Features
Textiles
are used in cars for different purposes. They have multiple uses in the
Automotive Industry. Substantial increase of nonwovens in this industry has
provide a great platform to Interlining manufacturing Industry. The various
features of these material are sound efficiency, light weight,
flexibility, low process and material cost, mould ability, flexibility,
versatility, recyclability and attractive cost performance ratio.
Decrease the weight
According to the
International Nonwovens Association, nonwovens when replacing the traditional
materials reduce the weight of the car by 2 kg. Their use make the car lighter.
As the material itself is 30% lighter than the material it is replacing.
Acoustic Property
The material offer sound
absorption a perfect fit for the Automotive Industry. As almost every textile
has some potential for acoustic function. These textiles are used in many
applications involving acoustics like acoustic control in headliners, in
dashboard insulation, wheel housing etc.
Cost/Performance Ratio
Further with increasingly demand
for cost efficiency from producers, these materials are gaining high market
potential as they seems to appear at the right time at the right place gaining
an edge over wovens in many applications. Like the needle punch nonwovens are
easily mouldable, have great appearance and are cost effective too. They are
replacing rapidly other materials as they are cost effective.
Go Greener
Using non wovens is greener. It
has been well established through the facts that using nonwovens in cars have
30 percent less impact on environment. As environmental problems are a major
issue these days that needed to be resolved. Environmental concerns continues to
grow from governmental groups and leaders to individuals.
Conclusion
To conclude, non woven fabrics are
widely used in Automotive Industry these days, even if the customer driving the
car doesn’t know it. There are as many as 40 types of different applications
where these interlinings are put to use. To be more precise, on an average
there are around 38 yards of fabric that is being installed in every vehicle.
