    How Sandler shapes the Future of Nonwoven Technologies

    As a leading manufacturer of nonwovens, Sandler is committed to refining nonwoven technologies to deliver innovative solutions for a wide range of industries and applications. Our R&D is the foundation of such refinement and enables nonwoven innovations that are both functional and sustainable.

    Nonwoven Research: the Basis of Technological Advancement

    Our nonwoven research focuses on the optimization of materials, processes, and applications, such as:

    • Advancing existing manufacturing technologies, e.g. Spunlace, Thermal Point Bond, Air-Through, Needlepunch, or Meltblown.
    • The use of alternative raw materials such as Viscose or Lyocell
    • Improving resilience and service life by refining material properties
    • Reducing the use of energy and resources

    Comprehensive testing and continuous process analysis result in nonwoven fabrics that combine efficiency, functionality, and sustainability. More than that, we test new fibers and raw materials to constantly expand the use of nonwovens.
