Nonwovens for vehicle protection
Underbody shields
Our portfolio provides automotive manufacturers with nonwovens that reliably support the car’s underbody shield. These lightweight materials offer excellent acoustic and technical properties. They also can be customized – for example, to achieve greater stiffness. Passengers benefit from the sound-absorbing qualities of the nonwovens. Developed using our proprietary technology, these materials are also easy to process.
Wheel arch liners
Wheel arch liners must resist harsh conditions and provide dependable sound insulation. Our solutions deliver optimal protection and design flexibility while supporting improved material recovery at end-of-life through mono-material configurations. Selected variants incorporate recycled PET fibers, ensuring resource-conscious design without compromising performance.
Recyclability and recycled content apply only to selected configurations and depend on regional waste management infrastructure. Supporting documentation is available upon request.
