Chemical & Thermal Bonding
01
We have adapted our chemical engineering expertise to create thermally bonded modern oral pouch fabric without incorporating binders, using a ‘chembond’ process.
At Nonwovenn, our innovations experts and engineers have been able to modify our chemical bonding process to create soft, strong, thermally bonded fabrics that can withstand mastication whilst creating a softer feel in the mouth all without the need for chemical binders.
By utilising our existing ‘chembond’ technology, our team can create nonwoven fabric for oral pouch products by using thermal – or heat bonding techniques whilst eliminating the need for any chemical binders.
We use thermal bonding to carefully combine staple fibres, such as Lyocell, with thermoplastic fibres to offer mechanical integrity. The resulting nonwoven fabric is robust, highly resilient, and remains capable of withstanding manipulation in the mouth while retaining a soft, desirable mouthfeel experience for the user.
Additionally, the liquid permeability of the fabric, is not compromised. This allows the controlled release of active ingredients from within the pouch– be it nicotine, flavours, coffee, tea or pharmaceuticals.
Ingenious innovations
01
Chewable Fabric
We develop game-changing, highly regulated fabrics that both particulate and facilitate gaseous chemical entrapment. Our unique design is the basis for a range of performance functionality variants.
02
Chemical & Thermal Bonding
We have adapted our chemical engineering expertise to create thermally bonded modern oral pouch fabric without incorporating binders, using a ‘chembond’ process.
03
Chemical resistance fabric
Our specialist material can resist chemical attacks that could otherwise deteriorate the integrity of your product. Such resistance stability to additives include softening agents, flavourings and humectants.
04
Controlled flavour release fabric
Our scientists at Nonwovenn have configured a revolutionary fabric that controls the flow-rate of your active ingredient. This means your users can enjoy more, or less, of your painstakingly perfected flavour.
05
Biodegradable fabric
Our biodegradable fabric is constructed entirely from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, cornstarch, and cellulosic materials. Biodegradable technology (viscose/PLA/PVOH/PBS/bamboo, binders, and natural bast fibres (including hemp, ramie, jute, flax, kenaf & nettle).
06
Lozenge products
Our nonwoven lozenge product provides a secure casing for your flavoured contents. When the user chews the lozenge, the flavours are gently released to enhance the experience.
07
Lyocell-based fabric
Our sustainable, lyocell-based fabric can withstand manipulation in your end-user’s mouth when chewed – all while maintaining a desirable oral feel.
