Automotive

Airbag fabric HQN 20 is one of those products you'd rather never see. But if you ever do, you'll be grateful for the care and attention that has gone into its manufacture making it amongst the safest and most dependable in its class.

In the fast-moving automotive industry, nothing matters more than a manufacturer who really cares that they get it right. Whether it's lightweight airbag components or flame, oil and water repellent fabrics, we're responding to our automotive customers' tough problems with innovative solutions they know they can depend on.

Dimensionally stable fabrics

When creating complex shaped components for vehicle interiors, our fabrics critically follow the contour of the mould without rupturing.

In-car acoustics

Low-air permeable, lightweight fabrics for superior acoustics.

Airbags

Our fabrics have the benefit of being light and flexible enough to be folded into a very small space, ideal for the construction of airbags. More importantly our fabric is a unique lining component, which prevents the bag from sticking to itself and hindering inflation.

Interior Linings

With an increasingly large array of colours available for the interior of cars, it is becoming more and more important for the Nonwoven liner to remain undetectable. Hence the liner is generally, although not exclusively, dyed charcoal to prevent colour strike through.

Flame, oil and water repellent fabrics

In engine bay applications, such as acoustic pads or heat shields, it is vital that the fabric not only repels oil and water, but is also resistant to fire. All these features can be engineered into our Nonwoven fabric.

Fusible coatings

During the lamination of acoustic components, the fusing system can be engineered to match components with other specific needs such as flame retardancy.
