Successful product development begins with selecting not only the right materials, but also the right supplier for your materials. When it comes to nonwoven fabrics, optimal product quality and performance often is achieved with custom nonwoven fabric, developed by a knowledgeable and experienced nonwovens manufacturer.
The WPT Nonwovens team creates a diverse range of custom nonwovens featuring a variety of fibers, bonding, and treatment options, each providing characteristics that benefit the particular application. When we work with our customers to develop the right nonwovens for their product, we begin the process by considering several key aspects of the product:
- Product End Use
Understanding how the nonwoven end product is going to be used will help determine what treatment option will provide that desired performance. - Desired Product Appearance
Options range from lofty highly absorbent nonwovens for the medical and hygiene markets, to very slick or stiff products used in construction and industrial markets. - Required Product Tensile Strength
Nonwovens can be engineered to meet specific strength and flexibility requirements. The nonwoven material bonded and treated to provide the necessary strength properties for the application.
