Bavarian nonwovens maker Sandler will be showcasing nonwovens for technical applications, such as acoustically efficient absorbers for cars, as well as its hygiene products and wipes at the 2014 INDEX trade fair that will take place from 8-11 April 2014 in Geneva.

The company will be exhibiting in a new light-filled booth, inside which, nonwoven insulation materials on walls and ceiling create a comfortable indoor climate and provide quiet rooms. A patchwork picture made of different nonwoven qualities, equipped with print and embossed motifs, showcase acoustic efficiency combined with a host of design opportunities, Sandler reports.

Visitors will also find sample collections showcasing Sandler’s latest developments for filtration, technical insulation, hygiene and wipes applications.

Nonwovens for hygiene products

New materials for top sheet applications are said to provide increased comfort in feminine hygiene thanks to a special combination of fibre blend and manufacturing technology.

The company also pays attention to the fluid management, provided by the nonwoven distribution layers, ensuring comfort and reliability.

In baby diapers and incontinence products extensible sawabond and sawasoft nonwovens as well as elastic sawaflex composites create room to move. In diaper ears and other closure systems these air-permeable nonwovens combine a textile feel and facilitate optimum fit.

From design to sustainability

Sandler wipe substrates are the friend in need from baby care to industrial cleaning, the company reports. They may be lightweight, conserving resources, and they are soft to gently care for sensitive skin in baby care or cosmetics. Or they may be particularly sturdy and bulky to remove stubborn dirt. 

Partnership and sustainability are Sandler’s watchwords regarding Eurocel—a fibre developed by Lenzing AG, manufactured in Europe from base materials of European origin. Using the ‘European fibre’, delivery distances for raw materials are shorter, carbon dioxide emissions during transport are reduced and the nonwovens’ carbon footprint is improved, Sandler reports.
