The Nonwovens Institute

The Meltblown Technology Short Course provides attendees a fundamental understanding of the process of forming meltblown webs and offers guidance on how to control structure-property-process relationships to optimize meltblown materials based on the requirements of the application. Upon completing the course, attendees will have a comprehensive grasp on meltblown nonwoven production processes, including raw material…

The Spunbond Technology Short Course provides attendees a fundamental understanding of the process of forming spunbond webs and offers guidance on how to control structure-property-process relationships to optimize spunbond materials based on the requirements of the application. Upon completing the course, attendees will have a comprehensive grasp on spunbond nonwoven production processes, including raw material…

The Intermediate Nonwovens Short Course provides attendees with a generalized overview of nonwoven production processes and end-product applications. The course covers the fundamental chemical and physical make up of nonwovens, the properties of materials used in making nonwovens, and the manufacturing processes used to produce nonwovens. This course offers a balance of in-the-classroom learning at…

The Nonwoven Fabric Property Development and Characterization Short Course provides attendees a fundamental understanding of polymer properties, fiber properties, fabric properties and product-specific properties, with a product exemplar to show how each of these properties influence success in a real-world scenario. This course is designed to be accessible and valuable to both those who are…

The Fiber and Filament Extrusion Fundamentals Short Course provides attendees a fundamental understanding of the critical variables and process parameters required to optimize extrusion processes for meltblown, spunbond and carded staple-fiber nonwovens. This course is designed to be accessible and valuable to both those who are new to the field and/or come from a non-technical…
