We are your Contact for Natural Fiber Composites

Natural fibers for technical textiles address the growing importance for environmentally conscious manufacturers and consumers. Thereby, the biodegradability of the materials becomes more and more important.

Our spunlace technology enables us to produce tear-resistant, durable, and strong nonwovens made from 100% natural fibers. These textiles can be used in many different applications, as reinforcing materials, or as optical surface layer, for example in the areas of:

  • Automotive and Road Transportation
  • Aerospace
  • Railway Vehicles and Infrastructure
  • Maritime Transportation and Shipbuilding
  • Building and Civil Engineering
  • Equipment and Machinery
  • Renewable Energy
  • Oil and Gas
  • Pipes and Tanks, Water Treatment and Sewage
  • Defence, Security and Ballistics
  • Electrical, Electronics, Telecoms and Appliances
  • Medical and Prosthetics
  • Sports and Leisure
  • Design, Furniture and Home

We focus on natural and sustainable fibers

We use natural fibers (flax, hemp) for composite structures and are flexible in terms of fiber diameter and length.

For the manufacturing of bio-composites different raw materials can be used:

Natural Fibers
Flax
Hemp
Cotton
Sheep whool

In addition to natural fibers, we work with high-performance fibers such as meta-/para-aramid, PAN or Panox, recycled polyester, black polyester as well as antistatic and conductive fibers.

Our products impress with outstanding material properties

Compared to conventional needle-punched nonwovens, our natural fiber nonwovens produced with our spunlace technology impress with their:

  • Special tear resistance
  • Isotropy
  • Homogeneous surface structure
  • Natural look and embossing, as a unique eye-catcher

In addition to different surface structures, we also offer our nonwovens with different scrims. These are inseparably bonded to the nonwoven without the use of chemicals or binders.
