Fibertex Nonwovens - Needlepunch technology

Needlepunch production technology

This dry-laid technology is based on a two-step process. First, polypropylene resin is extruded into fibres. Secondly, these fibres are carded and needlepunched and then bonded thermally to form nonwovens. In the late 1990s Fibertex in Aalborg installed an advanced automated fibre spinning line, which accounts for more than two thirds of Fibertex's fibre production and consumption.
Weights range from 70 g/m² to 1200 g/m².
