Stretchable Nonwovens: Major Enabling Technologies and Recent Advancements
Over two decades of research has lead to a broad array of extensible and elastic nonwoven fabrics and composites from films, foams, nets, filaments, bicomponent spunbond, meltblown and other technologies. Key to these advancements are unique elastomers, fabrics, composites, and stretch activation processes for stretchable nonwovens. Many elastomeric polymers have been developed and refined for the nonwovens market including olefin-based elastomers providing good performance at a significantly lower cost than earlier polymers. The personal hygiene market has been a key business driver for stretchable nonwoven developments to date. A key question remains, however, as to the magnitude of future global business opportunity in this high-value, technically sophisticated category of nonwovens. This free Nonwoven Industry webinar will provide an overview of recent developments and review the most important enabling technologies for stretchable nonwovens.
INDA is announcing a new technical report covering the key advancements and market forecast for stretchable nonwovens. The report will be available for sale in November of this year. The report will provide a more detailed look at the underlying technologies, developments by company, market and technology trends and will include a future forecast for these fabrics and the associated cost-benefit assessment in various markets and applications.
