Freudenberg Nonwovens has introduced its innovative and eco-friendly nonwoven product Lutradur ECO, made with Repreve recycled PET resin. Repreve is a brand made with recycled materials, including plastic bottles. Lutradur ECO product properties include dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, non-fray properties and surface uniformity. Lutradur ECO is suitable for many applications, including wall covering substrates, carpet backing, landscape and geotextiles, green roof systems, building and construction, and coating and printing substrates.
The transportation segment will feature its award-winning Lutraflor product, a new generation of nonwoven carpeting. This material consists of a 100% polyester composite construction using a color-mastered staple fiber layer and a spunlaid nonwoven substrate. It offers abrasion resistance, luxurious appearance, and high recycle content to help achieve green initiatives the company says. This unique weight-savings material will compliment other Lutradur applications within the transportation lineup such as automotive underbody shields and carpet tile backings for the airline industry.
New applications using Freudenberg-produced materials will be on display in the innovation sector of its IDEA 2013 booth. Materials such as Evolon, a unique microfilament fabric, have been fabricated into novel end-use products such as in-flight service blankets for the airline industry and durable sleeping bags for the outdoor enthusiast. Newly developed Lutrabond Fine Denier materials will also be a focus in this segment to promote its several key benefits such as web uniformity, high tear resistance and most importantly the ability to seal, weld, laminate or print with the substrate.
Several furniture and bedding products using many well known Freudenberg brands such as Lutradur, Evolon, and Celestia will be a part of the Building showcase. These end-use applications such as dust covers, anti-mite bedding, and fire retardant mattress covers serve various functions of protection. Green building products will also be on display for customers wanting to meet their sustainability initiatives with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED credit system. Examples of these materials include wall covering substrates made from Lutradur Eco and reinforced needle punch materials made from bottle flake for the roofing market.
To round out the Freudenberg display, the specialty segment has a wide variety of applications from disposable to durable-type products. Several materials from the disposable businesses include substrates for medical transdermal patches, wound care, adsorptives and cover layers for hygiene products. Additionally, industrial products will also be available such as water blocking tapes for cable, electrical insulators and surface veils for Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) composites.
