Spunbond is a general term for a type of non-woven fabric made from fibers through non-woven technology, with a wide variety of categories and a wide range of application scenarios; stitchbond is one of the specific categories of non-woven fabrics, belonging to the category of needle rolled non-woven fabrics, with its own unique process characteristics and applicable fields. The two are the core differences between the general term and specific categories, and the specific differences are also reflected in the following aspects:

Process Characteristics

Spunbond There is no unified fixed process, and it can be made through various processes such as spunbond, meltblown, water jet, needle rolling, etc. The performance of products created by different processes varies greatly, and the overall process adaptability is wide.

Stitchbond: With needle rolling technology as the core, fibers are entangled and formed through mechanical needle punching. The process is relatively fixed, and the structural compactness and fiber bonding of the formed fabric surface have exclusive characteristics.

Material and texture

Spunbond Various fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, and viscose can be used as raw materials, and the texture can be divided into soft, stiff, lightweight, thick, and other types due to different processes, without a unified texture characteristic.

Stitchbond cloth: It is mainly made of polyester as the main raw material, and after needle rolling process, the surface of the cloth is flat, with a certain degree of stiffness and toughness. The hand feel is thick, and it is not easy to fuzzing or shedding, and the overall texture is more stable.

Performance focus

Spunbond: Different categories have their own performance preferences, some focus on breathability and skin friendliness, some focus on waterproofing and oil resistance, and some focus on tensile and wear-resistant properties. The performance adaptability can be adjusted according to the process.

Stitchbond: Its core performance focuses on wear resistance, tear resistance, and resistance to deformation. It also has good breathability and certain load-bearing capacity, and outstanding ability to withstand repeated friction and daily wear and tear.

Application scenarios

Spunbond: applied in various fields such as daily life, industry, medical care, agriculture, etc., such as disposable masks, shopping bags, wet wipes, agricultural films, home textile lining fabrics, etc., with a wide range of scenarios.

Stitchbond: Due to its wear-resistant and tear resistant properties, it is more targeted in application and is often used as luggage lining fabric, shoe material accessories, sofa bottom fabric, tent lining fabric, industrial protective fabric, and other scenarios that require durability of materials.

Simply put, stitchbond is a sub category of spunbond, which is a specialized non-woven fabric made through needle rolling technology to meet specific durability needs. Non woven fabric is the general term for all spunbond including stitchbond.
