At INDEX 2014, Switzerland which starts from April 8 to 11, 2014, Freudenberg Nonwovens will focus on individual solutions from advanced wound care to sun protection. Freudenberg has 30 years experience in the medical sector and presents a comprehensive portfolio for traditional wound care, complemented by solutions for ostomy applications. In addition the focus is on innovations, such as antibacterial finishing to the use of chitosan fibers in combination with hydro-active nonwovens for advanced wound care products.
In the hygiene segment, Freudenberg offers ultra light and skin friendly top sheets, back sheets and acquisition distribution layers for baby diapers, feminine care and adult incontinence applications. These nonwovens are comfortable thanks to the cotton like structure. Special solutions such as eco friendly ADLs complete the product portfolio for the hygiene segment.
Freudenberg has developed an ultra light product variant of Evolon with a 3D structure, a material with an soft touch and high volume, with additional cleaning efficiency of a microfilament cloth. The general purpose microfilament is used both for wet and dry applications -- for surface treatment of cars, in professional cleaning, as well as in the consumer sector as LCD wet wipes or for cosmetic wipes. Evolon has an ultraviolet protection factor of 80. So it’s an interesting option for textile manufacturers, makers of sunshades, awnings etc.
Freudenberg Nonwovens is one of the world’s largest producers of nonwovens, with 21 manufacturing and processing sites in 13 countries.
