Nonwoven Fabrics for Your Home & Office
Advantages of Engineered Nonwoven Fabrics
Home Furnishing Advantages
Whether your products are intended for residential or commercial spaces, engineered nonwoven fabrics can provide you with a number of advantages.

Heat and flame resistance
Engineered nonwoven fabrics can be designed to have an extremely high melting point as well as dimensional stability at high temperatures.

Durability
Relative to their weight, engineered nonwoven fabrics can be designed to wear better than comparable weights of woven or knitted materials. When used as backing material, engineered nonwoven fabrics can increase the longevity of upholstery by reducing internal abrasion (up to five times more durable than other traditional materials).

Anti-allergy and anti- microbial properties
Engineered nonwoven composites can be laminated to bedding and mattress materials to protect allergy sufferers from dust and mites - without any chemical additives.

Strength and uniformity
Many engineered nonwoven fabrics have higher tensile, tear, and burst strength than their traditional textile counterparts and can resist repeated load bearing. Home furnishings can thus retain their form and appearance over longer periods of time, making them very cost-effective.

Fluid resistance and retention
Engineered nonwoven fabrics can be designed to retain fluids and to resist staining. Engineered nonwoven fabrics can also be designed to resist attack by many solvents, alkalies, and other chemicals.
