Composite materials - infinite possibilities
Composite materials play an important role in the production of nonwovens. Using technologies such as ultrasonic welding, spunmelt, hotmelt, or thermal lamination as well as embossing or pressing with rollers, nonwoven materials can be joined together in a variety of ways. It is not only possible to join nonwoven to nonwoven. Other materials can also be processed into a composite. Nonwoven composites allow us to control the properties of nonwovens and produce custom-fit solutions. With their versatility and infinite possibilities, composite materials are attractive for a wide range of industries and applications.

Why composite materials are used in the production of nonwovens
Targeted material combinations: By using composite materials, different fibers and layers can be combined to optimally control the specific properties of the nonwoven.
- Improved functionality: Composite nonwovens offer additional performance properties such as higher tenacity, better filtration or optimized absorption.
- Lightweight & flexibility: Composite structures enable lightweight yet stiff self-supporting nonwovens that are easy to process and design.
- Adaptable to the use(s): The layer structure, density and material combination can be specifically adjusted depending on the area of use.
- Sustainable efficiency: Intelligent composite combinations can save material while maintaining capacity.
