Nonwovens Platform
CETI’s Nonwovens platform provides industrial players with comprehensive pilot and pre-industrial capabilities to develop, optimise and validate nonwoven solutions across a wide range of technologies and applications.
“By covering Spunbond, Meltblown and Drylaid processes, the platform enables the development of customised, high-performance and industrially relevant nonwoven materials and products.
Designed for applied R&D, industrial validation and scale-up, this platform supports innovation projects from material selection to pre-industrial and industrial readiness.”
Applications & industrial use cases
The Nonwovens platform supports a broad spectrum of industrial development and validation activities.
Development of nonwoven structures tailored to specific functional and performance requirements
Validation and optimisation of web formation and consolidation processes under industrial constraints
Integration of polymers or synthetic, recycled and natural fibers into technical nonwoven solutions
Development of high-performance nonwovens for demanding industrial applications
Valorisation of textile
waste streams through open-loop recycling solutions
Production of representative nonwovens for prototyping, testing and pre-industrial validation
How CETI uses this platform
CETI uses the Nonwovens platform to deliver technical development, validation and optimisation services across all major nonwoven technologies.
The platform enables feasibility studies, process optimisation and material qualification under conditions representative of industrial reality.
It supports a wide range of technical services, from early-stage development to pre-industrial validation and industrial transfer.
Backed by strong expertise in nonwoven processes and materials, CETI teams leverage experience gained from hundreds of projects across multiple industrial sectors.
This experience enables CETI to provide pragmatic, application-oriented solutions and tailored support adapted to the specific challenges of each project.
