Conwed to show netting portfolio at Techtextil expo in US
June 01, 2015 - United States Of America
Conwed, the leading plastic netting manufacturer in the world, is set to display its netting portfolio at Techtextil North America 2015 expo, to be held in Houston, Texas from June 2 to 4, 2015.
Conwed netting is usually used to reinforce, support and bond different materials and substrates. When used in composite form, netting can add superior strength without significantly increasing the weight of the entire composite. Its lightweight features help manufacturers create composites with film, paper, foil, foam, bubble wrap, nonwoven and other fabrics.
The company will display co-extrusion netting at the expo. Co-extrusion is a multi-layer extruded netting than can be subsequently oriented where different polymers can form different layers on the same netting configuration. It is a square netting construction and Conwed has the ability to build netting with A/B, A/B/A, and A/B/C layer combinations.
Another proprietary netting technology to be presented at Techtextil North America will be Rebound elastomeric netting. Rebound was conceived as an ideal alternative to spandex, films and stretchable nonwovens in composites needing a stretch engine material, according to a company release.
Ivan Soltero, strategic marketing manager at Conwed said, “Our netting portfolio is used in automotive, filtration, medical, hygiene, and disposable consumer products. We help our customers achieve specific performance targets by customizing every netting design we create for them.”
“Rebound is probably one of our most advanced netting technologies. It is used in disposable consumer products providing elasticity features for waistbands and side panels. We are also able to make netting with stretchable features in one or both directions by using our bi-component manufacturing process” said Soltero.
Organised annually by Messe Frankfurt, Techtextil North America represents all vertical aspects of the technical textile industry from research and development, through raw materials and production processes, to conversion, further treatment and recycling. (GK)
