The nonwoven fabrics produced by Atex are broadly defined as a structure consisting of several sheets of fibers which are thermally bonded together. They are smooth, porous sheets that are made of filaments of appropriately distributed thermoplastic fibers. They are not made using conventional textile systems with a warp and weft and do not require conversion of the fibers to yarn. Nonwoven fabrics are engineered structures that offer limited life, single-use or extremely durable solutions. We are able to provide nonwovens with very specific functions including absorbency, liquid repellency, resilience, stretch, softness, volume, tensile strength, flame retardancy, washability, bacterial barrier and sterility. These properties can often be combined to create nonwovens specially designed for specific applications and offer an excellent balance of product life and cost effectiveness. They can also be used in combination with different materials and offer a wide range of products that can be used individually or as components of apparel, home furnishings, health care, medical products and consumer goods. Some of the more familiar products made using our nonwovens are listed below:

disposable diapers
sanitary napkins & tampons
sterile wraps, caps, gowns, masks and drapes used in the medical field
household and personal wipes
laundry aids (fabric dryer-sheets)
apparel interlining
carpeting and upholstery fabrics, padding and backing
wall coverings
agricultural coverings and seed strips
automotive headliners and upholstery
filters
envelopes
tags
labels
insulation

house wraps
roofing products
civil engineering fabrics/geotextiles
landscaping & gardening

As you can see, there are many uses for nonwoven fabrics.

 

Technology and creativity are the basis of our ability to develop high quality, extremely functional products.
