Showcasing Innovation at Techtextil 2026 and INDEX 2026
At the upcoming Techtextil 2026 in Germany and INDEX 2026 in Switzerland, India based speciality nonwoven fabrics manufacturer Sidwin Fabrics will showcase a wide range of innovative functional fabrics. These include single side or double side lamination fabrics and also absorbent one sided lamination fabrics for application in hygiene products.
Soft Spunbond Nonwovens similar to Spunlace in Wet Wipes Segment
“We have also developed a super soft absorbent fabric used for wet wipes which are made from spunbond nonwoven fabrics. Mostly wet wipes are conventionally made from spunlace fabrics. We have also developed a spunmelt fabric in which one side is spunbond and other side is a coating of meltblown fabric, which is also a first time in India. This fabric can be used as industrial wipes to remove grease and oil stains from the hands as one side of the fabric has abrasions which help remove the stains,” Mr Suresh Patel, Director at Sidwin Fabrics explained.
“We are also open to customising our fabrics as per requirements of customers like anti-static fabrics, fire retardant fabrics, hydrophobic and hydrophilic fabrics and fabrics with many other functional properties. We have also recently developed an odour free low VOC fabric” he added.
