Other technical flexible materials - Non-wovens and sheaths

ADDEV Materials offers a wide range of technical flexible materials: nonwovens and sleeving, designed for mechanical protection, electrical and thermal insulation, structural reinforcement and cabling.

Versatile, robust and lightweight, these materials can be adapted to a wide range of industrial sectors, guaranteeing reliability, safety and durability in the most critical applications.

We have specialised sites for the custom cutting, folding and packaging of nonwovens for the hygiene, construction and agricultural industries.

Non-wovens and sheaths

Technical nonwovens (spunbond, spunlace, needlepunch...)

The technical nonwovens play a key role in filtration, reinforcement, absorption, protection and insulation in many industries.

Thanks to our expertise in converting, we can transform nonwovens into spunbond, spunlace, needlepunch, wetlaid and airlaid to supply formats adapted to each process: rolls, sheets, cut parts, technical kits.

We offer non-woven materials with specific mechanical, thermal or absorbent properties, for use in filtration, mobility, healthcare or industry.

Technology spunbond nonwoven, non-woven voile, filtering non-woven or even spunlace nonwoven are designed to meet a wide range of needs: resistance, breathability, uniformity, low linting and particle cleanliness.

Our expertise in converting means that we can guarantee perfect reproducibility, a low rate of material losses, and a optimum integration into the production line.

FAQ - Other flexible materials

The main industrial nonwovens are spunbond, the spunlace, the needlepunch, l’airlaid and the wetlaid. Each provides specific properties: mechanical strength, absorption, filtration or protection.

Le spunbond is resistant and suitable for structural applications, while the spunlace is softer, more absorbent and designed for uses requiring excellent uniformity and low linting.

They are used for filtration, l’absorption, the reinforcement, l’insulation and protection depending on the technology chosen.

The heat-shrinkable tubing, electrical sheaths, textile sheaths and high-temperature ducts provide mechanical protection, electrical insulation and thermal resistance.

La heat-shrinkable tubing shrinks when heated to fit the shape of the cable, whereas an insulating tube retains its shape and serves as rigid or semi-rigid protection.

 

Yes, we are proposing cut to size of non-wovens, composites, ducts and tubes for optimised integration into the production line.

Yes, many families like the high-temperature ducts, some composites and technical nonwovens are designed to withstand harsh environments.

Yes, ADDEV Materials provides ready-to-install kits, and punched parts, and formats adapted to industrial processes.

A fireproof sheath is used to protect cables against heat, flames and the risk of electric arcs. It limits the spread of fire and guarantees continuity of service for critical installations. Professionals use it in environments subject to high thermal stress: industry, railways, data centres, energy, HVAC, batteries, power electronics.

La fire-resistant heat-shrink tubing has a self-extinguishing formulation, In some cases, it complies with fire/smoke standards (UL224, VW-1, EN 45545 depending on the sector). It also offers superior resistance to heat, incandescent splashes and thermal ageing. Conventional sheathing simply provides mechanical or electrical protection; fire-resistant sheathing also provides a high level of protection. certified fire protection.

The choice depends on several criteria:

  • operating temperature (up to +260°C for certain fire-resistant silicone sheaths),

  • electrical voltage and the expected level of insulation,

  • industry standards (UL, EN 45545 for rail, IEC 60684, etc.),

  • exposure to fluids, oil, vibration or abrasion,

  • cable diameter and swaging rate for heat-shrink tubing.
    Critical projects - traction motors, electrical cabinets, converters, batteries - require certified, fire-resistant ducts that are compatible with harsh environments.
