Paper & Nonwoven Products

A smart and recyclable solution, to reinforce nonwoven products and reinforced paper through lamination production techniques.

TENAX extruded bi-oriented nets have many applications as reinforcement in the production of industrial fabrics, laminated composites, plastic, paper and for the structural support of polyurethane seats for cars, trains and planes. Unlike woven structures, extruded bioriented nets have the clear advantage of being ladder-proof and maintain high dimensional stability throughout the production process.

The molecular orientation process enables certain products to achieve uniform mechanical characteristics. We can manufacture net products larger than 4 metres in width, so that the performance of the finished product is not restricted.
