How to feel the thickness of the nonwoven material?
The thickness and weight (grammage) of non-woven fabric are two crucial parameters that directly affect its performance and applications. Here are some examples for you:
- Grammage (g/m²):
- Grammage refers to the weight of the non-woven fabric per square meter, measured in grams per square meter (g/m²).
- The higher the grammage, the denser the fabric, which usually means it is thicker and stronger.
- Common grammage ranges for non-woven fabrics are between 10g/m² and 320g/m².
2. Thickness (mm):
- Thickness refers to the actual thickness of the non-woven fabric, measured in millimeters (mm).
- Thickness and grammage are generally positively correlated, meaning that as grammage increases, thickness also increases.
- For example, a 90g/m² non-woven fabric might have a thickness of about 0.09mm, while a 100g/m² fabric might be around 0.11mm thick.
3. Application:
- Lightweight non-woven fabrics (e.g., 10g/m² to 60g/m²) are typically used for disposable items, medical masks, etc.
- Medium-weight non-woven fabrics (e.g., 70g/m² to 120g/m²) are often used for shopping bags, promotional bags, etc.
- Heavier non-woven fabrics (e.g., above 150g/m²) are used for more demanding applications, such as furniture covers, agricultural fabrics, etc.
- When choosing non-woven fabric, you can decide on the appropriate grammage and thickness based on the specific application and required load-bearing capacity.
