Hydroentanglement
The water-jet process, also known as hydro entanglement, spunlace or hydro-jet, is a mechanical binding process in which the fibres or filaments are entangled by means of high-pressure water jets instead of, for example, steel needles (as in the case of needle-punched nonwovens). One advantage of these spunlaced nonwovens provides a soft textile handle.
Common spunlaced products are:
- Wipes, towels, tissues
- artificial leather
- sanitary products
