| 100% Viscose Spunlace | 100% viscose rayon, a regenerated cellulose fiber | 30–120 g/m² | Viscose fibers are carded into a web and bonded with high-pressure water jets, followed by drying and optional finishing. | Very soft hand feel, high absorbency, good drape, and a smooth surface. Wet strength is generally lower than that of synthetic-rich grades. | Facial wipes, baby wipes, cosmetic pads, personal-care wipes, and absorbent hygiene materials. | Check wet tensile strength, linting, fiber origin, biodegradability claims, and compatibility with lotion or cleansing formulations. |
| 100% Polyester Spunlace | 100% polyester, commonly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) | 40–200 g/m² | Polyester staple fibers are formed into a web and mechanically entangled by water jets without conventional adhesive binders. | High dry and wet strength, good abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, and relatively low moisture absorption. | Industrial wiping cloths, filtration support layers, automotive interiors, protective covers, and durable cleaning products. | Evaluate strength retention, thermal resistance, surface lint, electrostatic behavior, and whether a low-lint specification is required. |
| Viscose–Polyester Blend | Common blends include 50/50, 60/40, or 70/30 viscose/polyester | 35–150 g/m² | The two staple-fiber types are blended or layered, formed into a web, and hydroentangled to balance softness, absorbency, and strength. | Balanced absorbency and tensile strength, soft touch, good processing flexibility, and broad finishing options. | Household wipes, general-purpose cleaning cloths, medical wipes, hygiene products, and industrial wipes. | Confirm blend ratio, wet and dry tensile values, absorbency rate, lint level, and disposal or environmental requirements. |
| Lyocell Spunlace | 100% lyocell or lyocell blended with viscose or polyester | 35–100 g/m² | Cellulosic staple fibers are carded and bonded through hydroentanglement; the fabric may then receive aperturing, calendaring, or lotion-compatible finishing. | Soft and smooth surface, strong absorbency, good wet strength for a cellulosic fiber, and a premium textile-like feel. | Premium facial wipes, cosmetic sheets, personal-care wipes, medical dressing components, and specialty hygiene products. | Verify fiber certification, wet strength, dispersibility or flushability claims, and compatibility with the target market’s labeling rules. |
| Polypropylene Spunlace | 100% polypropylene (PP) | 25–120 g/m² | PP staple fibers are formed into a web and mechanically entangled with water jets; finishing can modify softness, hydrophilicity, or antistatic performance. | Low density, low moisture absorption, chemical resistance, and good strength-to-weight ratio. Untreated PP is naturally hydrophobic. | Medical and industrial wipes, filtration media, protective packaging, and technical nonwoven components. | Check hydrophilic treatment, chemical compatibility, odor, static control, thermal limits, and applicable medical or hygiene regulations. |
| Cotton Spunlace | 100% cotton or cotton blended with regenerated or synthetic fibers | 40–150 g/m² | Cotton fibers are cleaned, carded into a web, and bonded by hydroentanglement; bleaching or other wet processing may be applied afterward. | Natural hand feel, good absorbency, breathability, and comfort. It may shrink or lose strength when repeatedly exposed to moisture and processing. | Cosmetic wipes, medical swabs, wound-care materials, personal-care products, and reusable-style cleaning cloths. | Review absorbency, lint, whiteness, sterilization compatibility, shrinkage, cotton sourcing, and required cleanliness level. |
| Bamboo-Cellulose Spunlace | Regenerated cellulose derived from bamboo, often blended with viscose or other fibers | 35–100 g/m² | Regenerated bamboo cellulose fibers are carded and hydroentangled; the fabric may be softened, apertured, or treated for improved wet performance. | Soft, absorbent, and comfortable. Performance depends on the regeneration process and any blended fibers; “bamboo” does not automatically mean mechanically processed bamboo fiber. | Facial wipes, baby-care products, cosmetic masks, personal-care wipes, and soft household cloths. | Confirm whether the material is regenerated cellulose, request fiber-content documentation, and assess biodegradability and certification claims. |
| Apertured Spunlace | Viscose, polyester, lyocell, polypropylene, or blended fibers | 35–100 g/m² | A hydroentangled web is patterned or perforated during bonding or by a subsequent process to create an open, textured surface. | Improved liquid transfer, lotion distribution, cleansing action, texture, and surface coverage compared with a flat construction. | Wet wipes, exfoliating wipes, cosmetic sheets, medical cleaning materials, and specialty cleaning cloths. | Specify aperture pattern, open area, thickness, softness, liquid-holding capacity, and resistance to tearing during use. |
| Quilted or Laminated Spunlace | Spunlace combined with film, tissue, foam, or another nonwoven layer | 80–250 g/m² | One or more spunlace layers are combined by thermal, adhesive, ultrasonic, or mechanical methods, depending on the required barrier and bonding performance. | Higher thickness, cushioning, barrier performance, tear resistance, and structural stability than a single-layer spunlace sheet. | Absorbent pads, medical underpads, protective covers, automotive components, and technical packaging. | Check layer construction, bonding method, delamination resistance, moisture barrier, breathability, and recycling compatibility. |
