With India on the anvil to embrace usage of Nonwovens, this technology solution from Rajoo would go a long way in helping increase the current per capita consumption- a parameter closely linked to economic development and per-capita income.

Across Sectors, the industry is poised to witness radical changes in the adoption of PP Spunbond and melt-blown nonwoven fabrics. Segments such as automotive, medical, personal care and hygiene, home furnishings, household, stationery, agriculture and geotextiles would be the early adopters and enjoy the benefits presented by use of nonwovens as:

• Fabrication speed and flexibility
• Can be slit in both directions without fraying
• Heat sealed / seamed / folded / shaped in a variety of ways
• Possibility of ultrasonic welding

Understanding this market opportunity and industry benefit, Rajoo Engineers decided to address the areas relating to low productivity and cost competitiveness as well as obsolete technology by launching a Complete Line for Producing PP spun Bond and Melt-Blown Nonwovens Fabrics.

Nonwoven fabrics present substantial advantages. Manufactured by high speed low cost process, nonwovens are even today used in many applications, most of them hidden. For medical applications, they not only offer high absorbency and air-permeability, but also do not stick to the wound ensuring a skin friendly microclimate. In future and textile applications, nonwovens excel in terms of their look, permeability and abrasion resistance. The structure and low weight of acoustic nonwovens offer significant advantages in perforated ceiling systems when compared to conventional sound proofing systems. Nonwovens in horticulture protect plants against temperature extremes by day and night, thus creating a foundation for earlier harvests with excellent results. In addition to being air and water permeable, they can be UV stabilized and are resistant to rotting. In window treatments, nonwovens are use to design windows for enhanced functionality and appearance. Their ability to diffuse light while maintaining room brightness enhances the feeling of privacy and helps protect furniture. Their natural insulating ability helps in energy conservation. This partial list of ever-growing applications is a clear signal of the fast acceptance of this fabric, primarily due to its unique properties.
