Nonwoven materials are manufactured through a technological process in which knitting or weaving is eliminated. Synthetic and natural fibers, as well as combinations thereof, are used in the production of nonwoven materials.

Synthetic fibers, such as polyester, polypropylene, and others, have high strength and abrasion resistance. Fibers obtained from petroleum products have a natural affinity and chemical attraction to oil-based products. Therefore, synthetic materials for surface wiping effectively remove and retain dirt and oil-based contaminants.

Natural fibers used in nonwoven materials include cotton, cellulose, and viscose. Their presence gives the material a soft texture, aiding in better liquid absorption and dirt collection, as the thin fibers create a large contact surface.

The manufacturing process of nonwoven materials consists of fiber formation and fixing stages.

The first stage involves various technologies, with the most popular being dry forming, wet forming, and spunbonding.

In the second stage, the resulting material undergoes one of the following processes: hydroentangling - using high-pressure water jets, thermal bonding - melting synthetic fibers, or adhesive bonding - using adhesive compositions and immersing or printing the material, which is more common in the case of natural fibers.

Finished Tork non-woven materials are available in the form of rolls and napkins made of non-woven material with various characteristics, which can be consulted in an overview in Toreco showroom.
