PLA Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric

PLA Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric is an eco-friendly and biodegradable nonwoven material made from polylactic acid (PLA), a polymer derived from renewable plant sources such as corn starch or sugarcane. Through advanced spunlace hydroentanglement technology, the fibers are bonded by high-pressure water jets without chemical binders, resulting in a soft, strong, and skin-friendly fabric.

With its biodegradable, compostable, and hypoallergenic properties, PLA spunlace nonwoven fabric is widely used in cosmetic, medical, hygiene, and environmentally conscious applications.

Product Description

PLA spunlace nonwoven fabric combines the strength and softness of spunlace technology with the sustainability of biobased PLA fibers. It decomposes naturally under composting conditions, converting into water and carbon dioxide, leaving no harmful residue.

The fabric has a smooth texture, good moisture absorption, and is gentle to the skin, making it ideal for facial masks, wipes, diapers, sanitary products, and eco packaging. It is also suitable for industrial or agricultural applications where biodegradable materials are required.


Key Features

  • ♻️ 100% Biodegradable and Compostable — Made from renewable plant-based PLA materials.

  • 🌿 Eco-Friendly and Sustainable — Reduces plastic pollution and carbon footprint.

  • 💧 Excellent Absorbency and Breathability — Ideal for wet wipes, face masks, and hygiene care.

  • 🤍 Soft and Skin-Friendly — Gentle on sensitive skin, perfect for cosmetic or medical use.

  • 💪 High Tensile Strength — Durable structure that maintains integrity even when wet.

  • 🔥 Heat-Resistant and Chemical-Safe — Suitable for sterilization and hygienic processes.


Production Process

  1. PLA Fiber Preparation:
    High-purity polylactic acid chips are melted and extruded into fine continuous filaments.

  2. Web Formation:
    The PLA fibers are carded and layered evenly to form a soft web.

  3. Hydroentanglement (Spunlace):
    High-pressure water jets entangle the fibers, enhancing strength without adhesives.

  4. Drying and Finishing:
    The fabric is dried, optionally calendered, and rolled according to customer requirements.

This process ensures a uniform, high-quality PLA spunlace nonwoven fabric that is fully biodegradable and environmentally safe.


Applications

  • Facial Mask Sheets

  • Wet and Dry Wipes

  • Baby Diapers and Sanitary Pads

  • Medical and Cosmetic Products

  • Eco-Friendly Packaging

  • Agricultural Mulch and Industrial Cleaning Cloths
