In the carpeting industry, Lutradur nonwovens constitute the invisible supporting inside layer of tufted carpets and carpet tiles. Carpeting tufted on Lutradur possesses high dimensional stability, repeating accuracy, surface uniformity and edge strength.
In the automotive industry, Lutradur nonwovens are used as first and second backings mainly for making molded automobile carpets. The nonwoven backing enables them to be simply and accurately fitted, and ensures they remain dimensionally stable even when the climate changes substantially with the seasons of the year.
In personal hygiene applications, Vilmed nonwovens, with their specifically developed property profiles, meet the stringent quality requirements laid down for children's diapers, incontinence products and ladies' hygiene items. They are hydrophobil finished and particularly skin-friendly, with their textile character ensuring maximized comfort for their wearers.
In horticultural applications, Lutrasil nonwovens protect the plants against temperature extremes by day and by night, thus creating the foundation for earlier harvests with excellent results. They are permeable to both air and water, UV-stabilized, and resistant to rotting.
Evolon Microfilaments: a new generation of microfiber
Evolon is a unique microfilament fabric perfectly combining technical and key textile advantages: Soft, drapable and much lighter than traditional textiles, very strong and isotropic. Highly dense and compact fibre structure, very good barrier properties such as particle filtration, thermal insulation, wind resistance and UV protection. Evolon is highly breathable with very good moisture management. How Evolon is being made: Polyester and Polyamide chips are spun into endless segmented filaments, uniformly laid on a belt, then, simultaneously split into microfilaments and entangled together with high pressure water jets, creating a fabric.
