Our technical nonwovens help protect and safeguard people and equipment from extreme temperatures.

Resistance to flash-over, radiant heat (RHTI), convective heat (HTI) and contact heat, dimensional stability, breathability (resistance to moisture vapour transfer), lightness and comfort are just a few of the qualities of our high-performance and smart nonwovens.

Key applications:

Personal protective equipment, protective clothing, gloves and shoes for firefighters, industrial and military hazards,
Thermal protection and insulation for industrial and aeronautical sectors,
Thermal insulation for industrial engines, the automotive sector and electric batteries, etc.

Properties and process:

Fibres: meta & para-aramids (mAR & pAR), pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile (OxPAN), FR acrylic, FR viscose.
Multilayer construction: nonwovens, woven or knitted fabrics (aramid, FR viscose, etc.), scrims (stainless steel, glass, etc.), film or membrane (FR PU, PTFE, AL or reflective aluminized, etc.), foam (FR PU).
Assembly process: needle-punching, lamination, quilting, stitching.
Finishing process: calendering, perforation, treatments (water-repellent, antibacterial, oil-repellent).
Formats: rolls, formats.
