    Nonwovens - the allrounder in modern industry

    Nonwovens are innovative materials that play an important role in many industries thanks to their versatility and performance. As opposed to woven or knitted fabrics, nonwovens are web structures bonded together by entangling fibers by means of mechanical, thermal or chemical processes. Their unique structures provide them with characteristics such as light weight, breathability and durability.

    A High-tech production: how nonwovens are made

    The production of nonwovens is a multi-stage operation. First, the fibers - often Polyester, Polypropylene or natural fibers, are prepared according to specific compositions before they undergo the processes of carding and bonding. The expertise in production together with the flexibility deriving from Sandler Group's multitude of production technologies make nonwovens by Sandler the ideal solution for specific requirements.
