Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our PP spunbond nonwoven fabric, specifications, ordering, and capabilities. Can't find what you need? Contact our team.
Product & Material
Nonwoven fabric is a textile made directly from fibres bonded together by heat, pressure, or chemicals — without weaving or knitting. It is used across medical, hygiene, agricultural, packaging, furniture, mattress, and construction applications.
We manufacture PP spunbond nonwoven fabric from 100% virgin polypropylene. Spunbond is a thermal-bonded process — no chemical binders, no adhesives. We do not produce other nonwoven types (meltblown, spunlace, needlepunched) ourselves but we do have partners who we can refer you to or source together with our fabric if required.
Some manufacturers of spunbond PP nonwoven fabric often blend in calcium carbonate, other mineral fillers, or recycled PP to reduce material cost. Filler creates stress points in the fibre that lead to embrittlement and powdering over time. Recycled PP has depleted antioxidant stabilisers and unknown thermal history, which means less predictable performance and faster degradation. Virgin polypropylene avoids both — consistent fibre quality, predictable behaviour in converting equipment, and integrity that lasts the life of the end product.
Spunbond and meltblown are both thermal bonded nonwoven processes, but they produce very different fabrics. Spunbond fibres are continuous filaments that are extruded, drawn, and thermally bonded into a strong, dimensionally stable fabric — ideal for structural, agricultural, packaging, furniture, mattress, and industrial applications. Meltblown uses much finer, shorter fibres that form a softer, more porous web with high filtration efficiency, typically used as a barrier or filtration layer (for example, the middle layer of a surgical mask). Greatech manufactures PP spunbond nonwoven fabric only; meltblown can be sourced through our partner network if required as part of a combined supply.
Yes. PP spunbond is 100% polypropylene and is identified under recycling code 5. End-of-life recyclability depends on the waste-management infrastructure in your market and on whether the fabric has been combined with other materials. We do not currently operate a take-back programme — please contact our team if you have specific end-of-life or sustainability requirements you would like to discuss.
Specification & Customisation
Our standard range is 9gsm to 250gsm. Typical weights by application: medical and hygiene 9 to 80gsm; agriculture 9 to 120gsm; furniture and home textiles 50 to 150gsm; packaging and bags 30 to 150gsm; mattress components 30 to 360gsm; construction 100 to 250gsm. Our proprietary ultrasonic insulator runs 180 to 360gsm.
We run production lines at 1.6m, 2.2m, 2.4m, and 3.2m. Custom slit widths are available on request with a standard tolerance of ±1cm.
UV stabilisation, flame retardant, hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and anti-static finishes are available depending on the grade. Standard treatments by application are listed on each product page. Confirm specific treatment availability and minimums with our sales team.
Yes. White is our standard colour; additional colours are available on request. Width and roll length are customisable to specification. Diamond emboss is standard.
Yes. We regularly work with converters and manufacturers on non-standard GSM, treatment, width, and colour combinations. Send through your application, target specification, and any constraints, and our team will confirm what we can produce and at what minimum quantity.
Yes. Beyond standard production, we work with customers on tailored product development across new GSM ranges, treatments, fibre constructions, widths, and finished component specifications. Our internal manufacturing control across spunbond production and mattress component systems allows us to develop and validate new specifications in house. Share your application, target performance, and any constraints, and our technical team will work through what we can produce and at what scale.
Industries & Applications
Medical and hygiene, agriculture, packaging and bags, furniture and home textiles, mattress components, and construction. Each application is covered on its own product page with recommended GSM ranges.
16 years of PP spunbond manufacturing, 100% virgin polypropylene with no calcium carbonate or filler blends, production widths from 1.6m to 3.2m, in house manufacture of all four nonwoven specifications used in our mattress components (including the proprietary ultrasonic compacted insulator), and over 300 distributor shops in China carrying mattresses we manufactured. Manufacturing facilities in China and local offices in Australia and New Zealand mean responsive support across time zones.
Quality & Certification
We start with 100% virgin polypropylene — no calcium carbonate, no filler blends — sourced from Sinopec, PetroChina, and Dongguan Juzhengyuan Technology. From there, in-line production monitoring and finished-roll inspection deliver consistent fibre quality and dimensional stability batch to batch. Test reports are available per batch on request.
Product documentation and certifications are available on request. Specific certifications relevant to your application can be confirmed at the inquiry stage.
Ordering & Logistics
Use the inquiry form on the relevant product page. Please provide fabric type, GSM, width, colour, quantity, treatments required, and intended application. Our sales team responds within one working day.
Yes. Samples are available free of charge for quality evaluation. Shipping is freight-collect or paid by the customer. Samples are typically ready within one to three working days.
MOQ varies by specification and treatment. Please contact our team with your application, GSM, width, and estimated quantity, and we will confirm the minimum order for your requirement.
Standard lead time is approximately 7 to 15 days from order confirmation, depending on quantity, specification, and current production schedule.
Standard packaging is rolls on a paper core, wrapped in PE film. Core internal diameters are 5cm to 10cm with 3cm or 4cm wall thickness. Custom packaging is available on request.
Yes. We private-label nonwoven fabric and finished mattress components for customers under their own brand, and we welcome new OEM supply enquiries across furniture, mattress, and industrial markets. Get in touch with your specification and packaging requirements and we will confirm what we can supply.
Yes. We routinely supply international customers with full export documentation including commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, mill test reports, and material safety data sheets. OEM packaging is available across roll labelling, carton branding, and finished mattress component packaging to support customers shipping under their own brand. Specific documentation and packaging requirements can be confirmed at the order stage.
Global Supply
Greatech supplies internationally, with established distribution in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Europe, and other regions. We have local offices in Sydney and Auckland alongside our manufacturing facilities in Dongguan and Yueyang County, China.
Yes. We welcome customer visits to our facilities in Dongguan and Yueyang County, China. A virtual factory tour via video call can also be arranged where in-person visits are not practical.
