Airlaid

Airlaid

Airlaid forming is an important web forming process for nonwovens. High speed airflow suspends, disperses and conveys opened short fibers evenly; fibers settle naturally and accumulate on the forming screen to form a bulky, uniform and randomly oriented fiber web.

Without mechanical carding and laying, fibers are arranged randomly with balanced strength in all directions. The resulting web features high bulkiness and a wide adjustable basis weight range. It is compatible with various raw materials including long/short fibers, regenerated fibers and wood-pulp blended fibers.

Commonly combined with 3D filling, thermal bonding, and subsequent spunlace/needle punching processes, airlaid webs are widely used in automotive acoustic filling, thermal batting, air filtration, flushable substrates and other products.
