Recently, Changshu Yongdeli Spunlaced Nonwovens Co., Ltd., a company dedicated to the research and production of lyocell and viscose spunlace nonwovens, has conducted a professional analysis of the characteristics of the two mainstream regenerated cellulose spunlace nonwovens materials in the market. As a leading manufacturer in this field, Yongdeli, with its years of production experience and technological accumulation, has clearly identified the core differences between lyocell and viscose spunlace nonwovens, providing authoritative references for downstream customers in material selection and contributing to the quality upgrade of the industry.
Since its establishment, Changshu Yongdeli Spunlaced Nonwovens Co., Ltd. has been focusing on the specialized field of regenerated cellulose spunlace nonwovens. With advanced spunlace production equipment, a rigorous quality control system, and continuous technological innovation capabilities, the company provides high-quality lyocell and viscose spunlace nonwovens for multiple industries including hygiene care, medical dressings, household cleaning, and clothing accessories. The company is well aware of the significant impact of the performance differences between the two materials on application scenarios. This systematic analysis aims to help customers precisely match their needs and maximize the value of their products.
Process and Environmental Protection: Establishing Quality Differences from the Source
As two important branches of regenerated cellulose fibers, the differences in the production processes of lyocell and viscose determine the performance basis of their spunlace nonwovens from the source. This is also a key aspect that Yongdeli focuses on controlling in the production process.
Lyocell fiber adopts a green process of directly dissolving cellulose with N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solvent, achieving a closed-loop production throughout the entire process with a solvent recovery rate of over 95%. It generates almost no wastewater or waste gas, fully meeting the current environmental protection requirements under the "dual carbon" background.
In contrast, traditional viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric uses the "alkali method + carbon disulfide" process, which involves multiple chemical reactions such as alkalization, xanthation, and dissolution. The carbon disulfide used in the production process is toxic and generates a large amount of wastewater and waste gas, resulting in high environmental treatment costs.
Core Performance: The Key to Adaptation in Different Scenarios
Due to the process differences, Lyocell and viscose spunlace nonwoven fabrics exhibit significant differences in physical properties, which is an important basis for Yongdeli to provide customized solutions for customers.
In terms of strength and stability, Lyocell spunlace nonwoven fabric shows obvious advantages. Its fiber structure is tighter and more stable, with balanced dry and wet strength performance. Even in a moist environment, it can maintain good strength and is less prone to stretching deformation or damage. This characteristic makes it highly favored in scenarios with high requirements for strength and stability, such as medical dressings and high-end hygiene care products. The Lyocell spunlace nonwoven fabric produced by Yongdeli, after multiple optimizations of the spunlacing process, has a more uniform fiber entanglement and a 15% increase in wet tensile strength compared to the industry average, further expanding its application boundaries.
Viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric, on the other hand, has the characteristics of soft dry hand feel and good moisture absorption. However, its wet strength drops to about 50% of the dry state, and it is prone to deformation and pilling. To address this issue, Yongdeli optimizes the dry state performance of viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric by adjusting the spunlacing pressure and fiber ratio, enabling it to leverage its cost advantage in scenarios such as dry cleaning cloths and clothing linings while ensuring basic usage requirements.
In other key performance aspects, Lyocell spunlace nonwoven fabric also has excellent drape and breathability, is less prone to pilling after multiple uses, and has stronger washability, maintaining its original shape and texture even after multiple washes. Viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric, on the other hand, excels in dry state moisture absorption but has poor washability, often shrinking, hardening, and losing luster after water washing.
Application Scenarios: A Guide for Precise Material Selection
Combining the performance differences of the two materials, Yongdeli provides precise material selection suggestions for customers in different industries. Lyocell spunlace nonwoven fabric, with its advantages of environmental friendliness, high strength, and washability, is mainly applied in high-end medical dressings (such as wound dressings and gauze), high-end baby wipes, high-end household cleaning cloths, and intimate clothing accessories, perfectly meeting the demands of the high-end market with its green attributes and high-quality characteristics.
Viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric, with its high cost-effectiveness, is widely used in ordinary hygiene wipes, disposable cleaning cloths, economy clothing linings, and packaging materials. It demonstrates strong competitiveness in areas sensitive to cost and with low requirements for wet strength.
Yongdeli: Empowering Customer Value with Professional Strength
"Whether it's the high-end quality of Lyocell or the high cost-effectiveness of viscose, the core lies in precisely matching material characteristics with customer needs," said by the general manager of Changshu Yongdeli Spunlaced Nonwoven Fabric Co., Ltd. The company not only has the large-scale production capacity of both materials' spunlace nonwoven fabrics but also provides a full range of services from material selection, process customization to sample testing based on customers' specific application scenarios.
In the future, Changshu Yongdeli Spunlaced Nonwoven Fabric Co., Ltd. will continue to focus on the field of regenerated cellulose spunlace nonwoven fabrics, continuously invest in technological research and development, optimize production processes, further enhance the performance advantages of Lyocell and viscose products, and provide more competitive solutions for customers in various industries, contributing to the continuous development of the industry towards green and high-quality directions.
