BWF Protec - Technical Needle Felts

We have been producing technical needle felts by the yard for a wide variety of applications since 1960.

Technical needle felts - also known as nonwovens - usually consist of synthetic fibres which are processed into a stable flat structure by a mechanical needling process. Our synthetic needle felts feature various advantages and properties depending on the fibre used.

Our synthetic needle felts, whether as yard goods, ready-made or in endless form as belts or rollers, are available with the following properties, among others:

• temperature-resistant, e.g. meta-aramid and para-aramid felts
• chemical-resistant, e.g. needle felts made of polypropylene or PTFE
• mechanically resistant, e.g. qualities made of Dyneema or also para-aramid

You will always find the right needle felt for your application: Polyester needle felt, for example, is suitable for use in the steel industry due to its cost-effectiveness and properties. Needle felt yard goods made of heat and flame resistant fibres, such as aramid fibres, are used in workwear, protective equipment or for fire protection in train and aircraft seats.

In addition to synthetic fibres, wool or rayon can of course also be processed into needlefelt.

By the way, needle felt material is also referred to as nonwovens.
