Yes, manufacturers can adjust fiber composition (e.g., finer denier for extra softness, hollow fibers for added warmth), bonding temperature, air volume, and web weight to achieve desired properties such as ultra-soft touch, higher absorbency speed, increased thickness, or even antibacterial functionality by incorporating special fibers. Many suppliers also offer hydrophilic, hydrophobic, or silicone-treated versions to meet the exact requirements of diaper, feminine care, or medical product designers.
Commercial hot air non-woven fabrics usually range from 15 gsm to 100 gsm (grams per square meter). For top-sheet applications in diapers and sanitary napkins, the most common weights are 18–30 gsm, while thicker and fluffier versions (40–100 gsm) are used as ADL or core wrap materials. Thickness can vary from approximately 0.3 mm (very flat types) up to several millimeters for high-loft versions.
It is widely used in hygiene and personal care products where softness and comfort against the skin are critical. Common applications include the top sheet (skin-contact layer) and acquisition distribution layer (ADL) in baby diapers, feminine hygiene pads, adult incontinence products, and wet wipes. It is also used as a soft filling material in masks, air filters, and some medical disposables because of its excellent bulkiness and breathability.
Hot air non-woven (also called hot-air-through non-woven or thermal air-bonded non-woven) is a type of non-woven material produced by using hot air to pass through a web of loose fibers (usually 100% polyester, polypropylene, or bicomponent fibers) on a conveyor or drum. The heat melts or softens the low-melting-point fibers or the sheath of bicomponent fibers, bonding the fiber web together without the use of chemical binders or latex. The result is an extremely soft, fluffy, and breathable non-woven fabric.
