Industrial Nonwoven fabrics
Nonwoven fabrics have seen impressive growth with penetration into a number of filtration industry end-use market segments. Until nonwovens began to seriously access the market in the 1970s, woven textileswere the material of choice in many industry sectors. Nonwovens offered a less expensive alternative and often a distinct technical advantage by the basic attributes of the nonwoven construction. Today, the filtration industry worldwide is growing at 2 to 6 percent per year above gross domestic product. Even so, the industry’s best years are ahead, with steady and accelerated growth expected for the foreseeable future.
