Viscose Polyester Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric Procurement Decision Guide: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

2026-02-12
Abstract
Regarding spunlace nonwoven fabrics, selecting the appropriate ratio and specifications is key to balancing product quality and cost. Below are six core technical indicators you must understand before placing an order:

1. How does the polyester viscose ratio impact your finished product's performance?

As a purchaser, you should choose the blend based on the end product's positioning:
High viscose ratio (e.g., 70% viscose/30% polyester): Exceptional absorbency and softness, ideal for baby wipes and facial cleansing sheets.
Balanced ratio (e.g., 50% viscose/50% polyester): Offers the most balanced performance, currently the most widely circulated and versatile specification on the market.
High polyester ratio (e.g., 20% viscose/80% polyester): Offers significant cost advantages and exceptional physical tensile strength, suitable for wipes and similar applications.

2. Core Value of Viscose-Polyester Blends

Cost Controllability: Compared to pure viscose nonwovens, blended fabrics significantly reduce raw material costs.
Performance Synergy: Polyester provides mechanical strength (preventing wet tearing), while viscose delivers functionality (absorbing liquids/moisture). This combination offers the highest current return on investment (ROI).

3. Why Your Order Should Choose Blended Over Pure Polyester 

While pure polyester is cheaper, its hydrophobicity compromises user experience in wet wipes or beauty applications. Adding viscose yields a cotton-like feel, enhancing product usability.

4. Recommended Specifications by Industry

Beauty/Hygiene: Opt for pearl weave or similar patterns at 40-80 GSM for premium texture.
Medical/Care Sector: Prioritize liquid absorption and dust-free properties, typically requiring plain weave or 22-mesh fabric.
Industrial Wiping: Focus on abrasion resistance; recommend high-polyester-content fabrics (60-80 GSM).
Packaging Industry: Emphasize thickness and softness; recommend blended fabrics (40-70 GSM).

5. Environmental Compliance Recommendations: Distinguishing Viscose from Polyester

Amid global plastic reduction initiatives, buyers should note:
For European clients or those with strict eco/biodegradability requirements, increase viscose content or consult our “100% Biodegradable” viscose-only series.
Standard viscose-polyester blends cannot be labeled “ biodegradable” due to polyester content.
Flushable: Viscose-polyester white fabric fibers interlock with extremely high bonding strength. Do not flush directly to avoid clogging. For flushable wipes production, contact us to select our “flushable” series.

6. Grammage (GSM) Selection Guide:

Grammage Tolerance: Typically within ±5%.
Effective Width: Ensures clean edges and minimizes waste from trimming during further processing.
Lightweight (30-50 GSM): Suitable for disposable cosmetic pads and lightweight cleaning wipes.
Utility Grade (50-70 GSM): The “golden weight” in the wipe industry, balancing thickness and cost.
Heavy-Duty Grade (70-120 GSM): Suitable for premium facial wipes, medical dressings, and heavy-duty industrial oil stain removal.
