In 1878, the British company William Bywater successfully developed the world’s first acupuncture machine.
In 1900, the James Hunter company of the United States started the development and research on the industrial production of non-woven fabrics.
In 1942, a company in the United States produced thousands of yards of non-woven fabrics made by bonding, started the industrial production of non-woven fabrics, and officially named the product “Nonwoven fabric”.
In 1951, the United States developed meltblown non-woven fabrics.
In 1959, the United States and Europe successfully researched the spin-laid non-woven fabric.
In the late 1950s, the low-speed paper machine was transformed into a wet-laid non-woven machine, and the production of wet-laid non-woven fabrics began.
From 1958 to 1962, Chicot Corporation of the United States obtained the patent for the production of non-woven fabrics by spunlace method, and it did not officially start mass production until the 1980s.
My country began to study non-woven fabrics in 1958. In 1965, my country’s first non-woven fabric factory, Shanghai Non-woven Fabric Factory, was established in Shanghai. In recent years, it has developed rapidly, but there is still a certain gap compared with developed countries in terms of quantity, variety and quality.
The producers of non-woven fabrics are mainly concentrated in the United States (41% of the world), Western Europe accounts for 30%, Japan accounts for 8%, China’s production only accounts for 3.5% of the world’s production, but its consumption is 17.5% of the world’s .
The application of non-woven fabrics in sanitary absorbent materials, medical, transportation, and shoe-making textile materials has increased significantly.
Judging from the status quo of technological development, the international non-woven technology equipment is developing in the direction of wide width, high efficiency, and mechatronics, making full use of modern high-tech achievements, and constantly updating production equipment and processes rapidly to improve performance, speed , efficiency, automatic control and other aspects have been significantly improved.
