General Nonwovens's multi-beam spunbond line produces 100 % Polyester (PET / PES) spunlaid,  thermally point bonded,  nonwovens in the range of 10 to 200 g/m2 (0.3 to 6 oz/yd2) at a maximum net width of 3.4 meters (135 inches). The rolls winded on 7.6 mm (3inch) cores can be slit to any size between 60 mm to full width (2.3 to 135 inch) with an outer roll diameter up to 150cm (59 inch).

Sub-denier, micro, filaments and course filaments up to 4 dpf (denier per filament) are available. The unique technology combined with different bonding options available allows production of high performance, very low shrinkage PET nonwovens.

Shrinkage in polyester fabrics is an important factor in many technical applications. General Nonwovens is able to produce PET fabrics that virtually have NO SHRINKAGE. Due to this feature, General Nonwovens is polyester spunbond is used as carrier for extrusion coating, artificial leather, bituminous roofing, floor covering and composite medias.

General Nonwovens is the first-ever company to commercially and economically produce very light weight and very uniform, very low shrinkage polyester spunbond nonwovens.
The term ?light weight polyester spunbond? has been defined starting at 10 g/m2 (0.3 oz/yd2) fabrics.

The introduction of light weight and uniform fabrics provides important savings to many customers and allowing them to use less basis weight product with great properties replacing existing heavier weight products.

General Nonwovens is targeting Automotive, Filtration, Coating and Technical Textiles industry with polyester spunbonds. Controlled elongation, shrinkage, stiffness, dimensional and thermal stability can be set to satisfy the needs of the market segments served. Since the product is moldable, performable, pleatable and weldable it is highly preferred in the industry.

Other features of our products can be listed as follows: Good heat and outdoor weather resistance, dyeable, non-fraying, high tensile strength and dimensional stability. It is possible to make ultrasonic seams and provide good printable characteristics.

Fabric finishing treatments adds value to the benefit of our customers. From very soft and uniform fabrics to stiff and durable fabrics with modified performance characteristics General Nonwovens produces any custom color spunbonded nonwovens to fit needs.
