Now, polyester account for 65% of world chemical fiber output, however, polyester only accounts less among non-woven cloth. At past, high price and technique obstacle make polyester and polypropylene in the dry tree, but it is changed now, polymer price of polyester is lower than polypropylene and can be supplied the valid technique and equipment in the market.

In 2005 polyester conference held in Amsterdam, Holand in December, the manufacture manager Glawion remark that polyester only account for 22% in non-woven cloth material, but among filature products, polyester only account for 15%, filature technique account for 40% only.

Now, key engineering--Perfobond spinning equipment offered Rieter company, Jetlace water puncturing equipment, equipment integrating Spunjet spining and water stinging together and Emblo fuse equipment can produce non-woven cloth, its material can be used to produce polyester slice or terylene short textile.

In non-woven cloth market with production 1.85million ton, polypropylene is the leading polymer with wastage 1.45million ton/per year(79%) that is applied to sanitation field. 292000 ton Polyester spinning cloth is mainly processed to roof waterproof material, carpet cloth and soil cloth etc.
