Freudenberg Performance Materials will introduce its advanced foam replacements to the American market and showcase domestically produced spunlaid solutions at this week’s FOAM Expo in Novi, Michigan (June 24-26^th).

These solutions reflect the company’s response to the future needs of the industry and their impact can already be seen in various applications including automotive interiors and building and construction, where performance and reliability are paramount.

As foam replacements, Freudenberg’s engineered nonwovens are characterised by their lightweight nature combined with enhanced air permeability as a result of their unique vertically oriented fibre structure. This not only optimises performance but also contributes to overall efficiency.

In addition, by simplifying the thermal forming process for customers, Freudenberg is not only enhancing operational efficiency but also enabling a broader range of industries to adopt sustainable practices without compromising on quality. This highlights the impact of technology on the future of manufacturing and production methods and the potential for continuous improvement in sustainability.

Freudenberg’s domestically produced polyester spunlaid nonwovens have an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them incredibly lightweight and ideal for various uses, including foam adhesion and support layers. Their versatility is prized in applications such as carpet backing, headliners and interior trim pieces.

The impressive strength-to-weight ratio enables manufacturers to downsize parts without compromising integrity, leading to shorter production times, enhancing overall efficiency and resulting in substantial cost savings. Additionally, the lightweight nature of these materials allows for new designs and applications.
