About SMMS Nonwoven
SMMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond) Nonwoven is a multi-layered fabric constructed through a combination of spunbond and meltblown processes. The outer layers are made from spunbond polypropylene, providing structural integrity and durability, while the inner layers consist of meltblown polypropylene, which enhances filtration properties and softness. This fabric is commonly used in medical, hygiene, and industrial applications due to its excellent barrier properties, lightweight nature, and breathability.
