Small Dot Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric for Soft Wiping Cloths

At Weifang Hengjin Non-Woven Material we produce the Small Dot Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric as part of a range that covers plain, pearl, mesh, diamond and EF patterns. The fabric is made by spunlace, a process that entangles the fibres with fine high-pressure water jets instead of glue or heat, so the roll stays soft and drapes well. That softness is the reason spunlace is used for wiping materials, where the cloth has to feel good in the hand and still pick up dust, oil and liquid.

What Spunlace Means

In spunlace, a web of fibres is carried under a series of water jet manifolds and over a forming belt or a drum. The jets push the fibres through the web and into each other, and the pattern on the belt or the drum leaves its mark on the surface. The water is then removed and the fabric is dried and wound. There is no chemical binder in the web, so the fabric is soft, absorbent and low in lint, and the pattern can be changed by changing the belt or the drum rather than the fibre blend.

The Small Dot Pattern

The small dot pattern is a regular field of fine dots pressed into the surface. The dots give the cloth a light texture that helps it grip a surface and lifts dust instead of pushing it around, and they break up the flat look of a plain fabric. For a wiping product, the dot pattern also helps the user feel which side is the working side. The pattern is a design choice as much as a functional one, and the same base fabric can be produced with a different pattern for a different customer or a different market.

Where the Fabric Is Used

Spunlace rolls are converted into cleaning wipes for kitchens, workshops, offices and homes, into personal care wipes, and into dry wipes that are packed for a specific task. A converter usually buys the roll, prints or embosses it, cuts it to the pack size and folds it, so the roll has to run cleanly on the converting line without breaking or shedding. The small dot fabric suits products where the wipe is used dry or with a light cleaner, and where the customer expects a soft cloth rather than an abrasive pad.

Spunlace grades are usually compared by weight per square metre, fibre blend and pattern. A heavier fabric feels more substantial and holds more liquid, while a lighter one is cheaper per metre and suits a short-use wipe. The fibre blend decides how the cloth behaves when it is wet: some blends stay strong and some soften quickly. Because the small dot pattern is made on the forming belt, the same weight and blend can be supplied with a plain, mesh or diamond surface when a different look or a different grip is needed.

What to Confirm Before Ordering

The buyer should confirm the roll width, the core size, the winding direction, the length per roll and the pack method, because these decide whether the roll fits the unwinder. The fabric weight, the fibre blend and the pattern are the three items that set the feel and the absorbency, and a sample is the best way to compare them on the actual converting line. If the wipe will be packed wet, the lotion and the pack material should be tested with the fabric before a full order, since some lotions change the hand and the strength of the cloth over time.

Storage also matters for a spunlace roll. The roll should stay wrapped until it is loaded on the line, because dust and moisture settle on an open roll and show up as marks in the finished wipe. Rolls should be stored flat or on a proper rack, away from direct sunlight, and the oldest stock should be used first. A converter who tells us the storage conditions and the time between delivery and use gets a packing suggestion that matches the site.

A trial roll is the simplest way to start. We send a sample of the small dot fabric, the converter runs it on the line, and the result shows whether the width, the winding and the hand are right before a production order is placed. If a different pattern or a different weight would suit the product better, the same plant can produce it, so the first sample usually settles more than one question at once.
