The special nonwoven impresses with its unsurpassed versatility, adaptability and durability and is being applied in numerous industries.
Lutradur® –
innovative manufacturing process
Freudenberg Performance Materials manufactures Lutradur® in a proprietary, one step process. First, synthetic polymers in chip or flake form are extruded and spun into endless mono or bi-component filaments. The filaments are cooled, stretched, laid down on a belt and then thermally bonded in a continuous process. This process enables the development of solutions tailored to specific challenges. Lutradur® filaments are made from high-performance polymers such as (recycled) polyester and polypropylene, optionally with a polyamide, copolyester or (modified) polypropylene sheath. Options include open surfaces for improved coating impregnation and closed surfaces for optimal adhesion and thinner coating layers, contributing to process efficiency and cost savings.
Highly flexible
Configurable to specific application requirements, such as moisture resistance or thermal stability.
Sustainable
High proportions of recycled polymers (rPET) stand for sustainable product solutions and at the same time offer high tensile strength and thermal stability.
No frayed borders
The advanced thermal bonding of Lutradur® ensures a clean cut without fraying or curling - a crucial factor for precision and the durability of finished products.
