The trend

‘Sustainability’ is a buzzword that is of great importance, especially in the automotive industry, due to the transformation currently under way. This is a trend to which we intend to and will contribute. New and extended product characteristics, recyclability, environmental awareness and the conservation of resources are the focus of attention. Working alongside our customers and partners, we have succeeded in developing genuine added value to this new generation of products.

The product

Zetaloft+ is a homopolymeric, voluminous and recyclable nonwoven with new acoustic properties. Interesting additional functions can be achieved in the end product thanks to the special arrangement of the fibers and possible thermo-mechanical after-treatments. Depending on the application, foams and other core materials are also replaced. Zetaloft+ is used in different widths and weights of up to 1400 g/m².
