Nonwovens can be tailored to meet specific requirements by selecting the right manufacturing method, fiber polymer, blend and size, bonding technology or post treatment. They are characterized by properties like strength, stiffness, air or water permeability, pore size, chemical and thermal resistance, compatibility with radiation (UV or Gamma), and many more. Additionally, there are antimicrobial, electrostatic, hydrophobic or hydrophilic treatments, to name a few.
