FAQ

Nonwoven materials are simply amazing. We are used to the fact that people have questions about them. Some of the most frequently asked can be found below.

What is a nonwoven material?

“Nonwoven” is a grouping of textiles that are unwoven by their nature. There are several subgroupings of nonwoven textiles. We work with carded nonwoven fabrics, in the form of thermo-bonded, wadding and needle-felt designs. In distinction to woven textiles, we do not use spun threads, but staple fibre to manufacture our materials.

What is thermo-bonded wadding?

Thermo-bonded wadding is a type of carded nonwoven material. The mix of fibres includes one that has a lower melting point, which is heated to bind together the fibres into a wadding.

All of our thermo-bonded products fall under the trademark of Spordavadd.

We manufacture thermo-bonded wadding from 60g/m² to 2500g/m², with densities of 10kg/m³ to 100 kg/m³, and in thicknesses of 2 to 100 mm.

What is needle felt?

Needle felt is a mechanically bonded form of carded nonwoven material. The felting process passes the wadding through a needle chair that uses special needles to perforate the wadding and bind the fibres to each other. Needle-felt binding is stronger than binding achieved through thermo-bonding.

All of our needle-felt products fall under the trademark of Spordafelt.

We manufacture needle-felt, from 150g/m² to 1800g/m², with densities of 40kg/m³ to 150 kg/m³, and thicknesses of 2 to 20 mm.

What type of fibre does Sporda use?

Theoretically, any materials that are available in the form of staple fibre can be used, but we currently use fibres from two material groups: synthetic and natural fibres.

Our synthetic fibres primarily comprise PET, PP, PLA and (semi-synthetic) Viscose. Synthetic fibres are artificial materials. Under this category, we choose recycled materials, raw materials with high environmental profiles from selected suppliers and materials derived from natural sources. PLA and Viscose are cellulose based materials that are artificially refined. Synthetic fibres frequently compensate for specific properties that natural fibres lack.

Our natural fibres are also selected with care. We frequently include sheep’s wool, cotton and hemp in our natural products. Natural fibre has many interesting technical properties that are sustainable, from both the climate perspective and user perspective.

What is staple fibre?

The raw material that we use is called staple fibre. The fibre has a defined length, as opposed to an endless thread. We use fibres of between 30 to 75 mm.

How does Sporda work with the environment and sustainability?

We use natural fibres with a small eco footprint, as well as synthetic fibres with positive properties. For example, we mainly use PET fibres made from recycled PET, which performs sufficiently positively to make it an attractive sustainable choice. Our manufacturing stage is free from chemical additives and we recover the materials of the respective products within our own processes. We are committed to environmental conservation and participate in research projects to create sustainable materials with different fields of application.

We purchase renewable electricity (hydro and wind). Our choice of company cars is hybrid or electric vehicles. Our environmental efforts go hand in hand with our product development and our market offering.
