Americhem launches nonwovens fabric sample book

Americhem is displaying the book 'nVision Color Selector Guide' at booth #617 during the three-day fair in Boston, US.

The nVision guide contains spunbonded nonwoven sample swatches in 34 different colours. The swatches were made on Americhem's spunbonded nonwovens pilot line located at the company's plant in Dalton, Georgia. The pilot line is available for customers to test production of their products without interrupting production on their own manufacturing equipment.

“The nVision guide gives producers a head start on selecting colour for their nonwovens products,” said Robert Baldy, Americhem's market manager-nonwovens. “Each colour is distinct, and we list masterbatch use rates next to every colour. This way, it is easy for the manufacturer to start with the swatches in the book, then vary the use rates or combine colours.”

The colours can also be made to include physical properties that Americhem can design directly into the masterbatch formulation. Further, functional additives such as softeners, antistatics, antimicrobials and UV stabilisers can be combined with colour for multi-attribute masterbatches. (RKS)
