UV treated (Anti-uv) non woven fabric
During the use and storage of non-woven fabrics, due to the influence of various external factors, some properties of non-woven fabrics will gradually deteriorate, such as deterioration, hardening, mildew, loss of luster, etc., and even reduce strength and breakage, resulting in loss of use value. This phenomenon is called aging of non-woven fabrics.
UV treated (Anti-uv) non woven fabric is an anti-ultraviolet non-woven fabric, which means that the non-woven fabric ages more slowly. Anti-UV non-woven fabric is a non-woven fabric with special chemical additives added.The general amount of anti-uv masterbatch added is 2%-4% and it is widely used in people’s daily life.
Is it necessary to anti-UV (UV treated) PP non-woven bags?
PP non-woven bags are familiar daily necessities.
PP non-woven bags cannot withstand long-term sunlight due to the inherent degradable properties of polypropylene. Ordinary PP non-woven bags will fade after being placed on the balcony for 2-3 months, and even break when carrying a little heavy object, and the fabric will age and weather. In fact, as long as a little anti-aging masterbatch is added when producing non-woven fabrics, the cost will increase a little, and this non-woven bag can be used for several years, extending the service life of the bag.
Furniture lining and sofa backing need anti-uv （anti-aging)
A large number of furniture items also use PP non-woven fabrics, such as fabric sofa linings and sofa bottom fabrics. Friends who have such furniture or sofas at home should have such feelings. Within two years, when cleaning furniture and sofas, you will find that the furniture lining or sofa bottom fabric is easy to tear when disassembling and washing. This is because these fabrics have begun to weather.
The reason is that manufacturers use low-quality polypropylene non-woven fabrics to reduce costs. In fact, as long as anti-uv masterbatch is added when producing this kind of fabric, the service life of the lining can be increased by 1-2 years. There are also pillow linings, mobile simple cloth wardrobes, etc., all have this problem.
PP non woven fabrics used in agriculture and greening fields must be anti-uv (anti-aging)
Agricultural non-woven fabrics are widely used in the field of agricultural production at home and abroad as fruit bagging, agricultural covering materials, plant growth matrix materials, greenhouse materials and farmland soil and water protection materials, and have achieved remarkable results. Since this type of PP non-woven products have to withstand long-term sun exposure, if they are not treated with anti-aging, they will become powdered and damaged within one or two months and lose their use value, causing great losses to farmers. This is due to the structural characteristics of PP itself, which is susceptible to aging and degradation due to factors such as heat, oxygen, light, and environmental climate during processing and use, resulting in a greatly shortened product life. Therefore, improving the weather resistance and durability of PP non-woven fabrics for outdoor use has great economic and social significance.
In terms of urban lawn and green space planting, this type of non-woven fabric has effectively changed the traditional lawn planting method due to its environmentally friendly properties that are harmless to the environment and plants, and has functions such as protection, irrigation, and heat preservation.
In terms of anti-aging of PP non-woven fabrics, the use of anti-UV masterbatch can significantly extend the service life of such non-woven fabric products, such as sun hats, parasols, outdoor billboards, tents, outdoor backpacks, and outdoor sportswear. It is widely used in outdoor products such as outdoor dust covers for automobiles and also requires anti-aging functions.
PP geotextile nonwovens used in geotechnical and construction fields need to be more anti-uv
Europe and the United States began to apply nonwoven fabrics to the geotechnical field, and then gradually promoted it to all parts of the world and achieved rapid development. Among them, PP nonwoven fabrics are widely used due to their characteristics of not easy to deform, acid and alkali resistance, insect resistance, mildew resistance, high strength, convenient storage and transportation, and low price.
Due to long-term exposure to the outdoors, this type of geotechnical nonwoven fabric needs to add anti-uv masterbatch to extend the use time of the geotextile. The masterbatch can be directly mixed with the raw materials for processing and production. The recommended addition amount is about 2-4%, which can be adjusted according to actual requirements.
