What are nonwovens?

Nonwovens are materials made from fibers, filaments, and films that are arranged into webs, batts, or sheets and then bonded together using mechanical, thermal, or chemical means. Along with coated fabrics and other value-added textile products, nonwovens are a part of the textiles industry that is often referred to as technical textiles.

What are nonwovens used for?

Among the key uses for nonwovens are:

  • wipes
  • face masks and other PPE
  • diapers and training pants
  • feminine hygiene products
  • electrical componets and electronic goods, most notably in battery separators
While electrical components and electronic goods tend to use only small amounts of nonwovens, they are a sizeable market because they require higher value materials.
