SMS Nonwoven Fabric: Superior Spunmelt Nonwoven Fabric For Multiple Applications

SMS Nonwoven Fabric is a high-performance, multi-layered fabric created through the spunmelt process, combining spunbond and meltblown technologies. SMS stands for Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond, which means the fabric consists of a spunbond layer, a meltblown layer in the middle, and another spunbond layer. This unique structure provides the fabric with enhanced strength, filtration capabilities, and fluid resistance. Variants like SMMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond), SMMMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond), and SSMMS (Spunbond-Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond) offer even higher performance, making SMS fabrics ideal for a variety of applications, particularly in medical, hygiene, and industrial sectors.
