The Courtaulds, UK, Genesis solvent spun cellulose process was not developed primarily for nonwovens production, but the company is emphasing how the process fits well with thermal bonding, hydroentanglement and latex bonding nonwovens technology. Courtaulds states that more possibilities of developing special fibres for nonwovens do exist.
