Sommers Nonwoven Solutions

Unveil the intricate process behind Thermal Bonded Non-Woven Fabric, an innovative solution renowned for its durability and versatility. At Sommers, we pride ourselves on crafting premium-grade materials through meticulous manufacturing methods. The process begins with carefully selected synthetic fibers, such as polyester or polypropylene, which are fed into the production line. These fibers undergo carding, a method that aligns them into a uniform web. This web then progresses to the bonding stage, where heat and pressure are applied to fuse the fibers together. During thermal bonding, the web passes through heated rollers or calendering machines, which activate heat-sensitive adhesives present in the fibers. This controlled heat treatment ensures the formation of strong bonds between adjacent fibers, imparting stability and integrity to the fabric. The versatility of thermal bonded non-woven fabric lies in its ability to cater to diverse applications. Its robust structure makes it ...
