Trützschler Nonwovens’ air‑through bonding (ATB) is a versatile process technology for the production of technical nonwovens and premium hygiene products. In applications such as waddings and insulation materials, ATB enables voluminous, uniformly bonded nonwovens with stable loft and high resilience.

Our ATB technology has set industry benchmarks in high‑end hygiene applications, processing ultra‑fine sheath–core bicomponent fibers down to 0.4 dtex. This delivers exceptional softness combined with controlled liquid management, making ATB‑bonded nonwovens ideal for premium baby diaper components such as topsheets, backsheets and ADL layers.

The ATB line integrates T‑BLEND fiber preparation and the NC‑X card, ensuring gentle fiber handling, precise fiber alignment and minimal nep formation – essential for stable high‑speed processing of sub‑1 dtex fibers.

In China, the world’s largest baby hygiene market, Trützschler holds a leading ATB position with over 90% market share and more than 100 installed cards.
