Spunlace Fabric for Baby Wipes
100% viscose spunlace — soft, lint-free, and skin-safe for infant care products
Baby wipes demand the highest standards of softness, absorbency, and safety among all spunlace applications. The fabric contacts infant skin hundreds of times per day, so fiber choice and fabric construction directly affect end-product quality. Most baby wipe brands use 50-70 gsm spunlace because this range balances coverage, wet strength, and cost. The two dominant material options are 100% viscose (rayon) for maximum softness and biodegradability, or viscose-polyester blends for lower cost and higher wet strength. Pattern selection matters too: plain and small pearl embossing are the most common choices because they create a smooth surface that won't irritate delicate skin. SunLuner produces baby wipe fabric on L1 and L2 — our semi-cross laced ANDRITZ lines — which deliver the cross-directional strength and uniformity that high-speed converting machines require.

Which Series Is Right for This Application?
Honest comparison — including which series we do NOT recommend and why.
100% viscose with no plastic content. FSC-certified fibers. Delivers the softness and absorbency that baby wipes require. Fully biodegradable — an increasing requirement from major retailers.
Viscose + polyester blend. Lower cost per kilogram, but polyester content means the fabric is not biodegradable and may feel slightly less soft. Suitable for budget baby wipe lines where biodegradability is not a selling point.
Dyed viscose introduces colorants. Not suitable for baby wipes, which require white or natural-colored fabric for skin contact products.

Selection Checklist
Questions to help you decide — with our honest guidance based on production capabilities.
1What GSM should I choose for baby wipes?
50-55 gsm is the industry standard for standard-size baby wipes (15x20cm). Use 60-70 gsm for premium thick wipes or economy-size rolls. Lower than 50 gsm risks tear-through during converting.
2Plain or embossed pattern?
Plain is the safest choice — smoothest surface, lowest risk of skin irritation. Small Pearl adds texture for better cleaning action. EF Pattern provides a balance of softness and strength. Avoid mesh patterns for baby wipes.
3Do I need 100% viscose or a blend?
Choose 100% viscose (Eco-Pure) if your brand markets natural, biodegradable, or plastic-free positioning. Choose a viscose-polyester blend (Pro-Clean) only if cost is the primary driver and biodegradability is not claimed.
4What width do I need?
Tell us your converting machine's rewind width. We slit to any width up to 320 cm. Common baby wipe jumbo roll widths are 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, and 360mm (for multi-lane converting).
5Can you provide test reports?
Yes. We provide GSM, tensile strength (MD/CD), absorbency, and lint test reports for every production batch. Fiber SDS and FSC chain-of-custody documents available on request.
