According to ASTM (American Standards for Testing Materials), nonwoven fabrics are broadly defined as sheet or web structures bonded together by entangling fiber or filaments mechanically, thermally or chemically (1). The manufacturing principles of nonwovens are manifested in a unique way based on the technologies of creation of textiles, papers, and plastics. As a result, the structure and properties of nonwovens resemble, to a great extent, to those of three materials. The most common products made with nonwovens include: disposable nappies, sanitary napkins and tampons, masks and personal wipes, carpeting and wall coverings, agricultural coverings and automotive filters, insulation, roofing products, civil engineering fabrics. In this study, disposable hygiene products such as diapers and feminine care products were studied. In 2017, the value of the diaper in the global market was reported as 48.121.00 million dollars (2). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of performance additives (process aid and botanic extract) on the polypropylene (PP) based nonwoven (NW) for hygiene applications. Polypropylene (PP) based nonwovens were produced in a Reicofil5 model commercial spunbond line at around 170°C. After PP based NW production, the study consists of two parts; 1) botanic extracts, which is applied with spin finish unit and 2) proses aid, which is added during the extrusion process. To evaluate the morphology of fiber and nonowoven, optical microscope were conducted. Tensile and friction tests were performed to characterize the mechanical and static behavior of the nonwoven. The amount of additive was determined by soxhlet extraction method. Surface wettability was determined by measuring the contact angle of the material. Additionally, botanic extracts were characterized with refractive index, pH, viscosity and UV-Vis. As a result, botanic extracts with healing effect successfully optimized on nonwoven, furthermore static charge and hand feeling of nonwoven was enhanced with process aid.
