The technology of Sontara® Softesse® turns fibers into fabric by hydroentangling—shooting thousands of high-pressure (up to 2000psi), needle-like jets of water at a random batting of blended fibers. The jets entangle the fibers into a fabric, which is then dried and wound into a fabric roll. Fibers may be entangled to form a strong yet soft sheet structure with either a repeating pattern (called aperture) or no pattern.. Virtually any combination of fibers can be entangled, including polyester, rayon, acrylic, nylon, woodpulp and cotton—providing almost limitless control of performance characteristics. The technology of Sontara® Softesse® can produce spunlaced fabric ranging from absorbent to repellent—with stability or conformability in all directions. This technology creates products for both disposable and durable goods applications.
