Lydall Performance Materials, a division of Lydall Inc, announced that it has officially commissioned its new Needled Fiber Product Operation located at its Green Island, New York facility. This investment in growth gives Lydall a new manufacturing capability to enhance its portfolio of high performance appLY Mat needled glass mat products. These products were developed by Lydall to expand its high temperature insulation product offering to serve global Appliance OEMs. This product line is ideally suited for many application areas ranging from premium residential ovens and water heaters to commercial boilers.
The appLY Mat family of insulation products are glass fiber based, with various product categories designed to offer Appliance OEMs a choice of temperature performance at a variety of one-ply thicknesses.

"Establishing this new capability fits well into our strategy to build a diverse technology base to serve existing customers and also expand into markets and applications not currently served," stated Patrick Apfeld, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Lydall Performance Materials.
