Automotive industry - high potential market for nonwovens

摘要

The increasing penetration of nonwovens in the automotive sector and their suitability for certain applications (e.g. sound insulation) are highlighted here. Suitable technologies and raw materials for various application areas are discussed. As recyclability is one of the main drivers of the automotive industry, especially in Europe, a deeper insight has been given to natural, renewable resources, and their advantages and downsides have been underlined in comparison with some traditional materials.
