Alginate Fiber for for Non-Woven Material.

What is alginate fiber?

Alginate fiber is one type of artificial fiber, and refers to the fiber prepared with sodium alginate extracted from ocean alga plants as raw materials.

Where is alginate fiber from?

Raw materials of alginate fiber is from algae in oceans. At present,the number of known alga types exceeds 22,000. Algae are widely distributed in the whole world and can be roughly classified into red algae,brown algae,green algae and blue algae according to colors. 

Classification of alginate fiber.

Alginate fiber includes alginate salt fiber and alginic acid fiber. The fiber prepared by making sodium alginate and polyva-lent metal ions exchanged and subjected to a chelation reaction is alginate salt fiber which is divided into calcium alginate fiber,silver alginate fiber,zinc alginate fiber and the like according to the different types of metal ions; Classification of alginate fiber.

ALGINATE FIBER FEATURE

(1) Flame-retardant performance
The flame-retardant performance of the product is excellent.the limit oxygen index (LOl) is larger than or equal to 45%: in the combustion process, basically no flue gas is generated, no toxic gas is generated and melting and driciping can not happen, and the performance is far superior to that of the flame-retardant fiber frequenty seen on the cumunt market.

(2) Moisture absorption performance
The moisture absorption performance of the alginate fiber applied to the field of textiles and garments and used as garment materials is excellent, the moisture regain exceeds 16%,and the alginate fiber can compare favorably with high-grade long stapled cotton fiber due to the comfort and has the excellent hand feeling and wearing comfort which are similar to those of silk.

(3)High absorptivity and gel obstruction performance

Alginate fiber applied to the biomedical field can absorb a large amount of wound effusion, and therefore the number of bandage replacement times is decreased, the nursing time is shortened, and nursing expenses are reduced.

(4) Hemostasis moisture preservation and high removability
After Ca2+ in biomedical alginate fiber and Na+ in blood are exchanged, the blood coagulation and escharosis speed is increased; meanwhile, soft gel is formed after fiber absorbs exudate and expands, and a protection effect on regenerated soft and tender tissue is achieved; fiber can be washed away by spraying warm saline water, and secondary injuries caused when gauze is removed are prevented.
(5) Antibacterial performance
Alginate fiber has the excellent anti-bacterial performance, the antibacterial rate of escherichia coli reaches up to 99%, and the antibacterial rate of staphylococcus aureus reaches up to 99%.

(6) Anti-radiation performance

The anti-electromagnetic radiation performance of alginate fiber is obviously superior to that of conventional viscose.

(7) Biocompatibility and degradability

Alginate fiber is extracted from natural plant components and has biocompatibility and degradability.


ALGINATE FIBER FOR NON-WOVEN MATERIALS USE

Nonwoven alginate fiber is calcium alginate fiber prepared through the special technology, improved by means of wet spinning, with sodium alginate as raw materials. The limit oxygen index (LOl) of fiber is larger than or equal to 45%,fiber is extinguished by itself when leaving fire and cannot be combusted in air, cannot form smoke, and cannot be melted or generate molten drops. The moisture regain of fiber exceeds 16%, comfort of fiber exceeds that of long stapled cotton, and the handle feeling of fiber is similar to those of silk and wool. The average strength of fiber exceeds 2.0 cN/dtex, and fiber is suitable for preparing various specifications of nonwoven materials prepared through processing technologies such as water punching and needle punching.

Main application
(1) various specifications of neddle-punched non-woven fabric.
(2) various specifications of water-punched non-woven fabric.

(1)Delivery time: within 20 days upon receipt of the payment.
(2)Packing Details: PP woven bag; around 270~290KG/bale.
(3)Payment Term: T/T.
