Non Woven Needle-Punch Felt | Technical Needle Felts | Nonwoven Textiles | Needle Punching
In conjunction with the Andrew Industries Textile Division, BMP manufactures and converts technical needle felts and nonwoven textiles for a wide range of industrial applications.
Needle felts are produced by mechanically interlocking fibres in a process called needle punching on a needle loom machine. Needle felts are a homogeneous structure of fibres constructed by entanglement. This is achieved by interlocking the fibres with barbed needles during the manufacturing process. The result is a uniformly dense, flexible product having excellent mechanical characteristics.
Nonwoven textiles are fabrics that are produced by mechanically, chemically, or thermally interlocking layers of fibres, filaments, or yarns. Thermal bonding is a technique for bonding fibres of a web using a conductive or convective heating method. For special cases the nonwoven may be hydro entangled, spun bond, or membrane composite.
Depending upon your specific requirements BMP will design a felt utilizing various fibre chemistries, fibre sizes, felt construction methods, and oil viscosities.
