The Characteristics of Non-Woven Fabric and its Use in Agriculture

  Non-woven fabrics have been produced in the early

stages of the development of the petrochemical industry. At that time, they only used their

softness and bulkiness for packaging, covering, filling, and other materials. Due to the

rapid development of materials science, the application scope of non-woven fabrics has

expanded to various fields of industry and commerce, civil engineering, medical treatment,

agriculture and environmental engineering, and its existence can be seen everywhere.
    Non-woven industry development
    Non-woven fabric is a product of the petrochemical industry after the development of

plastic cloth (membrane). Compared with plastic cloth (membrane), its characteristics are

lightness and good ventilation. Its materials are mostly used in medical and sanitary

materials and environmental protection, such as sanitary napkins, facial towels, and

Filters, etc., which were later developed and applied in engineering such as process tubes.

Agricultural origin non-woven fabrics are used in vegetable production to prevent cold

damage.
    The Medical Non Woven Fabric

is different from the general plastic film or cloth in its production process. The

basic materials are almost the same raw materials, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PE

(polyethylene), EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate copolymer), PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), and so on.
    The traditional plastic film is formed into a thin film after the plastic is melted and

inflated. Basically, the film is continuous. The material extends indefinitely. The surface

of the film does not have any pores. It is a completely impermeable film. Block the

movement and exchange of any molecules on both sides.
    After the expansion of the textile industry, chemical fibers, that is, artificial

fibers made from the above-mentioned raw materials replaced most natural plant fibers and

became the darling of the textile industry. But basically, these chemical fibers are still

formed into cloth through the traditional warp and weft weaving.
    The so-called Spunbond Non

Woven Fabric is formed by intersecting the fibers on the same plane from various

angles in all directions, instead of using traditional warp and weft methods. Compared with

traditional woven fabrics, it has better material properties. At the same time, its

production process can be done from raw materials to finished products in one go. The

process of traditional weaving, drawing into fibers, and then weaving is saved, and the

production cost is lower. In fact, non-woven fabrics have also been widely used in the

apparel industry in recent years.
    In recent years, due to the improvement of material science and the development of

production technology, non-woven fabrics have become more diverse and used more and more

widely. According to the characteristics of different materials, the

Nonwoven Tablecloth produced can

be seen everywhere in our life. The development of non-woven fabrics in agriculture is

mainly due to their lightness, simple operation, low cost, diversity, and wide range of

applications.
    Application of non-woven fabrics in the agricultural industry
    Non-woven fabrics were applied to agriculture, and were first used in Europe in 1978 as

carrots to keep warm for early harvesting and to prevent TYLCV and whitefly).
    The United States has also promoted the application of non-woven fabrics in

agriculture, such as cantaloupe, sweet peppers, tomatoes, root vegetables, carrots,

radishes, cabbage, lettuce, and other mulching cultivation.

Agriculture Non Woven Fabric

is mainly used for heat preservation, early harvest of cultivation, and insect

control effect. Later, the difference in the properties of non-woven materials was used to

cover the border surface, as a grass-proof mat, and to increase soil temperature and water

retention. In addition, the water absorption of short fiber is also used to produce

absorbent blankets, which are applied to the laying of nursery beds, so that the roots can

fully absorb water. Or it can be used as the bottom medium for turf production, or even

directly used as garden grassland for moisturizing, draining, and dividing the garden.

There are also large woody plants such as garden trees and fruit trees in planting bags and

container cultivation techniques. Or large trees such as fruit trees, the rhizosphere

prevents weeds and moisturizes.
