automotive.
Interior:
Technical nonwoven fabrics are commonly used in the interior trim of vehicles. They are used in parts such as door panels, seats, dashboards, and headliners to provide padding, sound insulation, insulation, and comfort.
Engine Compartment Insulation:
Nonwoven fabrics are used in the engine compartment to provide heat insulation and dampen noise. They help protect the interior from heat and engine noise, contributing to improved driving comfort.
Air and Liquid Filtration:
Technical nonwoven fabrics are used in filters for air, fuel, and oil to filter out particles and contaminants from the engine compartment and drivetrain. They play a crucial role in maintaining the performance and longevity of the engine.
Acoustic Applications:
Nonwoven fabrics are also used for acoustic applications in vehicles to reduce noise and create a quieter driving environment. They are used, for example, in sound insulation and noise control panels.
Battery and Electronics Insulation:
In electric and hybrid vehicles, technical nonwoven fabrics are used to insulate batteries and electronic components. They help protect these parts from external influences and ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle.
The use of technical nonwoven fabrics in the automotive industry helps improve the comfort, performance, safety, and longevity of vehicles while also meeting efficiency and environmental standards.
filtration.
Air filtration:
Technical textiles are used in air filtration systems for various applications, including in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, in automobiles, in industrial processes, and in cleanrooms. They help filter particles, dust, pollen, pollutants, and other contaminants from the air.
Liquid filtration:
In liquid filtration, technical textiles are used in filter media for cleaning water, oil, chemicals, and other liquids. These filtration applications are found in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, the chemical industry, wastewater treatment, and the oil and gas industry.
Medical and pharmaceutical filtration:
Technical textiles are also used in the medical and pharmaceutical industry to filter liquids such as blood, medications, and solutions. They are used, for example, in dialysis filters, intravenous filters, medical masks, and surgical covers.
Automotive industry: In the automotive industry, technical textiles are used for filtering motor air, fuel, oil, and coolant to improve engine performance and extend component life.
Industrial processes:
Technical textiles are used in a variety of industrial processes to remove contaminants, improve product quality, and comply with environmental standards. This includes filtration applications in the chemical, food, mining, and paper industries, among others.
In these various application areas, technical textiles are often used in the form of filter media, filter fleeces, filter bags, filter mats, filter cartridges, and other filter elements, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
geotextile.
Separation layers:
In road construction and landscaping projects, technical nonwoven fabrics are used as separation layers between different soil layers. They prevent different materials from mixing with each other and thus contribute to the long-term stability of the construction.
Filtration:
Geotextiles are used to allow water to pass through the soil while preventing the escape of soil particles. In drainage and erosion control applications, technical nonwoven fabrics act as filter layers that allow the penetration of fine particles into drainage systems without clogging them.
Erosion protection:
Technical nonwoven fabrics can be used to protect the surface of the soil from erosion by wind and water. They are used, for example, on slopes and embankments to stabilize the soil structure and prevent the erosion of soil material.
Drainage:
In drainage systems, technical nonwoven fabrics are used as filter and separation layers to enable efficient drainage of excess water. They keep the soil free from blockages and contribute to the long-term functionality of the drainage system.
Subgrade stabilization:
In applications such as road and railway construction, technical nonwoven fabrics are used to stabilize the subgrade and improve the load-bearing capacity of the construction. They can help reduce settlements and deformations of the soil.

construction.
Roof and Wall Waterproofing:
Nonwovens are utilized in roof and wall waterproofing systems to reinforce for the bituminous industries. They serve as underlayments for roofing and siding materials, helping to keep moisture out.
Insulation:
Nonwovens are also used backing for building insulation materials. They can be applied as insulation for walls and roofs to enhance thermal and sound insulation.
Breathable Membranes:
In modern construction, breathable membranes are coated or laminated to nonwovens, so the final product are used to protect buildings from moisture buildup while allowing effective air circulation.
Construction Covers and Protective Films:
Nonwovens are employed as temporary covers with protective films on construction sites to shield them from weather conditions and enhance safety.
medical.
Surgical Clothing and Textiles: Nonwovens are used in the production of surgical clothing such as gowns, caps, masks, and shoe covers. They provide protection against cross-contamination and help minimize the risk of infection.
Sterile Packaging: Nonwovens are often used for the sterile packaging of medical devices, instruments, and consumables. They act as a barrier against germs and moisture to maintain the sterility of the products.
Wound Dressings and Plasters: Nonwovens are used in the manufacture of wound dressings and plasters. They are soft, absorbent, and hypoallergenic, making them ideal for direct contact with the skin.
Incontinence Products: Nonwovens are used in the production of incontinence products such as adult and children's diapers, as well as pads and bed protection. They offer high absorption capacity and keep moisture away from the skin.
Surgical Disposable Products: Disposable products such as operating table covers, surgical sets, and covers for medical equipment are often made from nonwovens to maintain a sterile environment during surgical procedures.
Filter Systems: In medicine, nonwovens are also used in filter systems for air and liquids to remove particles and impurities and ensure the purity of medications and medical devices.
furniture.
Padding and Filling Material:
Nonwovens are commonly used as padding material in upholstered furniture such as sofas, armchairs, and mattresses. They provide comfort and help maintain the shape of the furniture pieces.
Insulation Material:
In outdoor furniture, such as garden or patio furniture, nonwovens can be used as insulation material to repel moisture and cold.
Soundproofing: In acoustically sensitive environments such as cinemas or music studios, nonwovens can be used as soundproofing to reduce noise levels and ensure better sound quality.
Cladding Material:
Nonwovens are also used as cladding material for furniture pieces to protect surfaces and give them an aesthetic appearance. For example, they can serve as the back panel of cabinets or as cladding for chairs.
Moisture Barriers:
In furniture used in damp environments, such as bathroom furniture or garden furniture, nonwovens can be used as moisture barriers to prevent moisture penetration and increase the durability of the furniture.
