Why Does Nonwoven Fabric Rot?

● Natural decay caused by material properties

The nonwoven fabric is mainly composed of fibers, which will undergo oxidation, hydrolysis and other reactions under the influence of oxygen, moisture and microorganisms in the natural environment during the long-term use process, resulting in the gradual decline of the performance of the nonwoven fabric material and the occurrence of decay.

● Environmental factors cause decay

In the process of use or storage, if the nonwoven fabric is in a humid environment or comes into contact with corrosive substances for a long time, it will accelerate the rotting process of the material. The change of humidity and temperature will also cause the fiber structure inside the nonwoven fabric material to change, leading to a decrease in its physical properties and eventually rotting.

● Biodegradation

As a biodegradable material, nonwoven fabric will be decomposed by microorganisms during use. Microorganisms will reproduce on the surface of nonwoven fabric, producing enzymes and other decomposing substances. These substances will destroy the fiber structure, causing the nonwoven fabric to deteriorate gradually.

●Effects of mechanical injuries

The use of nonwoven fabric is subject to mechanical damage such as friction and tearing, which will cause fiber breakage and accelerate the rotting process. In addition, long-term weathering will also damage the surface of the nonwoven fabric, leading to a decline in material performance.

In summary, the reason why nonwoven fabric will deteriorate is mainly due to the joint action of its material properties, environmental factors, biodegradation, and mechanical damage. In the process of use, it is necessary to pay attention to the preservation environment and use conditions, avoid being in a humid and corrosive environment for a long time, and avoid mechanical damage to extend the service life of nonwoven fabric.
