From 35gsm to 120gsm: Choosing the Right Spunlace Nonwoven for Different Wet Wipes Applications

Basic weight is a key parameter when selecting spunlace nonwoven fabrics for wet wipes. Different applications require different fabric weights to achieve the desired balance between cost, strength, and user experience.

Understanding GSM Selection

Lightweight fabrics around 35–50gsm are typically used for facial and baby wipes, offering softness and comfort. Medium to heavyweight fabrics, ranging from 60–120gsm, are more suitable for household and industrial wipes that require higher durability.

Matching GSM with Application Needs

• 35–50gsm: Facial wipes, baby wipes

• 60–80gsm: Personal hygiene wipes

• 90–120gsm: Household and industrial wipes

Supporting Product Differentiation

Selecting the right GSM helps manufacturers control material costs while delivering consistent performance. Polyester–viscose spunlace nonwoven fabrics provide the flexibility needed to serve diverse wet wipes markets.
