Nonwoven materials have become widely used in the automotive industry in recent years, playing a key role in the production of various components such as carpets, filters, and liners.

The use of nonwovens in automotive manufacturing offers several benefits, including reduced overall vehicle weight, enhanced comfort, and increased durability. Certain types of nonwovens are resistant to heat and abrasion, contributing to the safety, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of vehicles during production. These features make nonwoven materials indispensable for modern automotive design.

Beyond automobiles, nonwovens are also actively employed in the production of other transportation vehicles, including boats, airplanes, trains, and even spacecraft and satellites. Their versatility and durability make them essential across a broad range of applications.

The key nonwoven technologies used in automotive and transportation applications include:

• Drylaid
• Spunlaid
• Meltblown
• Needlepunching
• Thermobonding
• Hydroentanglement

These technologies ensure that nonwoven materials meet the high performance and safety standards required in the automotive and transportation industries.
