Cormatex’s airlay technology is based on a new aerodynamic fibre batt formation system, capable of replacing traditional mechanical processes using carding machine and cross lapper, in many applications of the nonwoven sector. Thanks to an innovative process pressure control system, this new machine enables the formation of fibre batt, ready for needle punching and/or thermobonding processes, perfectly even both longitudinally and across the whole machine width.
Please find below some of the main application sectors of this technology:
- Automotive: preformed panels, cotton wool for seats, thermal and sound insulating articles;
- Agriculture: agricultural land fertilization systems;
- Home furnishing: upholstering for sofas, armchairs, chairs, mattresses and quilts;
- Building: insulation items for roofs and walls, especially through the employment of 100% natural and eco-friendly materials;
- Soundproofing: soundproofing panels for various applications;
- Thermal insulations: thermal insulation panels for various applications;
- Hygiene/Bodycare: make-up articles;
- Clothing: stuffing for windcheaters or interlining supports for clothing and furnishing;
- Packaging: protective material for the shipment of fragile goods
