Who would not appreciate a protective barrier against urban pollution? Freudenberg Politex Nonwovens has come up with a solution, developing and marketing the first protective padding designed for city life. PolifillŪT3 URBAN is a new nonwoven padding for city garments. It consists of three layers of polyester with a woven copper wire. This combination protects the body against urban pollution; it is also anallergic and has excellent transpiration properties. Wadding for clothing and furniture is the smaller of the two Divisions at Freudenberg Politex Nonwovens. The company’s core business is polyester nonwovens used as reinforcement for bituminous roofing membranes.

Until the end of 2003, Freudenberg Politex Nonwovens was a joint venture between the Italian company Politex and Freudenberg & Co., Weinheim/Germany. At the beginning of 2004, Freudenberg took over all the shares of the company. Freudenberg Politex will continue as a stand-alone Business Group. The company is headquartered in Novedrate, Northern Italy. Other production facilities are located in Pisticci (Southern Italy), Colmar (France), Lodz (Poland) and Macon (Georgia/USA).
