As global demand for high-performance nonwoven fabrics continues to rise, D-TEX announces a comprehensive upgrade to its core product lineup—SMS, SMMS, and SS nonwoven materials. The three structures are engineered to meet diversified needs across medical protection, industrial hygiene, filtration, and personal care markets. This report provides a comparative overview of the three materials, highlighting their structural differences, performance advantages, and ideal application scenarios.
Material Structure Overview
SMS Nonwoven – Spunbond / Meltblown / Spunbond
SMS is a three-layer composite structure combining two spunbond layers with a meltblown filtration core.
• Balanced protection and breathability
• High bacterial and particle barrier performance
• Suitable for medical and industrial protective products
SMMS Nonwoven – Spunbond / Meltblown / Meltblown / Spunbond
SMMS enhances the SMS structure by adding an additional meltblown layer, providing:
• Higher filtration efficiency
• Better uniformity in fine fiber distribution
• Superior barrier performance for high-grade medical products
SS Nonwoven – Double Spunbond Structure
SS is a dual-layer spunbond–spunbond nonwoven fabric known for:
• High mechanical strength
• Low linting and clean processing
• Soft and uniform surface suitable for hygiene and consumer applications
Key Performance Comparison
Application Highlights
Medical & Healthcare
• SMS: medical drapes, standard surgical gowns, disposable protection
• SMMS: high-performance isolation gowns, advanced mask filtration layers
• SS: mask outer/inner layers, nonwoven backsheet for hygiene products
Industrial Safety
• SMS: protective coveralls, cleanroom apparel
• SMMS: enhanced barrier clothing for stricter environments
• SS: lightweight packaging, industrial wipe substrates
Hygiene & Consumer Care
• SS is widely used for diapers, sanitary napkins, shopping bags, and agricultural covers due to its softness and strength.
Why D-TEX Materials Stand Out
D-TEX invests in continuous innovation across spunbond and meltblown production lines, ensuring all materials offer:
• Precise weight and thickness control
• Highly uniform fiber distribution
• Customizable properties (hydrophilic, anti-static, alcohol-resistant, UV-resistant)
• Global-standard cleanliness and consistency
With comprehensive capabilities in both medical and industrial composites, D-TEX helps customers meet evolving regulatory and performance demands.
Conclusion
SMS, SMMS, and SS nonwoven fabrics each serve distinct roles in the modern nonwoven landscape. From high-filtration medical protection to durable hygiene products, D-TEX provides a full suite of customizable material solutions tailored to global markets.
For brands seeking stable supply, consistent quality, and advanced technical support, D-TEX remains a trusted and technology-driven partner.
