Fibers & Fiber Blends

We use high-quality, advanced technical fibers and fiber blends within our nonwovens. These include meta- and para-aramids, polyimide amides, UHMW-PE, or oxidized polyacrylonitrile.

Process Technology & Weight

Our two process technologies, spunlacing and needlepunching, enable us to offer our customers products with a wide spectrum of weights, from 30 g/m² to 800 g/m².

Especially in the field of protective clothing, we can produce lightweight, high-quality materials that provide a high level of comfort & protection.

Structures

Our Norafin 3D PERFORMANCE® material, with its embossed structure, provides improved insulation and increased comfort.

Other possible structures are flat, fine, coarse as well as extra-coarse apertured.

Multilayer Nonwoven Constructions

Multilayered material constructions allow different functions to be combined in one textile. In this process, two nonwovens with different properties are combined into a firmly bonded special textile using spunlace technology. The two functional layers can differ not only in terms of their structure or raw material, two-color variants are also possible.

Colors

We can produce our materials in different colors upon customer request.

Wash Resistance

Norafin KOMANDA® nonwovens can withstand many industrial washings, making them durable and sustainable.

The result is high-quality materials that meet Market and Industry demands for a lightweight, reusable, strong, and breathable technical textile, especially in the field of heat and flame protective clothing.

Norafin's line of protective nonwovens can come in roll widths from 0.1 m to 2.4 m max.

Our nonwovens can also be easily processed in the subsequent finishing process.
