The Nonwovens Institute

The Fiber and Filament Extrusion Fundamentals Short Course provides attendees an understanding of the critical variables and process parameters required to optimize extrusion processes for meltblown, spunbond and select staple carded nonwovens. Important aspects covered in this course include techniques for effectively spinning biopolymers and incorporating sustainable material options into the extrusion practice. Upon completing…

The Meltblown Technology Short Course combines classroom learning with hands-on activities in NWI’s state-of-the-art fabrication and testing labs to provide attendees a fundamental understanding of the process of forming meltblown webs. The course focuses on the importance of controlling structure-property-process relationships to optimize meltblown materials for the requirements of the application. The course will cover…

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 INDA…
