Freudenberg displays nonwovens at INDEX

One of the major opportunities in advanced wound care is to create a moist environment that accelerates healing. This is precisely the objective of Freudenberg Performance Materials' products. Freudenberg Performance Materials has combined hydrophilic polyurethane foams with hydroactive nonwovens. These laminates absorb wound exudates significantly faster and have a considerably higher retention capacity than foam wound dressings. Antimicrobial solutions help to reduce the bacterial load in infected wounds and also act as a barrier in wounds with a high risk of renewed infection.

The company also presented high-performance textiles for cosmetic applications along with binder-free skin-friendly nonwovens for diapers, feminine hygiene and incontinence products. The topsheets and acquisition distribution layers (ADL) for feminine hygiene products are extremely soft and supple and feature high absorbency. In the case of incontinence products, the extremely soft topsheets, backsheets and ADL from Freudenberg offer dependable quality, high leakage protection, very good wearer comfort and extremely high tear resistance.

For babies' diapers, Freudenberg offers a full range of topsheets, backsheets and ADL. The capillary structure of these products rapidly transfers liquids from the top sheet to the absorbent core and ensures that liquids are reliably retained.

With its super-microfilament textiles, Freudenberg Performance Materials presented the latest innovation in the Evolon product range. Thanks to their dense structure of extremely thin super-microfilaments, these fabrics prevent feathers and down from escaping from pillows, duvets, sleeping bags and other quilted products. Further highlights were Evolon 3D for high-end wipes and composites for demanding technical packaging. (KD)
