Nonwovens used for home furnishing applications can be found in virtually every room of the house. While they may not always be seen, such as in carpet underpaddings, drapery liners, scrims and tickings, today’s nonwovens are more textile-like than ever before and are increasingly being applied in more obvious applications like wallcoverings, window treatments, quilts and tablecloths.
One reason nonwovens are favored over other materials is that they’re compact, low weight and relatively price competitive compared to other textiles, according to Serkan Gogus, CEO of Turkish nonwovens producer Mogul.
Mogul offers two key types of nonwovens for home applications. Its Motex range of polypropylene spunbond fabrics have been used for a long time in bedding applications. For spring encasings in beds, Motex is desirable due to its close MD/CD ratio. The substrate is also being used in the quilting process for bedding components.
Mogul considers one of its newest developments, Madaline, a revolutionary substrate for home textile applications. The bicomponent microfilament technology can be treated
