For the first time in Masuda's history, nonwoven fabric has been added to its standard materials!
*What is nonwoven fabric?
As the name suggests, it is a fabric made without weaving.
Unlike woven and knitted fabrics, which do not require processes such as thread → weaving/knitting → dyeing, it has the advantage of being able to be produced at lower cost than woven and knitted fabrics.
The drawback was that the roll surface and production lot size were very large, limiting the applications in which it could be used.
So, by stocking this material, Masuda is able to produce incredibly small lots for nonwoven fabric materials!!
Now available in 100m rolls (small rolls are 16m)!
<SP1070E> is a polypropylene (PP) spun nonwoven fabric(※1).
PP has characteristics that nylon and polyester do not have.
<Characteristics of Polypropylene (PP)>
It has the lightest specific gravity of all fibers and floats on water (specific gravity: 0.91). It is completely hydrophobic and resistant to dryness and moisture.
It has low thermal conductivity and therefore high heat retention.
It has excellent heat processability and can be laminated or heat fused. (PP has a softening point of about 130℃ and a melting point of about 160℃) For reference: Polyester has a softening point of about 240℃ and a melting point of about 260℃
It can be used for a wide range of purposes, including clothing materials (bedding, furniture, interior materials), industrial materials (vehicle interior materials, core materials, filters), general packaging materials, and agricultural materials.
Its low price makes it suitable for disposable use.
