One of Yuzhimu’s highlights will be high performance nonwoven fabric, a unique solution for improved air quality. The pleatable medium has a built-in filtration capacity layer and can be used as a carrier in the manufacturing of cabin air, room air and HVAC filters. Yuzhimu combines high performance characteristics such as low pressure drop and high pleat stiffness with a unique fine fiber technology.
Large parallel sets of yarn bundles are fed onto a metal mesh to form an intricately shaped non-woven web. This is subsequently consolidated by heating the web to a temperature where the low-melting skin is molten. The myriads of filament intersections are ‘glued’ to form a very stiff, yet open and dimensionally stable ‘spunlaid’ non-woven with unique properties.
The two separate steps of bi-component polymer yarn spinning and filament laydown & consolidation into a non-woven provides a highly flexible platform to combine yarns with different functionality for various applications including primary backing for tufted carpets, filtration support media and carriers for coatings, laminated polymers etc
