Follow on Google News | Freudenberg Group offers innovative textiles for the automobile industryBy: Freudenberg “Evolon microfilament textiles are characterized by an ultra-soft and smooth surface. Highly-sensitive surfaces are thereby protected and the smallest scratches and textural indentations avoided,” explains Subhamoy Banerjee, Senior Manager Marketing at Freudenberg Nonwovens India Pvt. Ltd., the Indian company of the Freudenberg Performance Materials, a Freudenberg Business Group. Additionally, C Evolontextile bags are very popular among automobile suppliers for the transport of synthetic molded parts as well as for lacquered or very complex parts. The trick: split microfilaments This application is possible due to the innovative manufacturing process developed by Freudenberg. The unique, patented production process uses a high-pressure water jet to split spun-bonded fibers, producing ultra-thin, endless microfilaments which ensure that the fabrics are soft and supple. At the same time, as a result of the water pressure, the fibers interlock with each other achieving a high degree of density. Such attributes make Evolon particularly suitable for automotive noise reduction. With a minimal thickness of some 0.5 millimeters and a mass of only 100 grams per square meter, Evolon is considerably thinner and lighter than previously used materials. Thanks to the permeability of the enmeshed microfilaments, acoustic noise is very efficiently absorbed. Evolon® acoustic microfilaments are already used in the USA; and they are currently being launched in Europe.
