Nonwoven fabric — medical & hygiene grade

Converted material — material composition declared in spec table (100% polypropylene).

Converted polypropylene nonwovens for medical masks, surgical drapes, hygiene backsheets, and wipe substrates. Supplied slit-to-width or as master rolls — basis weight, barrier class, and roll geometry are defined per PO and confirmed on the lot CoA.

Converted textile material. This SKU is a nonwoven fabric roll good, not a chemical intermediate. There is no CAS registry number — identity is defined by polymer, construction, basis weight, and roll geometry on your purchase order.

Placeholder datasheet values in the specification table are aligned with typical spunbond-PP industry ranges for review. Replace with Gatewazer lot CoA limits before customer release.

Roll supply: Width, length, and core are confirmed per quotation. Slit widths and master-roll formats listed under packaging are starting points; custom slit-to-spec is available.
