Insulation
Insulation refers to various systems and equipment to limit damage or unwanted entry from forces or mediums such as fire, heat, noise, electricity, moisture, etc. A wide range of materials and manufacturing processes provide nonwoven fabrics with desirable performance in absorption. Sound and moisture resistance, flame resistance, and non-conductivity.
Chiltration
Nonwoven fabrics play an important and irreplaceable role in the filter materials segment. Although the field of filtration is widely varied, nonwoven fabrics can be adapted to almost all of them due to their variability in the type of filtration work and their economic production. This translates into a dominant market share in the global filtration market of non-woven fabrics.
Building and Construction
Nonwoven fabrics are increasingly used in geotechnology; For example, they are used in soil engineering and for laying foundations in road construction and on building and land reclamation sites, and as structural, permanent, or temporary components. A common feature of these materials is that they are used in all geotechnical applications, i.e. they come into contact with soil or rock. In the past few decades, nonwoven fabric production techniques have evolved rapidly, so that a wide range of textile constructions with different properties are now available. Nonwoven fabrics for use as geotextiles are mainly made from polypropylene or polyester in the form of fiber or filament nonwoven fabric. The main type of bonding technique used is nilling technology, and subsequent heat setting improves strength properties and dimensional stability.
Nonwoven fabrics are also responding in both flat and pitched roofing markets. Building standards, energy-saving schemes, and changing environmental conditions require an improved foundation for a breathable and impermeable underlay and bituminous membrane for pitched roofs, both of which can be best served with versatile non-woven fabrics.
Agriculture
Non-woven fabrics are effectively used to optimize the productivity of crops, orchards, and greenhouses. The use of non-woven fabric covers on land increases yield and improves crop quality. Light, flexible sheets are laid over the seedbed, creating a microclimate that regulates heat and humidity. Plant growth is accelerated, and they are protected from harsh weather and insects. Their protective nature means that the need for pesticides is reduced and manual labor is kept to a minimum.
Vehicles
Tens of thousands of automotive parts are made from non-woven fabrics, from trunk liners and carpets to air and fuel filters. By creating essential properties required for excellent performance and safety, nonwoven fabrics help reduce vehicle weight, enhance comfort and aesthetics, and provide superior insulation, fire resistance, and resistance to water, fuel, temperature extremes, and abrasion. Nonwoven fabrics are easy to handle during assembly. They are tailor-made for their work and can be heat-formed, embossed, lined, coated, and printed. More importantly, due to their versatility and numerous advantages, they are also widely used in the design and construction of other vehicles and means of transportation – airplanes, trains, boats, spacecraft, and satellites.
