The relationship between spunlace wet wipes and woodpulp spunlace non-woven fabrics mainly lies in the correlation between the base material and the process. The specific analysis is as follows:

The core base material of the spunlace wet wipes

The main raw material of spunlace wet wipes is spunlace non-woven fabric, and wood pulp spunlace non-woven fabric is a subtype of spunlace non-woven fabric. The spunlace process uses high-pressure water flow to entangle and reinforce the fibers, forming a soft and highly absorbent non-woven fabric. Wood pulp spunlace nonwoven fabric is based on this and incorporates wood pulp fibers (usually mixed with polyester or viscose) to reduce costs and enhance water absorption.

2. Characteristics of wood pulp spunlace nonwoven fabric

Composition and process: Wood pulp spunlace non-woven fabric is mainly composed of wood pulp fibers (accounting for up to 70%), combined with polyester or viscose, and reinforced through spunlace process. Wood pulp fibers are short and cannot be mechanically carded, so they need to be processed by wet methods or air flow web forming processes.

Advantages: Low cost, good water absorption, degradable (suitable for flushable wet wipes), but slightly harder to the touch than adhesive wet wipes. It is mostly used for industrial wiping or kitchen wet wipes.

Environmental friendliness: Wood pulp fibers are naturally degradable, in line with the trend of environmental protection. However, it should be noted that the degradability of some products may be reduced due to the blending of chemical fibers.

3. Material selection for spunlace wet wipes

High-end wet wipes: Mostly made of all-adhesive or all-cotton spunlace non-woven fabric, they feel softer and are suitable for babies or medical use.

Economical wet wipes: Commonly used are wood pulp spunlace non-woven fabrics (such as 50% wood pulp +50% polyester), balancing cost and performance, for example, kitchen wet wipes or industrial wipes.

Special function: It can disperse wet wipes that require a high proportion of wood pulp (such as wet toilet paper), taking advantage of the rapid decomposition property of wood pulp.

4. Differences in application scenarios

Wood pulp spunlace non-woven fabric: It focuses on industrial cleaning, kitchen wet wipes and other scenarios that require high liquid absorption and stiffness.

Other spunlace wet wipes: They pay more attention to skin friendliness. For instance, baby wet wipes often use adhesive or all-cotton spunlace fabric.

Wood pulp spunlace non-woven fabric is an important base material for spunlace wet wipes, especially suitable for cost-sensitive or environmental protection demand scenarios, while high-end wet wipes tend to use spunlace non-woven fabric with other fiber ratios. The relationship between the two can be summarized as the same process (spunlace), but different material ratios lead to performance differentiation.
