NONWOVEN TEXTILES

Textiles engineered for comfort, compliance, and durability—integrated into bedding systems and built to enhance and protect nearly every part of the vehicle

PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN NONWOVENS

Our nonwoven textiles are available in two performance-driven constructions. High Loft delivers comfort and support, ideal for bedding systems; while Needlepunch offers strength, stability, and lightweight performance for automotive applications.
NEEDLEPUNCH

Underbody Shields

Engineered for longevity and performance, this solution is 35% lighter than traditional materials while retaining its form for the life of the vehicle. It resists snapping under high speeds, meets OEM flame resistance standards, improves cabin acoustics, and incorporates 60% recycled polyester in a durable, lightweight build.

Wheel Wells

Delivering lightweight durability, superior acoustics, and enhanced protection for automotive wheel wells. These materials reduce moisture absorption and prevent ice attachment, minimizing road noise while guarding against rock impact and extreme temperatures—all with up to 65% recycled content.

Cargo Liner

Durable, lightweight, and easy to maintain, our nonwoven cargo liners deliver long-lasting protection for trunks, load floors, flipper panels, and deck sides. With aesthetic options like high-temp carving, etching, digital printing, and flat felts, they bring a refined, custom look to any interior.

Seat Backs and Trims

Our textiles for seat backs, trim, and door panels integrate proprietary fiber blends, composite layers, and tunable NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance. The result is a range of durable, attractive products that are up to 30% lighter than traditional materials.

HIGH LOFT

Comfort Layers with Loftec™ Technology

Soft, breathable, and performance-driven, these comfort layers enhance airflow, cooling, and moisture control while improving top panel aesthetics. A smart alternative to quilt foam, they deliver elevated comfort with cost-efficient performance for bedding systems built to feel better and function longer.

HIGH LOFT

Fiber Board

Functions as a foundation insulator pad, cushioning contact points between steel and wood. Positioned above the spring unit in innerspring and hybrid mattresses, it’s a cost-effective alternative to foam that adds structure and increases overall mattress thickness.

HIGH LOFT

FR High Loft

A rayon blend with superior loft retention, High Loft offers flame resistance built into the fiber—never added topically. It delivers high char strength and meets regulatory requirements at a lower weight than comparable products.

Flame Resistance

Our FR technologies start at the fiber level and are never applied topically, so mattress performance won’t wash out or wear off. That means lasting protection you can count on.
