Nonwovens are engineered fabrics made by bonding fibers through mechanical, thermal, or chemical processes instead of weaving or knitting. They are designed for performance, high efficiency, and specific functional properties.

Major applications:

  • Hygiene products – diapers, wipes, feminine products

  • Medical and healthcare – gowns, masks, sterile packaging

  • Filtration media – air filters, liquid filters

  • Construction – roofing membranes, geotextiles

  • Automotive – insulation, soundproofing, cabin filters

Important chemical and material inputs:

  • Binders and latex emulsions

  • Meltblown and spunbond polymers (PP, PET)

  • Antimicrobial agents

  • Softening agents, hydrophilic or hydrophobic finishes
