Wellman International wins Green Awards 2011 May 2011
April of this year saw Wellman become the recipient of the ‘Waste to Business Resource’ Green Award. The purpose of the Green Awards is to recognise excellence in sustainability and to encourage best practice at organisation and individual level. Our entry involved outlining our ‘flake to fibre’ process and was supported by an independent ‘Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)’ study which strongly validates our process and our fibre.

Launch of profile pt at Techtextil 2011 May 2011
The profile pt fibre range are a specialised range of novel shaped fibres which offer greater surface area to weight ratio and therefore enhanced liquid distribution properties. This unique fibre range also demonstrate acoustic insulation properties, with the increased surface area of this particular fibre range allowing the potential for acoustic benefits. Possible end uses of the profile pt range include room partitions, or in applications where acoustic insulation is required. Other areas where the profile fibres have demonstrated specific opportunity are in filtration applications where market interest has been very encouraging.
Wellman launch fillwell® heavy decitex May 2011
Through evolving technical development, Wellman have now expanded their decitex capacity across their fibre range and are now able to produce fibres from between 3.3 decitex to 80 decitex. Applications for which these higher decitex fibres are suitable include abrasives, flooring, specialised bedding applications etc. Market interest in this range has been very positive thus far, with customers seeing this fibre range as a viable alternative to nylon or indeed polypropylene based products.
We listen to our customers, and will work hand in hand with them to find solutions to market challenges, now and in the future. We are committed to expanding the decitex range of many of our smart fibres, developing further diverse functionalities for our current smart fibre ranges and continue to provide novel and innovative products which will enable our customer base to remain at the forefront of the nonwovens industry.
