Lenzing rolls out new nonwoven web formation technology, and commissions first pilot line




CLOVERDALE, CA, September 20, 2018-

Fiber and filament specialist Lenzing offered an innovation it believes could dramatically change the nonwovens industry, announcing last week what it described as a new web forming platform. The company believes Lenzing Web Technology, which can be coupled with bonding systems such as hydroentangling or needlepunching, has the potential to offer a sustainable alternative for many end-use areas.

The technology is still in its infancy, with a pilot line just moving from commissioning to the process development stage in Lenzing, Austria. Executives told Nonwovens Markets the company is open to a variety of approaches to commercialization, potentially ranging from licensing the technology to actually producing roll goods, either on its own or in a joint venture with another partner or partners.
