According to different lapping machine, there are two types of spunlaced fabrics: parallel overlapping Spunlaced fabrics and cross overlapping Spunlaced fabrics. What is the difference between parallel overlapping Spunlaced fabric and cross overlapping Spunlaced fabric? The main difference lies in their fabric strength. Taking 40gsm 100 percent polyester Spunlaced fabric as an example, we can see their data table as follows:
The first table is cross lapping spunlace, which MD CD is both higher than parallel lapping spunlace fabric. For easy understand, we have a photo to show you.
The parallel lapped spunlace can easy tear straight with its vertical direction, and cross lapped spunlace is not so easy to tear, you can not tear it in a straight line. On this occasion, parallel lapped spunlace is mostly used for wet wipes, and cross lapped spunlace are more widely used as dry wiping cloths or leather etc.
