Domestically produced polyester Spunlaid

One of the standout products we are excited to promote at the exhibition is our domestically produced polyester Spunlaid, specifically designed for automotive applications. These Spunlaid materials boast an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them incredibly lightweight and ideal for various uses, including foam adhesion and support layers. Their versatility shines through in applications such as carpet backing, headliners, and interior trim pieces.

Benefits for customers and consumers

Customers and end consumers can expect significant benefits from Freudenberg´s polyester Spunlaid solutions. The impressive strength-to-weight ratio enables manufacturers to downsize parts without compromising integrity, as less material is required. This reduction leads to shorter production times, enhancing overall efficiency and resulting in substantial cost savings. Additionally, the lightweight nature of these materials allows for innovative designs and applications, demonstrating the positive impact of technology on manufacturing processes.
