Technical Nonwovens
for Diverse Markets

Needle Felt in Countless Variations

A Solid Foundation Opens Infinite Possibilities

Under the Polyvlies^® brand, we bring together the classic realm of needle felts.

Our offerings include carded and needle-consolidated felts crafted from synthetic, natural, and recycled fibers, as well as any desired combination of these materials, utilizing advanced carding technology.

With weights ranging from 60 g/m² to 3,000 g/m² and flexible manufacturing widths of up to six meters, we can create virtually any product imaginable, including an array of innovative ""sandwich constructions.""

Naturally Versatile in Application

Two That Complement Each Other Perfectly

Naropur^® is a pure natural fiber nonwoven fabric used in a variety of applications, such as landscaping, home textiles, and the food industry.

Additionally, Naropur^® serves as a precursor for Narodur^®, a natural fiber composite material with a thermosetting matrix that can be impregnated after the mat is produced. This transformation allows Naropur^® to become Narodur^®, which exhibits impressive properties such as high strength and remarkable rigidity while maintaining a lightweight structure. Narodur^® meets the stringent requirements for load-bearing components in the automotive, shipbuilding, aerospace, and furniture industries both effectively and economically.

Integrating Nature into Automotive

Everything Essential for Vehicle Construction

Naroplast^® is the precursor for a natural fiber composite material with a thermoplastic matrix, which is already incorporated as fibers within the mat (hybrid nonwoven fabric).

After the pressing process at the customer’s facility, its advantages, such as high strength and impact resistance combined with low component weight, become evident.

With Naroplast^®, even the highest demands in vehicle construction are met efficiently and economically (e.g., no hot tools required, short cycle times, one-shot process without adhesives, and the possibility to bond plastic elements using back-injection technology, etc.).

Crystal Clear Advantages

Distinctive Versatile Product Features

Glass fiber nonwovens can be produced from 100% glass fibers or blended with other fibers such as polypropylene, polyester, or even natural fibers, solidified through needle technology.

Currently, nonwovens with blends of glass and synthetic fibers are available in a weight range of 200 g/m² to 2,500 g/m².

High Durability

Solutions for Exceptional Demands

SkillCoat™ is a nonwoven fabric made from polypropylene and/or polyester. Thanks to its specialized manufacturing process, it achieves exceptional tensile strength in the longitudinal direction.

Depending on the application, its weight ranges from 50 g/m² to 300 g/m².

SkillCoat™ products are ideal for use as filter media, protective and carrier materials for coatings such as roofing membranes, sealing membranes, and composites for impregnation, as well as carriers for conveyor belts.

Lightweight Diversity

Low Weight, High Versatility, Many Options

The segment of acoustically effective fiber absorbers includes various types of predominantly bulky, thermally bonded nonwoven fabrics.

With their textile structure and lightweight design, they offer significant advantages over other sound-absorbing materials. These benefits lie in their high versatility and ease of modification regarding absorption design, spatial adaptation, shaping, and functionalization (e.g., self-adhesive coatings, hydrophobic treatment, edge sealing, etc.).

Air filtration media

Our new product line for filtration applications

The nonwoven filtration media made mostly from polyester fibers, are thermally and/or mechanically bonded for air filtration applications.

The basic weight for these products ranges between 60-600 g/m². Filter efficiencies can be achieved from ISO Coarse to ISO ePM10 > 50% according to ISO 16890.
