Daiwabo produces nonwoven fabrics in Japan and Indonesia. The company has produced spunlaced nonwoven fabrics, thermal bonded nonwoven fabrics and others materials with a capacity of 16,000 tons in Japan. Its Indonesian subsidiary, DNI, makes 6000 tons of thermal bonded nonwovens per years. Additionally, the company makes bicomponent fibers, the raw material fibers of thermal bonded nonwovens with a capacity of 36,000 tons per year and it is the only company that makes rayon fibers in Japan. These rayon fibers are used to make nonwovens for wipes and Daiwabo Rayon supplies them to many nonwovens producers.
Nonwovens made by Daiwabo are widely used for disposable products such as face masks, sweat wipe sheets, wet wipes and cleansing sheets. The use of biodegradable nonwoven fabrics or biomass fibers for these products is better for the environment. The company offers a spunlaced nonwoven made from rayon that can biodegrade in marine environments with the trade name Apitas E, a spunlaced nonwoven made of cotton (Apitas C), a biodegradable biocomponent fiber (miracle fiber KK-PL) and a spunlaced nonwoven fabric available for the acquisition of the FSC certificate (Apitas B).
