Recycled polyester fiber brings innovation and sustainability to the automotive industry.
Recycled polyester fiber brings innovation and sustainability to the automotive industry.
Its durability and resistance make it the ideal choice for door panels, roofs, seats and thermal and acoustic insulation systems, improving the comfort and experience of each trip. What’s more, its ability to resist fading and sun exposure ensures that interiors retain their appeal for longer. It also plays an important role in thermal and acoustic insulation systems.
Recycled polyester staple fiber for the automotive industry
In the automotive industry, recycled polyester staple fiber (PSF) has consolidated its place as an innovative, sustainable and high-performance solution for a wide variety of applications. This material, made from recycled polyester, is a key component in the design and production of automotive interiors, thanks to its versatility and ability to meet the strict technical and environmental standards of the sector.
Types of recycled polyester staple fiber for use in the automotive industry
The types of PSF most commonly used in the automotive industry vary depending on the specific needs of each application. They include:
SOLID FIBER
Affords greater density and resistance, ideal for high-wear surfaces, such as mats and floor coverings.
HOLLOW FIBER
Perfect for applications where thermal and acoustic insulation is required.
Its hollow structure retains air, making it ideal for light and shock absorbing fillings.
Treatments
These are some of the most requested treatments for fibers in the automotive industry:
SILICONISED FIBERS
• Coated with silicone to improve softness and flexibility.
• Used in applications where comfort is a priority, such as seat fillings.
ANTISTATIC FIBERS
• Specially designed to prevent electrostatic charge accumulation.
• Applied in coatings of technical areas and electrical components.
Applications in the automotive industry
Recycled polyester staple fiber plays an essential role in different parts of the vehicle, contributing to both functionality and design:
Advantages of recycled polyester staple fiber
The use of recycled PSF in the automotive industry not only improves vehicle performance, but it also boosts the industry’s commitment to sustainability.
Sustainability
Made from recycled materials such as PET bottles or trays, it makes a significant contribution to the circular economy and the reduction of plastic waste.
Lightness
Reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, improving fuel efficiency and reducing CO₂ emissions.
Strength and durability
Reduces wear and tear, impacts and extreme temperature and humidity conditions, lengthening the working life of the components.
Acoustic and thermal properties
Helps minimise noise and regulate interior temperature, improving the driver and passenger experience.
Hypoallergenic and safe
Its synthetic composition makes it resistant to the growth of moulds, bacteria and mites, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.
Adaptability
Easy to mould and combine with other materials, it is ideal for custom and complex designs.
