Natural wool felts used in the footwear industry to enhance thermal insulation properties and provide optimal vapor permeability.
Technical Specifications
Product description
Properties
WoolFelt is a line of wool felts manufactured using mechanical needle-punching technology. The material features the ability to support thermoregulation, high hygroscopicity, and persistent fiber elasticity. As a raw material of natural origin, it is fully biodegradable.
Applications
In the footwear industry, WoolFelt nonwovens are used to enhance the thermal insulation parameters of footwear. They create a barrier against low temperatures while ensuring vapor permeability and moisture wicking away from the foot. The structure of needle-punched wool exhibits high resistance to long-term compression and mechanical deformation, allowing the footwear to maintain constant insulating properties over time.
