ELASTIC TPU MELTBLOWN FABRICS


TRANSFORM YOUR TEXTILES WITH OUR STRETCHABLE & BREATHABLE NONWOVEN FABRICS

                        

GESSNER's elastic meltblown nonwoven materials open up a world of endless possibilities with their incredible versatility. Particularly in the textile industry, our nonwovens meet a multitude of essential characteristics.

Our Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) nonwoven fabric comes with a natural stretching property. With the right polymer selection, it can be stretched up to 500% in both Machine Direction (MD) and Cross Direction (CD). Its impressive recovery capability and retention behavior make it an exceptional choice for various applications.

What sets our meltblown apart is its low melting temperature compared to other raw materials. This allows it to be directly laminated onto other fabrics without needing adhesives. The final fabric lets air pass through and moisture escape, making it highly suitable for linings, especially within the textile industry.

Offered in a wide range of grammages, these nonwovens are available in weights from 30-460g/m² for a perfect fit. Furthermore, our ability to combine up to four layers can eliminate additional production steps and reduce costs for you.

We also provide numerous customization options including fiber diameter, FDA-conformity, haptic surface design, chemical resistance, heat resistance, compostability, UV-Protection, antibacterial properties, colors, electrocharging, and antistatics. Our goal is to cater to your specific needs with utmost precision and efficiency.

 

Sustainable fabrics through recycled raw materials

To ensure more sustainability in textile applications, we also manufacture meltblown nonwoven fabrics from recycled plastics. With unchanged material properties, you can contribute to greater sustainability in a wide variety of applications while reducing your product's carbon footprint and saving ressources.

We offer our standard fabrics made from recycled raw materials, as well as we tailor the textiles to all customer-specific requirements, so you don't have to choose between more sustainable materials and high product quality and performance.

TPU Meltblown Nonwoven Fabrics
Your top questions answered

TPU meltblown nonwoven fabrics provide exceptional stretch (up to 500% in both directions), breathability, and softness. These properties make them ideal for use in performance textiles where flexibility, comfort, and durability are essential - such as in sportswear, footwear linings, and stretchable garment components.

They are commonly used as inner linings or support layers in garments that require elasticity and breathability. Applications include stretch panels in activewear, gloves, and compression garments, where the fabric must conform to body movement while maintaining shape and comfort.

Yes. Their high elasticity and soft-touch surface make them ideal for shoe linings, insoles, and flexible components in gloves, bags, or wearable accessories. The material’s ability to be laminated without adhesives also simplifies integration into multi-layer constructions.

Absolutely. Our TPU meltblown nonwovens can be customized in color, surface texture (haptics), and functional finishes such as UV protection, antibacterial treatment, or antistatic properties - making them suitable for both functional and aesthetic textile applications.

TPU nonwovens are highly durable, abrasion-resistant, and maintain their elasticity even after repeated stretching or washing. This makes them a reliable choice for reusable textile products that require long-term performance and resilience.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) meltblown nonwovens offer exceptional elasticity, softness, and breathability compared to traditional polypropylene or polyester nonwovens. They can stretch up to 500% in both directions and recover their shape without deformation, making them ideal for dynamic applications.

Yes. Thanks to the low melting temperature of TPU, our meltblown nonwovens can be directly laminated onto other substrates using heat, eliminating the need for additional adhesives or bonding agents. This simplifies processing and reduces production steps.

We offer a wide range of customization features, including fiber diameter, grammage (30–460 g/m²), number of layers (up to 4), surface texture, color, antibacterial treatment, UV protection, electrostatic properties, and more. We tailor each solution to your specific performance and regulatory needs.
