Maximum performance
Unparalleled experience
Customers are beginning to make greater demands for quieter automobiles, and because of this, automakers have begun to attack sound inside the passenger compartment with greater ferocity. Thanks to the advanced engineering capabilities of Texel with the ThermoFit™ technology, what used to be thought of as an uncontrollable source of unwanted sound is now fair game in the quest to reduce interior noise. With ThermoFit™, nothing has been left unexplored when it comes to finding new ways to ensure a quieter driving experience.
Moldable nonwoven
ThermoFit™ offers you an unprecedented variety of ways to innovate and deliver greater value. You can explore new ways to reduce interior
noise, thanks to the inherent characteristics of ThermoFit™:
- good mechanical properties
- even at low densities
- permeability
- good acoustical properties
- permanent shape retention
- lighter weight
Mold-to-measure with thermoforming
ThermoFit™ can be thermoformed into pretty much any three-dimensional shape. Simply preheat it, then shape it by applying pressure in a cold mold. Hot air is generally used for preheating, but another option is infrared heaters in a conveyor oven or on a rotary molding table. You can choose to have several different densities when molding. But your options don’t stop there: ThermoFit™ can be laminated with a variety of fabrics, other nonwovens, films and knittings.
Quality and consistent performance ...order after order
In addition to offering products that respond perfectly to your demands, Texel stands out with its high volume production capacity, set in a structure of rigorous quality control processes.
Texel guarantees uniform quality and proven performance consistency for every square meter of its products.
At every level of our business relationship, you will enjoy:
- fast technical assistanceoptimal products
- large inventory, to respond quickly to your requests
- adequate packaging
- timely delivery
Pressure forming technology
When you pressure form ThermoFit™ between male and female mold, you’ll get ideal wall thickness distribution in the cross direction, since it’s not absolutely necessary to stretch the material during such an operation. The material you wish to form should be between 360°F and 420°F (182°C to 215°C), depending on its density and thickness.
