4. Finishing Treatment (Optional)

    • Calendering

    • Thermal bonding

    • Laminating

    • Coating or resin reinforcement

  5. Cutting and Packaging
    Delivered in roll or sheet form according to customer requirements.


Applications

  • Geotextiles for soil stabilization and drainage

  • Industrial Filtration Media (air, liquid, oil)

  • Automotive Interior Materials (car carpet, insulation, backing fabric)

  • Furniture and Mattress Padding

  • Sound and Thermal Insulation Layers

  • Agricultural Fabric & Mulching Cloth

  • Protective Clothing and Composite Base Layers
