What is high loft nonwoven?
High-loft nonwoven refers to thick, bulky nonwoven materials with significant thickness, typically created through processes like needlepunching, airlaying, or thermal bonding. These materials are commonly used in insulation, filtration, automotive applications, and bedding products where bulk, thermal performance, or cushioning properties are essential.
