Spunbond Nonwowens Platform
CETI’s Spunbond Nonwovens platform provides industrial players with pilot and pre-industrial capabilities to develop, optimise and validate Spunbond nonwoven materials.
“The platform enables the production of continuous filament nonwovens directly from polymers, with a working width of 50 cm, offering high flexibility for material development and industrial validation.
Designed for applied R&D and pre-industrial validation, this platform supports the development of customised, high-performance Spunbond nonwovens under conditions representative of industrial constraints.”
Applications & industrial use cases
The Spunbond Nonwovens platform supports a wide range of industrial development and validation activities.
Development of mono-component and bi-component Spunbond nonwoven structures with controlled basis weight and filament diameter
Validation of polymer processability for Spunbond applications
Optimisation of mechanical, functional and surface properties of nonwovens
Development of customised or application-specific Spunbond products
Integration of recycled, functionalised or innovative polymers
Production of representative nonwovens for prototyping, testing and pre-industrial validation
How CETI uses this platform
CETI uses this platform to carry out technical developments and validation work on Spunbond nonwoven materials.
It enables feasibility studies, process optimisation and material qualification under industrially relevant conditions.
The platform is used to produce nonwoven samples for testing, prototyping and pre-industrial validation.
Activities are conducted by expert teams with strong know-how in polymers, nonwovens and textile processes.
The platform supports a wide range of technical services within CETI’s service offerings.

Consolidation & finishing capabilities
The Spunbond Nonwovens platform offers a wide range of web consolidation and finishing processes, enabling the development of nonwovens with tailored mechanical, functional and surface properties.
Consolidation processes:
Calendering
Hydroentanglement
Thermal bonding (oven)
Needle punching
Combined processes (needle-punched web followed by thermal bonding)
Finishing processes:
Smooth calendering
Kiss-roll coating
Padding
These processes can be combined to meet specific performance, durability or functional requirements.
