Introduction：The article mainly explores what non-woven fabric is and its properties, as well as the production process of non-woven carpets, why flame retardants are added to non-woven fabrics, what benefits can be brought by adding flame retardants, and solves various questions about non-woven fabrics.

What is non-woven fabric？
Non woven fabric is a type of textile formed by fibers arranged non woven or randomly. Unlike traditional woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics are formed by directly bonding fibers together through chemical, mechanical, or hot pressing methods. Non woven fabrics have the following characteristics:
1. Non woven fabric structure: The fiber structure of non-woven fabric is usually randomly arranged, rather than interlacing like woven fabric. This structure makes non-woven fabric softer, more breathable, and easier to process.
2. Multiple materials: Non woven fabrics can be made from various types of fibers, including polypropylene, polyester, nylon, cotton, etc. Different fiber materials can affect the characteristics and applications of non-woven fabrics.
3. Widely used: Due to its soft, lightweight, wear-resistant, breathable and other characteristics, non-woven fabrics have been widely used in many fields, such as household goods, medical supplies, clothing, packaging materials, agricultural coverings, etc.
4. Production process: The production process of non-woven fabrics includes melt spinning, wet forming, dry forming, etc. Each process has its unique characteristics and applicability.
5. Environmental friendliness: Compared to traditional woven fabrics, the production process of non-woven fabrics is usually more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly because it does not require traditional textile and weaving processes, reducing energy and water consumption.

The properties of non-woven fabrics
Non woven fabrics have various properties, some of which include:
1. Breathability: Non woven fabrics usually have good breathability, allowing air and water to penetrate. This makes non-woven fabrics have good ventilation and breathability in many applications.
2. Softness: Due to the loose fiber structure of non-woven fabrics, they usually have good softness, comfortable touch, and are suitable for making soft household items and clothing.
3. Wear resistance: Non woven fabrics usually have good wear resistance, can withstand long-term use and friction, and are not easy to wear. This gives non-woven fabrics an advantage in making durable home decorations and industrial products.
4. Water resistance: Some non-woven fabrics have good water resistance after special treatment, and can be used to make waterproof products, such as raincoats, rain gear, etc.
5. Workability: Non woven fabrics are easy to process and shape, and can be made into products of various shapes and uses through various processes such as hot pressing, melting, and coating.
6. Environmental friendliness: Compared with traditional woven fabrics, the production process of non-woven fabrics is usually more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, reducing energy and water consumption, and has higher environmental friendliness.

Flame retardant non-woven fabric carpet
1. Improve safety: Carpets may be exposed to sources of fire during daily use, such as fireworks, fireworks, gas stoves, etc. Adding flame retardants can significantly reduce the risk of carpet combustion, reduce the likelihood of fire, and thus improve indoor safety.
2. Compliance with regulatory requirements: In some places, such as commercial buildings, public places, etc., laws and regulations usually require carpets to have certain flame retardant properties to ensure that they can effectively slow down the spread of the fire in the event of a fire, providing more time for people to escape and extinguish the fire.
3. Extending service life: Flame retardants can not only reduce the risk of carpet combustion, but also reduce the degree of fire damage to carpets. Even in the event of a fire, carpets with added flame retardants can maintain their structural integrity for a longer period of time and extend their service life.
4. Environmental considerations: Some flame retardants can use environmentally friendly formulas with minimal impact on the environment, in line with the concept of sustainable development. This is particularly important for consumers and construction projects who have environmental requirements.

Our Qibo Technology company specializes in providing flame retardant masterbatch for adding to non-woven carpets, named QIBO-W02M. Our masterbatch has a low addition amount and does not affect the addition of other fillers, resulting in good flame retardant effect. We also have other non-woven functional masterbatches, such as hydrophilic masterbatch, soft masterbatch, anti-static masterbatch, etc.
