Industrial
Nonwovens are used widely in many industrial markets. Fiberweb has a strong position in the construction industry, fabric softener sheet and graphic arts markets amongst others.
In the construction industry, Fiberweb manufactures the well known Typar®/Tekton® brands for housewrap, geotextiles and roofing applications.
In North America, consumers typically apply fabric softener to their clothes through the use of an impregnated fabric softener sheet in a tumble dryer. This is a technically demanding application and Fiberweb is a leading supplier.
In the graphic arts industry, there is a demand for specialised wipes and roller covers used in the set-up of off-set lithographic printing processes and in more modern digital printing equipment.
