When developing nonwovens for composite structures, our focus is on performance and sustainability. Whether for roller coatings, cable applications, body armor, or renewable energy sources, our high-quality nonwovens are increasingly used for a wide range of applications.

  • reinforcing structures for various composite manufacturing processes (e.g., infusion molding, vacuum forming, RTM processes, winding techniques with synthetic and natural resins, pultrusion)
  • surface finishing of composites
  • body parts for water and motor sports vehicles

We are your Contact for Natural Fiber Composites

Natural fibers for technical textiles address the growing importance for environmentally conscious manufacturers and consumers. Thereby, the biodegradability of the materials becomes more and more important.

Our spunlace technology enables us to produce tear-resistant, durable, and strong nonwovens made from 100% natural fibers. These textiles can be used in many different applications, as reinforcing materials, or as optical surface layer, for example in the areas of:

  • interior design
  • sports
  • marine

We have many sustainable and biodegradable fiber processing options

For the manufacturing of biocomposites different raw materials can be used:

Natural Fibers Sustainable Fibers
flax viscose
hemp lyocell
cotton polylactide (PLA)
sheep wool
