Ultrasonic technology is increasingly being used across various sectors of the nonwovens industry, including absorbent hygiene products, filtration, automotive applications, the cable industries and more. In general terms, ultrasonic bonding uses high frequency sound to generate localized heat through vibration and causes thermoplastic fibers to bond together. This technology is sometimes able to replace other bonding methods such as adhesive and thermal technologies in certain applications. Following is a look at what some of the key manufacturers of ultrasonic technology are innovating in the nonwovens industry.
