Thermobond nonwovens

Our range of Superabsorbent Thermobond Nonwovens are ideal for use in applications that require a lightweight, conformable and highly absorbent solution – a fabric capable of absorbing many times its own weight in liquid and locking it away. They are often selected for use as an absorbent core in ultra-thin disposable hygiene products and medical dressings, or even as a water-blocking tape in cable applications.

These highly absorbent slimline fabrics provide superior strength and durability compared to some other nonwoven technologies. This is a result of the thermal bonding process that uses heat to melt the outer layer of the fibres, creating a strong and reliable bond between them. They are typically produced using fibres such as Polyester, Polypropylene, Rayon etc. All of our Thermobond Nonwovens also contain our Super Absorbent Fibres (SAF™).

We can achieve thermally bonded materials with up to 80% SAF™ and have a catalogue of fabrics readily available to sample – you can browse these below. Bespoke fabrics can also be manufactured if required.
