Seat cover
Seat cover
• Woven seat cover is one of the important
contributors of technical textile in an
automobile.
• With gradual improvement in vehicle
models and increased emphasis on luxury
and comfort, the seat cover market has
witnessed uptrend in the market.
• Seat covers are made from cotton, vinyl,
velvet and leather.
Seat cover
Product Characteristics:
• The fabric used for the manufacturing of seat covers is
woven on looms.
• The desired product characteristics are durability, ultra-
violet fade and wear resistance, water-proofing,
flexibility and stretchability.
• The type of seat cover used varies based on the
automobile model and desired styling of the upholstery.
• The yarn required for the seat covers is in the range of
500 deniers to 1300 deniers.
• The fabric is further laminated to provide desired
protection characteristics.
HELMET
HELMET
Product Characteristics:
Product Characteristics:
• Are made from nylon filament yarn or polyester filament yarn
which is woven to produce the webbing pattern.
• The linear density of man-made yarns must be stuck between
100dtex and 3000dtex, preferably 550-1800dtex.
• A typical seat belt is made of 320 ends of 1,100 dtex polyester
each.
• The majority weft yarns prepared from polyester are 550dtex.
• The critical characteristics of the webbing are:
– Abrasion resistance,
– Resistance to light and heat,
– Capable of being removed and put back in place easily and good
retraction behavior.
– The load bearing capacity of seat belts is 1500 kilograms.
Interior carpets
Interior carpets
Product Characteristics:
• The carpet is laid on the vehicle floor above which rubber mats are placed.
Product characteristics
• The NVH products or insulation felts are
100% polyester non-woven technical textile
products.
• These products are classified based on the
manufacturing process as needle-punched,
phenolic resin bonded and thermoplastic.
• The felts are generally soft and used with or
without harder backing.
Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric
Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric
Product characteristic :
• Nylon 6 grey and dipped tyre cord fabrics
having
– High strength,
– Fatigue resistance,
– Impact resistance,
– High adhesion
• The tyre cords are generally available with the
fabric characteristics of 930dtex, 1400dtex,
1870dtex, 2100dtex.
Headliners
Headliners
• Headliners are used in passenger cars and
multi/sports utility vehicles as non-woven
light weight roofing material.
• The cars were earlier fitted with
knitted/woven fabric with hard cardboard
type of backing.
• The trend has changed and increasingly
non-woven headliners are being used in
vehicles.
Headliners
Product Characteristics
• A headliner is a compound stuff that is ingredient of a face fabric with
nonwoven or foam back up that is stick on to the in the interior roof of

• The majority headliners made of a tricot knit fabric that is knapped to
offer a flexible feel and uniform look.
• The cloth is held fast with melted polyurethane foam.
• This fabric-foam structure is adhered to the inside fiberglass covering
of the automobile.
• Headliners non-woven cloth has GSM varies from 185-220 GSM.
• The desired characteristics of headliners are good sound damping
properties and good aesthetics.
• Usually the headliners are non-woven technical textiles prepared by
polyester staple fibre (PSF) polypropylene or polyurethane core
sprayed among two reinforce sheet.
Conclusions
• Textile Is non seperating Part of automobile
industry.
• Textile is value adding factor for automobile.
• Textile plays the role of brand up gradation.
• Textile has created revolution in automobile
