For over 40 years, DeatexGroup has been developing and manufacturing technical fabrics for air and liquid filtration, serving a wide range of industrial sectors. The goal is to provide high-performance, energy-efficient solutions with an excellent cost-benefit balance.

Quality, efficiency and versatility

Deatex technical fabrics for filtration are designed to meet the most demanding requirements:

• Certified quality: every product comes with detailed technical data sheets
• Accurate lab testing: to support customers’ industry-specific certifications
• Energy efficiency: low air resistance and gradual fluid flow help reduce environmental impact and operating costs
• Customization: high flexibility based on application needs
• Purity and sustainability: mechanical bonding processes (like spunlace) with no chemical binders

One of our solutions: Spunlace Technical Fabric

Spunlace (Hydroentangled Nonwoven) is one of the most versatile and eco-friendly filtration materials in the DeatexGroup range. It is produced through a high-efficiency process using high-pressure water jets to entangle fibers into a uniform structure, without chemical binders.

Fiber blends

A wide range of fiber blends can be created to customize the filter media, such as:

• Synthetic fibers (PES, PP)
• Artificial fibers (viscose, lyocell)
• Natural fibers (cotton, bamboo)

Available from 23 to 200 g/m², spunlace can be produced with parallel or cross-laid web formation and with various degrees of softness or stiffness depending on the final application.

Treatments and certifications

All Deatex fabrics can be treated to enhance specific properties:

• Hydrophobic or hydrophilic
• Oleophobic
• Flame retardant
• UV resistant

Certified by:

• OEKO-TEX Standard 100
• GRS, FSC, PEFC
• REACH, MOCA, Plastic Free compliance
• Compostability (for cellulosic fibers)

Performance and applications

Deatex filtration fabrics offer:

• High tensile strength and controlled permeability
• Optimized absorption and food compatibility
• Biodegradability, where applicable

Spunlace is capable of capturing microscopic particles and is used in:

• Industrial liquid filtration: coolants, water, oil, and process fluids (gravity, pressure or vacuum systems)
• Air filtration: spray booths, electronics, and protective masks
• HVAC filtration: prefilters and primary/secondary filters for ventilation and climate control systems
• Domestic water filtration: removing sediments and unwanted substances
• Filter media support: in automotive filters thanks to its strength and flexibility
• Medical applications: in certified healthcare devices

As the demand for cleaner indoor air grows, spunlace offers an optimal solution to control pollutants, allergens and harmful particles.

Compared to traditional materials, it ensures longer service life, fewer replacements, and lower maintenance costs.

Other filtration materials

Alongside spunlace, DeatexGroup also produces:

• Needle-punched nonwoven
• Waddings for air pre-filtration and filtration
