GeoTech – Technical Textiles

The most crucial component to building a system that achieves your exact needs is to have as many options as possible.

ITW Dynatec offers the widest range of options around:

• Equipment designed to make optimal use of a wide variety of hotmelts, including APAOs, polyamaraides, polyesters, TPRs, PSAs, EVAs and PBAs
• Methodologies for flow or solid barrier
• Customizable coating and laminating specifications, from a single yarn to a substrate up to five meters wide
• Speeds from 10 feet to 3,000 feet per minute
• Coat weights of less than 1 GSM to hundreds of GSM
• Intermittent or continuous operation
• High precision coat weights as low as 2 GSM

Technical textiles—including drainage, filtration, protection, reinforcement, and separation products—require bonding different substrates together, such as nonwoven to nonwoven or nonwoven to film, and ITW Dynatec’s UFD fiberized spray technology offers the industry’s most advanced, efficient, customizable solution.

The Dynatec Advantage

Significant adhesive savings. The Apex slot die adhesive applicator’s clean, crisp cutoff creates adhesive savings unmatched in the industry.

Product savings. Apex’s innovative design features, such as reverse-acting modules and optimized channels, minimize not only adhesive waste but also product waste.

Both slot die and UFD fiberized spray can be used, depending on whether the product requires a solid or porous coating or laminating. Beyond outstanding options, such as compatibility with a wide range of substrates, adhesives, speeds, widths and coat weights, these technologies offer the capability of adding characteristics such as waterproofing and skid-resistance coatings.
