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.
