Non wovens, laminating materials, technical woven fabrics and converting

You can contact us for consulting on non-wovens, technical textiles, laminating and converting. As an independent consultant and provider, Joint International is the perfect partner to find (sourcing) the suitable nonwoven product for existing products or new developments. There are many different types of nonwovens. In addition, each manufacturer has his own technical specifications in the product itself, fiber material, finishing options, but also regarding production width, delivery times, prices and MOQs. It doesn't make it any easier to find the right partner for your new product yourself.

Nonwovens often have a property that can be easily combined with another product that is supplied on rolls.These can be woven or knitted fabrics, but also foam or synthetic films. Combining these materials can be done in different ways, but is often done by laminating them with a hot-melt. This hot-melt comes in different forms and Joint International can save you a lot of time in this maze. Thanks to our contacts with many manufacturers of the various materials, we can arrive at workable solutions relatively quickly.

We have extensive knowledge and experience in the field of coating and lamination by working closely with a number of laminating companies.

We also represent suppliers of thermoplastic adhesive webs and powders, which are used in the lamination of textiles, foam and composite materials. We use our knowledge and contacts to guide companies that want to process non-woven products to the right choice.

1. Non wovens (a.o. PLA )

Non wovens fabric is a web which is made from natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic fibers. These fibers are connected with each other, so that there is a strong web formed, having the desired properties. No yarn is used, which is a major cost saving compared to a knitted or a woven tissue.

These products are used in many different applications. Major applications include among other: sanitary napkins or diapers, mops and cleaning cloths, disposable surgical drapes, filtration, isolation materials, etc. Often invisible, they have become an important part of many end products.

We offer the following fabrics:

• Airlaid
• PLA nonwoven
• Chemically bonded
• Spunlaced in various fiber mixtures
• Spunbond (PP and PES)
• Meltblown
• Needle punched
• Thermally bonded PP, PA of PES
• 
  

2. Laminating materials

Lamination is joining two or more layers together using various different techniques and adhesion systems. Different or similar materials can be joined together to obtain a product with favorable material characteristics. Hotmelt lamination is a technique of joining together multiple layers with a flatbed lamination press through a thermoplastical medium.

Joint International focuses on lamination with Hotmelt powders, films and nonwoven made of thermoplastical synthetics.

We offer the following laminating products:

• hot melt coating powder
• Silicone coated carriers; paper, PE, etc.
• Thermoplastic Roll Goods
• 
  

3. Technical woven fabrics

Technical woven fabrics is a short name for a very large area of fabrics and applications. In fact, the textile has properties or resistances higher than an ordinary knitted or woven fabric. Joint International has extensive contacts and expertise in the field of nonwovens and lamination. Therefore we can assist you in finding or creating the right product.

Examples of technical textiles:

• Flame retardant textiles
• Bio degradable fabrics
• Made-to-measure knitted and laminated fabrics
• 
  

4. Converting

To make the product suitable for the end application or the next step in production, the product must be brought into the correct form and format. Here again, Joint International has a network of companies that can be of assistance. Whether it involves wrapping, punching, ultrasonic or welding, our advice can save valuable time.

Don't hesitate to approach us with your questions, even if the exact product you're looking for is not mentioned.
