- Cost-effective for large-scale production
- Excellent dimensional stability
Applications:
Hygiene backsheets, surgical gowns, geotextiles, automotive interiors, wipes, packaging and protective covers.
Polypropylene Spunbond
- Pointbonded or Flatbonded & Bi-Component
- S, SS, SSS, SMS variations
- Resistant to chemicals and typically hydrophobic
- Various treatments and additives are available such as:
- Hydrophilic
- UV resistance
- Optical brighteners
- Various widths and weights available
Polyester Spunbond (SBPET)
- Pointbonded or Flatbonded & Bi-Component or Tri-lobal
- Often used for lamination due to higher heat resistance than SBPP
- Various treatments and additives are available such as: UV resistance, Optical brighteners
- Various widths and weights available
Also available Polyethylene and Bi -Component PP/PE
Spunlace
Spunlace (Hydroentangled) Nonwovens
Overview:
Fibres are mechanically bonded using high-pressure water jets, creating a soft, textile-like material without adhesives or binders.
Key Features:
- Excellent softness and absorbency
- Strong yet drapable
- Ideal for direct skin contact
Applications:
Baby and facial wipes, hygiene topsheets, cleaning wipes, and disposable medical products.
Available
- 100% Polyester, Viscose, Blends Polyester/Viscose, Polypropylene, Tencel, Cotton
- Cross-lapped, Apertured, Colours.
Carded Chemical Bond Nonwovens
Overview
Staple fibres are carded (aligned into a web) and bonded with a light chemical binder or thermally bonded through a calender to provide structure and stability.
Key Features:
- Cost-efficient and versatile
- Controlled fabric strength and texture
- Suitable for both disposable and durable uses
Applications
Industrial and household wipes, hygiene components, interlinings, filtration substrates, and woundcare products.
Available
- 100% Polyester, Viscose, Blends Polyester/Viscose, Polypropylene, others.
- Colours
Meltblown
Melt-Blown Nonwovens
Overview
Ultra-fine fibres are produced by extruding molten polymer through fine nozzles and attenuating them with high-velocity hot air.
Key Features:
- Micro- to sub-micron fibre diameter
- High surface area for filtration and barrier performance
- Often combined with spunbond layers (e.g. SMS composites)
Applications
Air and liquid filtration media, mask layers, hygiene barriers, and sorbents.
Available
- Polypropylene, Polyester, Polyethylene, Polyamide, Poly Phenylene Sulfide, Poly Methyl Penetene, Polyurethane.
- Electrostatic Charged, Corona Treated, Flat Calendered, UV Treatment.
Films & Laminates
Overview
Thin polymer films (PE, PP and others) are used alone or laminated with nonwovens to combine barrier, strength, and aesthetic qualities.
Key Features:
- Excellent barrier to liquids and gases
- Breathable or non-breathable options
- Printable and customisable finishes
Applications
Surgical drapes, gowns, hygiene backsheets, medical packaging, protective clothing, industrial liners and lamination composites.
Available
- Blown & Cast films
- Mono and Multi-layer
- Breathable & Non-Breathable
- Laminations of film laminated to nonwovens (various available PP through to Viscose), Nonwoven/Nonwoven.
- Ultrasonically, Hot-Melt, PUR Lamination.
- Colours, UV, Antistatic, Corona
Nets & Mesh
Overview
Extruded polymer nets that provide lightweight, open-structure support or reinforcement in various products.
Key Features
