[0002] Non-woven fabric is a kind of non-woven cloth, which has the characteristics of good anti-tensile deformation, breaking strength and elongation rate, and is widely used in medical protection, personal hygiene care, industrial fabrics, agriculture and other fields. Traditional non-woven fabrics are made by stretching, laminating and bonding fibers in a certain direction, and its disadvantages are poor strength, durability, water resistance and low softness.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the most commonly used method at present is to use polypropylene spunbond non-woven fabric instead of traditional non-woven fabric.
