Miratec fabric
PGI's Miratec fabric is the most innovative development of spunlace nonwovens both in concept and in performance. Time will tell people whether Miratec fabrics can create a broad market in the durable textiles they target, and price may be the main factor worth considering. The limited samples displayed by PGI are different from any nonwoven industrial products. In fact, the term non-woven fabric is not used to describe this product, which has innovations in web forming and finishing methods. Prior to PGI's Chicobi, J&J researched and applied for a patent in 1996, that is, "processing the support of the fabric forming device with a divergent laser drilling process." There is reason to believe that it is this technology that makes the shape of Miratec products almost replicate the pattern structure of most three-dimensional textiles.
This patent tells people that by moving the laser beam at a certain fixed point of the forming drum according to the preset scanning image, the laser beam can engrave patterns on the forming drum, including multiple peaks, valleys, and perforations. After spunlace, the pattern on the forming drum will be transferred to the spunlace nonwoven fabric, so that the spunlace nonwoven fabric presents a textile style. Miratec products not only have this advantage, but also have high vertical and horizontal strength, and the products can also have real flexibility. Obviously, finishing plays a key role. PGI Company calls this new technology Apex technology. Mirarec fabric faces the durable textile market, and the disposable nonwoven fabric produced by Apex technology is called Miraalace (hot rolling process), which can also present various patterns. PGI started to produce Miratec spunlace nonwovens at the end of 1998. In 2000, the company also put into production a two-sided three-knife Miratec production line. PGI has established a partnership with its user Johnson Controls Co., Ltd. to expand the use of Miratec spunlace nonwovens from furniture and home decoration products to automotive interior panels.
Nike non-woven sweatshirt
Nike (Nike) of the United States has now launched 75% recycled polyester fiber as raw material, and uses PGI’s Apec spunlace technology to make sleeveless low-neck sweatshirts. This is a major advancement in non-woven clothing. It adopts ultrasonic welding and suture, and has the function of adjusting temperature.
