Nonwovens

Technical nonwovens are textiles with countless possible applications. They are manufactured industrially using various processes and are used in many markets such as the automotive and clothing industries, in the construction and medical sectors or as geotextiles, hygiene textiles and home textiles.

Due to their versatile properties (mouldability, air permeability, low weight, processability) and almost unlimited application possibilities, nonwovens have become indispensable today.
Depending on the area of application, different material properties are required which are realised by using different materials and manufacturing processes.

Efficient production processes for nonwovens enable a relatively good price-performance ratio compared to other textile production processes (weaving, knitting, warp knitting).

Nonwovens are often ‘built into’ complex product constructions so that they are not immediately visible to the consumer and user.
