Multiknit

Soft Touch meets good recycling properties

From fibre to resilient and durable nonwoven fabric

When bonding with the Multiknit process, the bond between the fibres is created by frictional and positive locking. The fibre pile previously produced in the carding machine is bonded with the help of knitting needles. For this purpose, the fibre pile is accumulated and bonded several times with the help of knitting needles. This creates stitches from the fibres of the nonwoven itself, which consolidate the material. This type of bonding makes it possible to produce very soft nonwovens with good recycling properties that still have good strength.

Our Multiknit production

We use our multi-knitting lines to produce nonwovens that are used in the mobility sector in particular. For example, as cable harness sheathing or lamination for seat surfaces.
Our nonwovens lines enable us to produce widths of up to 3.4 metres and grammages of 60 to 600 g/m².

Finishing and Further Processing of Our Multiknit Nonwovens

The further processing and finishing of Multiknit nonwovens offers a wide range of possibilities to tailor the material to the specific requirements and needs of various applications. Through additional treatments and enhancements, the properties of the nonwoven can be adapted and its performance optimized. For example, the material can be made water- or dirt-repellent, flame-retardant, or antimicrobial. The processing and finishing of Multiknit nonwovens thus enables the development of customized solutions for a wide variety of requirements and industries.
