Non-woven: expertise and transformation process

The properties of non-wovens

Le non-woven is an innovative material that stands out for its lightness, mechanical strength and versatility. Unlike traditional textiles, it is not woven but obtained by assembling fibres mechanically, chemically or thermally. 
Its variations include non-woven fabric and non-woven fabrics used for applications ranging from insulation to filtration. The non-woven geotextile for example, is widely used in the construction industry for soil separation and stabilisation. 

The most common materials are non-woven polypropylenewhich is appreciated for its strength and lightness, and the non-woven polyesterwhich offers greater thermal stability. Specific solutions also exist, such as non-woven felt or the non-woven rolleradapted to industrial or construction needs.

The non-woven processes we master

ADDEV Materials offers complete mastery of process non-woven processingfrom formatting to final packaging. Each stage is designed to respond to specific industrial constraints and guarantee quality, consistency and traceability. 

Flat format

Pictogram flat format
  • Standard packaging adapted to non-woven rolls or pre-cut formats. 
  • Ideal for industrial applications requiring a uniform base. 
Pictogram folding
  • Production of technical folding to optimise storage and transport. 
  • Adaptable to the geometry of the final product and packaging constraints. 
  • Allows you to reduce logistics volume while preserving the mechanical properties of the non-woven. 

Our cutting technologies ensure precision and flexibility for all applications: 

Shear : 

  • Clean, regular cutting for large production runs. 
  • Used for rolls of non-woven fabrics for the automotive and construction industries. 

Crushing : 

  • Fine adjustment of thicknesses. 
  • Optimisation of performance according to insulation or filtration constraints. 

Custom cutting : 

  • Made-to-measure formats according to plans supplied. 
  • Reduced material waste for improved productivity.

FAQ - Process

Nonwovens are not woven from yarns, but from the direct assembly of fibres. This gives it unique properties such as lightness and versatility.

It is used in construction to separate and stabilise soil layers, filter water and reinforce structures (roads, ponds, landscaping).

Mainly the non-woven polypropylene and the non-woven polyesterfor insulation, interior trim and filtration.

The standard ISO 8 defines the maximum concentration of particles in suspension. It guarantees the cleanliness required for aeronautics, electronics and sensitive processes.

We provide flat formats, non-woven rolls and customised cutsaccording to your plans and industrial requirements.
