Acupuncture technology shows strength in a series of durable markets. With its versatility and flexibility, needle punched nonwoven technology continues to grow in durable markets such as automobiles, geotextiles, filters, furniture and other markets.
Compared with other technologies, acupuncture technology has a lower investment threshold, and manufacturers can achieve multiple goals with only one production line. Needle punched nonwovens can be made into various gram weights and can be made from a wide range of natural and synthetic staple fibers.
"Needling is a very versatile technology," said John McNabb, chief technology officer of kodebol high performance materials. "It's cost-effective and has really made progress over the past 15 years to produce more uniform and lighter products. We can use different polymers, different types of fibers, so it's very flexible. "
More and more nonwovens will be used in vehicles to reduce weight and increase gasoline mileage, and can also be used in future new vehicles, such as electric vehicles or fuel cell vehicles. "They will have a high demand for sound-absorbing materials and insulation materials, and that's where acupuncture will work," he added
At the same time, due to its cost-effectiveness, more needled fabrics are needed in construction, which can use different types of short fibers and provide the required tensile and elongation strength.
