Product Overview
D-TEX’s water-repellent woodpulp-polyester nonwoven is a high-performance material engineered to provide liquid resistance while maintaining strength and durability. With a 55% woodpulp (cellulose) and 45% polyester composition, this material combines the absorbency and softness of pulp with the tensile strength of polyester fibers.
The nonwoven fabric undergoes a water-repellent treatment, providing liquid barrier performance for applications such as disposable surgical gowns, surgical drapes, and protective medical fabrics. Available in white, blue, and medical green, it is designed to meet aesthetic and functional requirements for medical and industrial applications.
Using a cross-laid fiber structure, the material provides high tensile strength in both machine and cross directions, supporting durability and performance in various applications. The nonwoven can be manufactured with an effective width of up to 320 cm, making it suitable for large-format fabrics and wide-width applications.
