Application / Buyer guide
Define the nonwoven application before choosing a treatment.
A surface-treatment result cannot establish a finished product's medical suitability. Define the substrate, treatment objective, final construction and responsible evidence owners before starting a material trial.
- Start with
- Substrate and intended use
- Then define
- Process, test and acceptance criteria
- Request
- Current product-specific evidence
Application illustration; not a test result or proof of product performance.

01 / Project scope
Define what the material needs to do.
For a nonwoven material discussion with DEZEO, begin with the substrate, processing route, intended surface function and test requirements. Product selection depends on the actual project and controlled documents. This guide does not identify a ZEODRY grade as suitable for medical use or make a finished-device performance claim.
This material-evaluation framework is not medical, device, personal-protection, infection-control, sterilization, skin-safety or market-authorization advice. It provides no product approval or grade-specific performance data.
02 / Buyer checklist
Send a brief that supports a useful technical answer.
- 01Nonwoven construction
Material composition, manufacturing process, basis weight, layers and lamination.
- 02Surface objective
The function to be evaluated, sample condition, test method and acceptance criterion.
- 03Downstream operations
Sterilization, printing, bonding, packaging, skin contact or other steps that could change performance.
- 04Finished-product context
Intended use, complete construction and destination market, reviewed by the responsible manufacturer.
- 05Document requirements
Named-product TDS and SDS, project declarations, analytical requirements and document versions.
- 06Evidence ownership
Identify the teams responsible for material trials, finished-product validation, quality and regulatory review.
For current grade information, submit the project context through the controlled document request. A general application guide cannot replace the relevant technical file.
03 / Validation
Keep each conclusion tied to its evidence.
| Evaluation | Agree before testing | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| Material and process | Substrate, treatment purpose, processing window and material-level tests. | Surface treatment establishes all finished-product performance. |
| Finished-product design | Complete structure, lamination, packaging, intended use and actual use conditions. | A single-layer nonwoven result represents the assembled product. |
| Quality and validation | Method suitability, batch control, change management and a validation plan. | One sample demonstrates sustained production performance. |
| Regulation and market | Applicable rules, product claims and the legally responsible organization. | Material-supplier documents replace finished-product approval responsibilities. |
Retain sample identity, document version, method and conditions. A result should not be transferred to another substrate, construction, batch or market without an appropriate review.
04 / Buyer questions
Questions to resolve before selection.
Does a water-repellent finish demonstrate medical barrier performance?
No. Material surface behavior does not establish finished-device performance, infection protection or suitability for a medical use. The final construction and intended use require their own applicable evaluation.
Can supplier TDS and SDS documents establish sterilization or skin-contact safety?
No. A TDS or SDS does not by itself establish finished-product sterilization compatibility or skin-contact safety. Those questions require the relevant evidence and review by the responsible finished-product teams.
Which inputs should a nonwoven buyer send to DEZEO?
Provide composition, basis weight, layers, processing route, surface objective, test conditions, downstream operations, intended use and destination market. Ask for current product-specific documents and agree the scope of any proposed material trial.

Share the construction, end use and evidence need.
Provide the substrate, process, target method and destination market so the relevant document and evaluation route can be identified.
