NONWOVENS & TEXTILES
INNOVATIVE NONWOVEN IMPREGNATION SOLUTIONS
Nonwoven and textile structures are perfectly suited for powder impregnation due to their porosity. Fibroline solutions are therefore ideal for functionalizing this type of material, leading to a multitude of innovative products. Dry powder impregnation technologies also enable a significant reduction in energy consumption; as such, they address the ecological challenges of the textile industry and help ensure compliance with current regulations. The entire Fibroline technology portfolio offers true flexibility, allowing an industrial line to integrate and process a variety of powders or additives.
FILTRATION, ABSORPTION, CAPTURE…
AIR FILTRATION
Fibroline technology enables the impregnation of a wide variety of active powders into porous substrates in order to filter the air. There are numerous applications, such as manufacturing anti-odor filters, VOCs capture, etc.
LIQUID FILTRATION
Functional powders can be added to a wide range of medias (nonwovens, foams, papers…) for the depollution, purification of liquids or extraction of valuable elements from e.g. ground water.
MILITARY
Various active powders can be impregnated into textiles for military purposes, with the goal of adsorbing chemical warfare agents (CWAs) or odors.
PROTECTION, INSULATION...
FIRE RETARDANT BARRIERS
A large range of fire-retardant powders are available on the market and can be impregnated into textiles to make high performance materials. Due to optimal powder location, it is possible to achieve cost reductions compared to conventional fire-retardant formulations.
ACOUSTIC OR THERMAL INSULATION
Fibroline solutions can manage the z-axis of the powder impregnation to enable improvement of underlay’s sound absorption characteristic. Specific powders allowing thermal insulation such as silica aerogel can be impregnated to obtain high performance insulating panels.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
Various powder-form absorbing substances are available on the market and once impregnated into porous substrate, they can become humidity regulation systems. The building industry is an example of where such innovative structures may become useful.
COSMETIC & CARE
COSMETIC PADS
Several formulations for exfoliation or cleaning purposes, can be impregnated with Fibroline technologies into pads to obtain innovative and environmentally friendly concepts. This dry impregnation technology eliminates in particular the use of preservatives leading to more natural and sustainable products.
SKIN CARE MASKS
Specifics formulations of powders can be impregnated with Fibroline technology into skin care products like facial masks. The S-Preg technology also enables the location of the additives in specific areas.
WIPES
Fibroline solutions are very well adapted to dry impregnated wipes with a wide range of functional powders. Among the advantages are water-free and preservative-free products.
