If you are asking yourself questions such as:
"What is the difference between spunlaid and spunlace?"
"Is drylaid the same as carding?"
"Where can I get a simple and clear explanation of the various technologies?"
"Which materials can be used to manufacture sustainable nonwovens?"
then you should consider taking this 3-day course.
This course offers:
- a unique overview of all aspects of nonwovens, technologies, raw materials and applications
- a platform to meet and network with fellow professionals in the nonwovens industries
- a great opportunity to see all manufacturing technologies (including demonstrations where possible) during a guided visit of the CETI facilities on the 3rd day
- A right balance between theory and practical exercices
The presence of a large range of samples, raw materials, nonwovens and finished products adds to the interactive nature of the course.
The sessions are designed to strengthen the understanding and the technical knowledge of any professional of the nonwovens industry involved with producers, suppliers, converters and retailers.
