Wet wipes are a soft, antibacterial non-woven material with good hygroscopic properties. They generally consist of two parts: a fabric carrier and a solution soaked in the fabric carrier. At present, the fabric carrier is mainly spunlaced non-woven fabric, which is folded, humidified, and packaged into disposable cleaning and sanitary products. Because wet wipes have the characteristics of cleaning, moisturizing and being easy to carry, they have gradually become a common product in people’s lives.
Currently, most wet wipes fabric carriers on the market use synthetic fibers such as polyester and polypropylene. Polyester is a widely used textile material. Wet wipes made from it have the advantages of softness and high cost performance, which can reduce the use of natural fibers to a certain extent; however, its molecular structure is tight, crystallinity is high, and surface energy is low. This results in poor hygroscopicity and poor antistatic properties, making it difficult to meet the needs of the sanitary field. Therefore, it needs to be hydrophilically modified.
The use of non-woven hydrophilic finishing agents to perform hydrophilic finishing on polyester spunlaced non-woven fabrics is a hydrophilic modification technology that is more widely used in the textile industry. It has the characteristics of simple process, low cost, good effect and suitable for Advantages such as mass production.
