Absorbent towels must pull blood, exudate, saline, or disinfectant while staying intact through gloved handling, folding, and repetitive wiping. The scrim arrests tear propagation so the towel does not lint, split, or fall apart when fully loaded — critical for OR and procedure trays.
With PVOH or hot-melt binders, the scrim is compatible with thermal laminating and folding lines used in medical towel converting — allowing the reinforced towel to be folded, stacked, and sealed into sterile packs or dispenser boxes without adhesive oozing or ply separation.
The open mesh adds multi-directional tensile with minimal mass, so the towel stays flexible and skin-friendly while gaining meaningful resistance to thumb-press tearing or edge-fray during use — useful for patient-care wipes and bib/drape towels.
Due to its versatile reinforcement properties and open mesh design, this polyester laid scrim is also extensively applied in other industrial sectors per the product page:
Non-woven laid scrim is widely applied in the aluminium foil industry; roll lengths up to 10,000 m help manufacturers improve production efficiency, and the finished product gets better appearance.
PVC flooring is mainly made of PVC plus other necessary chemical materials via calendering or extrusion, divided into sheet and roller types. All major domestic and foreign manufacturers now apply laid scrim as the reinforcement layer to avoid joint separation or bulging between floor pieces caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
