The differences between bamboo spunlace and viscose spunlace

The following is a detailed comparison table of bamboo fiber spunlace nonwoven fabric and viscose spunlace nonwoven fabric, presenting the differences between the two intuitively from the core dimension:

 

Comparison dimension

Bamboo fiber spunlace non-woven fabric

Viscose spunlace non-woven fabric

Source of raw materials Using bamboo as raw material (natural bamboo fiber or regenerated bamboo pulp fiber), the raw material has strong renewability and a short growth cycle (1-2 years) Viscose fiber, which is made from natural cellulose such as wood and cotton linters and regenerated through chemical treatment, relies on wood resources
Production process characteristics The pretreatment should control the fiber length (38-51mm) and reduce the pulping degree to avoid brittle fiber breakage When performing spunlacing, it is necessary to control the water flow pressure because viscose fibers are prone to breakage in a wet state (the wet strength is only 10%-20% of the dry strength).
Water absorption The porous structure enables a fast water absorption rate, and the saturated water absorption capacity is approximately 6 to 8 times its own weight It is excellent, with a high proportion of amorphous regions, a faster water absorption rate, and a saturated water absorption capacity that can reach 8 to 10 times its own weight
Air permeability Outstanding, with a natural porous structure, its air permeability is 15%-20% higher than that of viscose fiber Good. The fibers are loosely arranged, but the air permeability is slightly lower than that of bamboo fibers
Mechanical properties The dry strength is moderate, and the wet strength decreases by approximately 30% (better than viscose). It has good wear resistance. The dry strength is moderate, while the wet strength decreases significantly (only 10%-20% of the dry strength). The wear resistance is average.
Antibacterial property Natural antibacterial (containing bamboo quinone), with an inhibition rate of over 90% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus (bamboo fiber is even better) It has no natural antibacterial property and can only be achieved by adding antibacterial agents through post-treatment
Hand feel It is relatively stiff and has a slight “bony” feel. After repeated rubbing, its shape stability is good It is softer and smoother, with a fine touch to the skin, but it is prone to wrinkling
Environmental resistance Resistant to weak acids and alkalis, but not resistant to high temperatures (prone to shrinkage above 120℃) Resistant to weak acids and alkalis, but has poor heat resistance in a wet state (prone to deformation above 60℃)
Typical application scenarios Baby wipes (antibacterial requirements), kitchen cleaning cloths (wear-resistant), inner layers of masks (breathable) Adult makeup remover wipes (soft and absorbent), beauty masks (with good adhesion), disposable towels (highly absorbent)
Environmental protection features The raw materials have strong renewability and a relatively fast natural degradation rate (about 3 to 6 months). The raw material relies on wood, with a moderate degradation rate (about 6 to 12 months), and the production process involves a lot of chemical treatment

 

It can be clearly seen from the table that the core differences between the two lie in the source of raw materials, antibacterial properties, mechanical properties and application scenarios. When choosing, it is necessary to adapt according to specific requirements (such as whether antibacterial properties are needed, water absorption requirements, usage environment, etc.).
