Nonwoven Materials for Medicine, Hygiene and PPE

Non-Woven Thermobonded Fabric for Medicine and Protective Clothing

This nonwoven material is made on technology REICOFIL®4. At first polypropylene threads are formed by extrusion, then aerodynamic formation of canvas is made and then thermal fastening on calender is made.


Applications for nonwoven thermobonded fabric

This nonwoven thermobonded material is widely used in light manufacturing for sewing medical and special protective clothing, various items of sanitary purposes.


Non-Woven Hydrobonded Fabric Advantages
