At Techtextil, Norafin, a maker of spunlaced nonwovens for technical applications, showcased a new wall covering product made via flax processing. The UV resistance of flax fibers, their natural appearance and their positive sustainability profile, can create wall coverings that offer good and natural indoor climate while offering insulation properties as well. Norafin has been introducing flax into its spunlace business for several years.
In late 2016, Norafin, which is based in Germany, announced it would build a manufacturing facility in Henderson County, NC.
