Touch Can Change Everything In the nonwoven materials industry, we often talk about strength, basis weight, or breathability. However, there is one factor that often goes unnoticed and can be truly decisive: touch. When a material comes into direct contact with the skin, the user’s perception changes completely. This is where the Soft Touch treatment comes into play—a solution that is increasingly in demand because it transforms a conventional nonwoven …

A hydrophobic spunbond repels liquid, while a hydrophilic one absorbs and distributes it. The difference is not in the fiber itself, but in the treatment applied to the material. This adaptability allows the same spunbond to be used in products as diverse as diapers, sanitary pads, wipes, covers, or repellent barriers. In material science, treatment transforms function. Spunbond: the base material Spunbond is a nonwoven material made of continuous polypropylene …

Can a nonwoven smell? Not only that: it can release fragrance in a controlled way for weeks. For those of us working in the development and sourcing of technical materials, this statement is not a sensory curiosity but an industrial opportunity. Incorporating aromatic microcapsules into a technical nonwoven opens the door to new functionalities without altering the material’s base structure. It involves adding an olfactory sensory dimension to a substrate …
