Needlepunch

Efficient consolidation through needling

From fibre to resilient and durable nonwoven fabric

Needling creates the bond between the fibres through frictional and form-fit bonding. The fibre piles previously produced in the carding machine and doubled using a compensating stacker are compacted using needles. For this purpose, the needles with notches are inserted into the fibre pile several times, whereby the fibres are intertwined. This type of bonding can be used to produce fully synthetic, natural fibre, glass fibre and mixed fibre nonwovens.
TWE Group needlepunch nonwovens can then be thermally and/or chemically treated. They can also be powder-coated or laminated with films or foams.

Our needlefelt production

We produce a wide range of nonwovens that are ideally suited for further processing on our modern needlepunch lines. Whether additionally thermally bonded, laminated with films or finished with powder or wet chemistry: the possible applications for this classic nonwoven are many and varied.
Our nonwoven lines enable us to produce widths of up to 5.5 metres and grammages of 35 to 2,000 g/m².

Finishing and Further Processing of Our Needlepunch Nonwovens

The further processing and finishing of needlepunch 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 improved and its performance optimized. The material becomes more robust, durable, and resistant. Added functionalities such as water and dirt repellency, flame retardancy, or antimicrobial protection broaden the application range and make the needlepunch nonwoven highly versatile. The possibility of lamination enables additional features such as sound insulation or thermal insulation. This flexibility in processing and finishing allows for the development of customized solutions for a wide variety of demands and industries.
