SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond), SMMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond) and SSMMS (Spunbond-Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond) and other high-performance spunbond meltblown composite non-woven fabrics have become important products on the market. These innovative non-woven fabrics have been widely used in many fields such as medical, hygiene, filtration, and industry due to their unique structure and performance.
SMS: A layer of meltblown (Meltblown) non-woven fabric is sandwiched between two layers of spunbond non-woven fabric. The meltblown layer gives the material better filtration performance, while the spunbond layer provides structural strength and durability.
SMMS: Similar to the SMS structure, but the middle meltblown layer is increased to two layers, making the material more advantageous in filtration and breathability.
SSMMS: This is a further upgraded version of SMS and SMMS, containing more meltblown layers, providing higher filtration efficiency and stronger protection performance, and is commonly used in protective materials against harmful substances and bacteria.
The main characteristics of these non-woven fabrics are high strength, high filtration efficiency, good air permeability and suitability for a variety of different application scenarios.
Application fields of SMS/SMMS/SSMMS non-woven fabrics
Medical and health fields
In the medical industry, especially in surgical gowns, masks, protective clothing and other fields, SMS/SMMS/SSMMS non-woven fabrics have become important raw materials due to their excellent filtration performance and protection. Especially in protective clothing, the high-level structure of SSMMS can effectively prevent liquid penetration and protect medical staff from bacteria and viruses.
Air filter materials
Due to the unique fiber structure of the meltblown layer, SMS/SMMS/SSMMS non-woven fabrics are also widely used in air filter materials. These non-woven fabrics can effectively intercept particles in the air and are widely used in air filters in industry, automobiles, and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems.
Hygiene products
The softness, comfort and high water absorption of SMS/SMMS nonwovens make them an ideal choice in personal care and hygiene products such as adult diapers, baby diapers, sanitary napkins, etc.
Packaging industry
These high-performance nonwovens are also widely used in the packaging industry, especially in packaging materials that require high strength and tensile resistance. They are often used in the packaging of high-end products to provide an additional layer of protection.
Automotive industry
In the automotive industry, SMS and SMMS nonwoven materials are used in many fields such as interior decoration, seats, sound insulation, flame retardancy, etc. They not only have good physical properties, but also can adapt to different working environments and temperature changes.
Advantages of SMS/SMMS/SSMMS nonwovens
High filtration efficiency: Especially SSMMS nonwovens, due to the superposition of multiple layers of meltblown materials, its filtration performance is greatly improved, which can effectively block fine particles, bacteria and viruses.
Good breathability: Despite the high density of filter layers, these nonwovens still maintain good breathability, so they are very comfortable in applications that need to be worn for a long time.
Softness and comfort: The fiber structure of these materials makes them not only strong but also soft, suitable for applications that come into direct contact with the skin.
Environmental protection: Most SMS/SMMS/SSMMS non-woven materials are recyclable, meet environmental protection requirements, and are suitable for green and environmentally friendly products.
