In spunlace nonwovens, the bond between the fibres is created by frictional and form-fit bonding. The fibre piles previously produced in the card and doubled using a cross-layer are bonded using fine jets of water at high pressure. The water jets hit the fibre pile and intertwine the individual fibres with each other. The nonwoven is then thermally dried. This type of bonding produces nonwovens with a particularly uniform surface. The TWE Group's spunlace nonwovens can then be thermally and/or chemically treated. They can also be powder-coated or laminated with films or foams.
On our modern spunlace line, we produce a variety of nonwovens that are ideally suited for further processing. Our nonwovens line enables us to produce widths of up to 3.2 metres and grammages of 50 to 400 g/m².
Finishing and Further Processing of Our Spunlace Nonwovens
The further processing and finishing of spunlace nonwovens offers a multitude 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 adjusted and its performance optimized.For instance, the material can be made water- or dirt-repellent, flame-retardant, or antimicrobial.
