Spunlace Non-Wovens

Flexible, absorbent materials for industrial cleaning and wiping

Material Characteristics (Application-Dependent)

Our core materials are spunlace and needle-punched non-woven fabrics.

Depending on the intended application, these materials may be supplied with specific functional characteristics to support performance requirements.

These characteristics are not standalone products and are evaluated during application review and requirement alignment.

Absorbency Behavior

Absorbent behavior in industrial non-wovens is primarily influenced by fiber selection. Cellulose-based fibers such as viscose are typically used where liquid absorption is required, while synthetic fibers such as PP and PET are selected where resistance, durability, or controlled fluid interaction is preferred.

Surface & Layer Configuration

In certain applications, laminated constructions may be evaluated where barrier performance or layered functionality is required. Such configurations are considered case-by-case, subject to feasibility.

Hand-Feel & Flexibility

Softness and flexibility are influenced by fiber selection and process parameters. These attributes are discussed where handling comfort or surface interaction is relevant to the application.

Environmental Resistance

For applications involving outdoor exposure or prolonged light exposure, UV-treated materials may be evaluated based on application requirements.

Functional characteristics are discussed during application review and are subject to technical feasibility and manufacturing alignment.

Material selection is guided by application fit and consistency, not by catalog breadth.

How Materials Are Selected

Material selection begins with how and where the material will be used, not with a predefined product list.

Key considerations include

Application environment and intensity
Surface interaction and sensitivity
Performance consistency over repeat supply
Operational and handling requirements

This approach supports predictable material behavior and reliable supply outcomes.
