By combining advanced manufacturing capabilities, rigorous quality standards, and a collaborative approach, we help customers identify the right nonwoven solutions while maintaining reliability, production flexibility, and cost efficiency. From material selection through commercial production, ATEX is committed to delivering innovative nonwoven solutions that meet evolving market demands.
ATEX manufactures spunbond, meltblown, and composite nonwoven solutions engineered to meet the performance requirements of diverse markets and applications.
Spunbond nonwovens are produced by extruding continuous polymer filaments that are drawn, laid into a web, and thermally bonded. These materials offer excellent strength, durability, and uniformity, making them ideal for hygiene, medical, packaging, construction, and industrial applications.
High-quality polymer resin is fed into the extruder.
Resin is melted, mixed, and extruded through a spinneret. Filters remove contaminants for consistent quality.
Molten polymer is extruded through spinneret holes to form continuous filaments.
High-velocity air draws and cools the filaments, solidifying them and developing the desired properties.
Filaments are laid down on a moving conveyor to form a uniform, random web.
The web is thermally bonded through calendar rolls to impart strength, integrity, and durability.
The bonded web is wound into large parent rolls and inspected to ensure quality.
Rolls are packaged, labeled, and prepared for shipment to our customers.
Meltblown nonwovens are manufactured using fine microfibers created through high-velocity air streams. The resulting material provides exceptional filtration efficiency, absorbency, and barrier properties, making it suitable for filtration, medical, and specialty applications.
Polymer resin is fed into the extruder.
Resin is melted, mixed, and extruded through a precision metering pump to ensure consistent flow.
Molten polymer is extruded through micron-sized orifices to form ultra-fine filaments.
High-velocity, heated air stretches the filaments and attenuates them into microfibers while cooling as they are drawn.
Microfibers are laid down on a moving conveyor to form a uniform, random fiber web.
The web is thermally bonded through calendar rolls to impart strength and integrity.
The bonded web is wound into large parent rolls and inspected to ensure quality.
Rolls are packaged, labeled, and prepared for shipment to our customers.
By combining spunbond and meltblown layers, ATEX creates engineered composite structures that balance strength, softness, filtration performance, and barrier protection. These customized solutions are designed to meet the unique requirements of each application.
High-quality polymer resins are fed into the extruder.
Resin is melted, mixed, and extruded through a precision metering pump to ensure consistent flow.
Molten polymer is extruded through fine orifices using high-velocity hot air to produce ultra-fine microfibers.
High-velocity, heated air stretches the fibers and attenuates them into microfibers while cooling as they are drawn.
Meltblown web is combined with outer layers (spunbond, carded, or other materials) to build the composite structure.
The composite is thermally bonded and calendered to improve strength, integrity, and performance.
The finished composite is wound into large parent rolls and inspected for quality.
The composite is slit to customer-specified widths and rewound onto smaller rolls.
Every successful product begins with a clear understanding of customer needs. ATEX works closely with customers from application review and material selection through commercial production and ongoing technical support.
Whether a customer requires a proven existing material or an application-specific manufacturing solution, our team works closely to identify the best manufacturing approach. Through technical expertise, laboratory testing, manufacturing excellence, and continuous support, we help customers successfully transition high-performing nonwoven materials into commercial production.
We start by understanding your application, performance targets, and processing requirements.
Our team identifies proven materials or defines an application-specific manufacturing approach.
Samples are validated through rigorous laboratory testing and performance analysis.
Manufacturing excellence ensures a smooth transition to reliable, high-volume production.
Continuous technical support helps optimize performance long after launch.
At ATEX, we believe material performance should be measured by more than peak tensile strength alone. While maximum load is important, a material’s ability to absorb energy and resist failure under stress is often a better indicator of real-world performance.
