Spunbonded nonwoven fabrics are a type of nonwoven fabric that is manufactured using the process of filament spinning. This technology is used for production of a wide range of polymer-laid fabrics, including those with property combinations that fall between paper and woven fabrics .The spunbonding manufacturing process involves the extrusion of filaments into a melt. This is done in a heated system and can be achieved by a variety of equipment.

It also involves a process of drying and adding stabilizers to the polymer pellets or granules prior to extrusion. The stabilizing process helps the polymer maintain its properties throughout the entire fabrication process.When the material is ready to be extruded, it enters a spinneret that uses a pump to melt the polymer. It then travels through a quench air duct that cools the extruded filaments. The quench air ducts also help to prevent overheating of the material during the manufacturing process.

After a few passes, the spun bonded web is drawn off of the spinneret and transferred onto a conveyor belt for deposition. The fabric is then bonded in the bonding zone by one of several methods. These include thermal point bonding, mechanical bonding, or chemical bonding.

Spunbond nonwoven products can be manufactured from a variety of materials, and are particularly useful in medical applications. They are often used in surgical masks, sanitary napkins, and healthcare coveralls. They are durable, breathable, and absorbent. They are also lightweight and can be recycled.
