Abstract

This paper describes the technology of perpendicular-laid nonwovens STRUTO and some properties of the textiles. The textile~ show improved quality as thermo--insulating materials in automotive industry. The quality of tested fabrics has been studied in terms of thermal properties. i.e., thermal conductivity (λ) • and thermal resistance ( r ); compressional properties, i.e., compressive rigidity and/or elastic recovery; and blend ratio. The results indicated that high thermal resistance, low thermal conductivity, and high elastic resilience recovery can be achieved using STRUTO technology and fibers of different fineness and/or different blend ratio. The fiber arrangement in textiles influences their compressive behaviour to a considerable extent. Compressive rigidity is; higher if the directions of fibers and the load are the same.
