The porous nonwoven structure allows air circulation and moisture vapor transmission, helping maintain skin integrity during extended wear.

Stable Tensile Strength

Our spunlace fabric provides reliable mechanical strength during coating, slitting, rewinding, and end-use applications.

Low Lint Generation

The entangled fiber network reduces fiber shedding, making the material suitable for healthcare and wound care environments.

Easy Converting Performance

Compatible with hot melt, acrylic, and medical-grade pressure-sensitive adhesives.
