Abstract: A tufted carpet including a tufted primary carpet backing, pile yarns tufted into the primary carpet backing, a secondary carpet backing adjoining to the primary carpet backing on the side of the primary carpet backing which exhibits backstitches and optionally a precoat and/or a polymer coat, wherein the secondary carpet backing including at least a reinforcement layer of fibers and the secondary carpet backing has an air permeability of at least 1000 l/m2·s, measured according to ISO 9237:1995.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an acoustical baffle that has use in vehicle interiors, such as an interior headliner. In particular, the baffle can provide improved acoustics while maintaining a desired airflow resistance and can be configured to provide for different sound attenuation characteristics at selected locations of the baffle construction.
Abstract: The present invention is directed at a relatively high modulus spunbond nonwoven material that is suitable for use in relatively high deep draw molding applications.
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at a moldable layered structure that is particularly suited for vehicular underbody applications. The structure is generally comprised of at least one layer of needled staple polyester fibers and at least one layer of spunbond polyester fibers.
