hot-air non-woven fabric

What is Hot-Air Non-Woven?

Hot-air non-woven, also known as air-through thermal-bonded non-woven, is a special type of nonwoven fabric made by sending a fluffy web of bicomponent fibers (usually PE/PET or PE/PP core-sheath fibers) through a hot-air oven. The hot air melts only the lower-melting outer sheath of the fibers, fusing them together at contact points without compressing the web, resulting in a very soft, bulky, and highly breathable three-dimensional structure with excellent air permeability and low linting.

This unique combination of high loft, fast liquid acquisition, and efficient lateral wicking makes hot-air non-woven the preferred material for the acquisition-distribution layer (ADL) in modern disposable hygiene products such as baby diapers, adult incontinence pads, and feminine sanitary napkins. It rapidly pulls moisture away from the skin, spreads it evenly toward the absorbent core, and helps keep the wearer feeling dry and comfortable.

Hot-Air Non-Woven FAQ

  • 5. Can hot air non-woven fabric be customized for specific performance needs?

    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.

  • 4. What is the typical weight and thickness range of hot air non-woven fabrics?

    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.

  • 3. What are the key advantages of hot air non-woven compared to other non-wovens?

    • Extremely soft and skin-friendly (no chemical binders)
    • High loft and excellent bulk recovery (feels fluffy even after compression)
    • Superior air permeability and breathability
    • Good liquid acquisition and distribution properties
    • Eco-friendlier production process (no latex or adhesives)
    • Low linting and suitable for sensitive skin applications
  • 2. What are the main applications of hot air non-woven fabric?

    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.

  • 1. What is hot air non-woven fabric?

    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.
