Filter cloth is a type of non-woven fabric, though not all non-woven fabrics qualify as filter cloth. The defining characteristic of non-woven fabric is that it is produced without a traditional weaving process; instead, it is created by combining and processing fibers or staple fiber materials in specific ways. Its advantages include softness, breathability, and ease of handling and shaping into various forms and sizes. Thanks to these qualities, non-woven fabrics are widely used in sectors such as healthcare, hygiene, agriculture, construction, and the automotive industry.
Filter cloth is a specialized type of non-woven fabric created through further processing. Unlike standard non-woven fabrics, filter cloth utilizes specific fiber combinations and processing techniques to effectively filter and separate impurities, particles, and contaminants from fluids or gases. Consequently, filter cloth is commonly employed in applications such as industrial filtration, air filtration, and liquid filtration.
