What is Hot Air through Nonwoven

Hot air through nonwoven, also called ATB nonwoven and through-air nonwoven, is a type of nonwoven made using the thermal bonding process, it utilizes heated air to bond ES fibers together. This method is known for creating soft, lofty, and breathable nonwovens.

Our ATB nonwovens are processed by double-carding technology for creating nonwovens with specific features, such as softness, liquid infiltration, liquid backflow, weak acid, or more, becoming increasingly popular in baby diapers and pants, feminine sanitary napkins and panty liners. 

These nonwovens make an important contribution to premium hygiene product needs.

PRODUCTS

Our hot air through bonding nonwovens categories: comfort, weak acid, antibacterial, super dry, silky, extreme softness, and tencel are designed to meet different needs. All can be used in hygiene products where high softness and comfort are essential, such as topsheet, backsheet, waistband.

SUNREE Weak Acid hot air through nonwoven uses weak acid ES fibers combined with added vitamin E, promoting skin pH balance and preserving the skin’s natural acidic barrier. Improved heat resistance also ensures long-lasting strong hydrophilic properties and superior protection, comfort, and performance.

SUNREE Antibactecial hot air through nonwoven uses plant-based antimicrobial agents for lasting antibacterial protection. It inhibits staphylococcus aureus, candida albicans, fungi, and molds, effectively preventing bacterial growth while ensuring skin safety and comfort. Complies with GB-T 20944-2 and ASTM E 2149 standards.

SUNREE Super Dry hot air through nonwoven uses the single-point permeation treatment, allowing liquid to rapidly penetrate a targeted area into the acquisition distribution layer and absorbent core, while keeping the surrounding areas dry. This ensures prolonged skin dryness, effectively reducing the risk of rash in babies.

SUNREE Extreme Softness hot air through nonwoven uses ultra-fine fibers, offering a silky-smooth touch and delicate texture that gently cares for the skin. Its lightweight design ensures a thinner, more comfortable experience for the wearers.

SUNREE Natural Silky hot air through nonwoven is infused with silk protein bio-essence, and enriched with amino acids for exceptional moisturizing properties. It creates a natural protective barrier upon skin contact, enhancing hydration, and delivering antioxidant benefits. It is particularly effective in caring for sensitive skin.

SUNREE Plant Essence hot air through nonwoven combines natural plant extracts like tea polyphenols, aloe polysaccharides, flavonoids, and/or vitamins from green tea, aloe vera, chamomile, or cottonseed oil into fibers. Its molecular structure closely resembles human sebum, enhances moisture, provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, and ensures gentle care for sensitive skin.

SUNREE Comfort hot air through nonwoven is our standard hydrophobic and hydrophilic nonwoven series, engineered to provide superior softness while maintaining cost-efficiency.

TECHNOLOGY

It is an integrated one-step process based on hot air through thermal bonding technologies. It creates superior softness compared to traditional spunbond nonwovens.

Leveraging our existing hot air through bonding technology platform, extensive expertise, and innovation approach, we have developed functional air through bonding nonwoven with varying degrees of softness to meet the needs of diverse markets.

SUNREE hot air through bonding nonwovens range addresses diverse functional needs, like low-melting point, weak acid, rapid penetration, antibacterial, extreme-soft, super dry,  and natural skin-friendly series,.Additionally, plant extracts like green tea, chamomile, aloe vera, and olive oil can be added to provide hydration, improve skin conditions, and deliver gentle care for delicate skin.

No matter which product you need, we work with a long list of general characteristics of our nonwovens.

Manufacturing Process

It is a long way from resin to nonwoven in a spunbond process and attention to detail in every link of the chain is required.

Raw material preparation, polymer resin and various additives like color masterbatch are the raw materials used in the production of our nonwovens.

Drying and melting, the raw materials are dried to remove moisture and then melted in an extruder to prepare for fiber formation.

Spunbond layer formation, the melted polymer is extruded through spinnerets with numerous small holes, forming continuous filaments. The extruded filaments are cooled using air and then stretched to align the fibers, enhancing their strength. The filaments are laid down on a moving belt to form a web structure.

Meltblown layer formation, the polymer is extruded through a linear die containing small orifices. High-velocity hot air is used to attenuate the molten polymer into fine fibers (1-5µm). The fine fibers are blown onto a collector screen, forming a meltblown web that serves as the middle layer of nonwoven.

Thermal bonding, the web is thermo-bonded using heated rollers to form a final nonwoven with optimum characteristics.

Application of surfactant, for some products, hydrophilic or antistatic properties are desired. This is obtained by in-line application of surfactant.

Cutting and roll-up, The spunmelt nonwoven fabric is scanned by cameras for quality control before being rolled onto shafts in large jumbo rolls, and subsequently slit into the required smaller width rolls and packed according to customer requirements. 

QUALITY

Superior product quality is nothing but a good standard. It is reliability in every step of the process that is hard to come by.
