Special Nonwovens that Protect
Our nonwovens offer the right solution for the most demanding requirements. They come in a wide variety of compositions: sometimes particularly soft to provide the necessary comfort, sometimes particularly stretch-resistant to withstand greater loads, they can be reinforced with scrim to prevent damage, or designed to be flame resistant to meet certain protective standards.
Thanks to our three-dimensional fiber design and Norafin's spunlacing, our materials show a distinctive dimensional stability in all directions. For special areas and applications, we also offer traditional needlepunch capabilities.
Advanced Performance Features of our Nonwovens
- improved insulation and high resistance to heat
- industry leading heat protection for single and multi-layer product solutions
