Editor Nick Butler selects his highlights among the exhibits that readers can find in Milan, Italy, during ITMA 2015 (12–19 November), with a preview of the latest developments for finishing, converting, and coating and laminating. 

The advantages of polyester-based nonwovens in a range of filter media are driving significant investments in production capacity and in the development of innovative materials. Adrian Wilson reports on the recent activities of the industry’s big names.

Ian Holme visited Ghent, Belgium, listened to the debates at the 8^th European Coating Congress (3–4 September 2015) and learned what its delegates see as the opportunities for and threats to the coating and laminating industry.

Suppliers of key technologies for nonwovens – including Dilo, Andritz and Oerlikon Neumag – will stress the opportunities for high-performance applications during ITMA 2015 (to be held in Milan, Italy, 12–19 November), reports Adrian Wilson.

A breakthrough spinning system patented by Lorica International offers the prospect of step changes in the performance of inherently flame-resistant fibres and fabrics, according to the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark Zwerenz. 

A German company has developed an improved  method of coating the guiding parts and surfaces of filament processing machinery in order to decrease the damage and breakage to high-performance fibres, reports Nick Butler.
