Innovation
Engineering the web before it is made.
New substrates start as a brief and end as a qualified production lot. In between is one line — carding, thermal bonding, and lamination — and a lab that measures every run.
Process capabilities
Four stations on one line.
Fiber is carded, bonded with heat, laminated when the construction calls for it, then slit and wound. Nothing is handed to a second forming process.
P01
Carding
Staple fiber opened, blended, and carded into a web at the specified basis weight.
P02
Thermal bonding
Heat bonds the carded web. The bond is part of the specification, not a default.
P03
Lamination
The carded web bonded to a film, scrim, or second sheet and wound as one roll.
P04
Slitting and winding
Finished rolls slit and wound to the converting line.
Development path
Brief to supply in five steps.
Each step has an owner and a document. Nothing moves to production until the trial roll has run on your line and passed your test.
01
Brief
End use, the layer the web occupies, and the test the finished good is bought against.
02
Design
Fiber, basis weight, thermal bond, finish, and whether the roll is laminated.
03
Trial roll
A sample run on agreed width, core, and length, for measurement on your line.
04
Qualification
Measured results reviewed against targets until the web runs and passes.
05
Supply
Production lots held to the qualified targets, every roll traced to its run.
Quality laboratory
Measured to a named method.
Every property in a Syntex specification is tied to a standard test. Results are recorded against the production run, and each roll carries its lot number back to them.
| Property | Method |
|---|---|
| Basis weight | ASTM D3776 · ISO 9073-1 |
| Thickness | ISO 9073-2 |
| Tensile strength | ISO 9073-3 · ASTM D5035 |
| Air permeability | ASTM D737 |
| Hydrostatic head | AATCC 127 |
| Liquid strike-through | ISO 9073-8 |
| Grab tensile (geotextile) | ASTM D4632 |
| Permittivity | ASTM D4491 |
| Apparent opening size | ASTM D4751 |
| Laminate bond | T-peel, method agreed per program |
| Interior flammability | FMVSS 302 |
Methods are agreed per program. Finished-goods ratings such as MERV, AAMI levels, or project geotextile tables are certified by the product owner; Syntex supplies the substrate data behind them.
