Filc: lightweight materials for vehicle interiors

Filc will present needlepunch nonwovens and laminated materials for automotive applications. A central focus lies on lightweight acoustic materials designed to support noise reduction. These include products for door panels, trunk liners, headliners and wheel arch liners. Within the Finsol range, customers can choose between polyester solutions or variants that incorporate recycled content. For seating applications, Filc offers low emission, low flammability and shape stable nonwovens. FilFlex, made entirely from PET, is available as a recyclable option within this category.

Additional materials for demanding environments

Filc will also highlight abrasion resistant and lightweight nonwovens intended for luggage compartment linings. These materials are suitable for environments with high performance demands and can be configured as fully recyclable solutions. Colour variants, embossing options and easy clean finishes are available for design flexibility.
