Technical Felt | Wool Felt
Technical felt is one of the oldest industrial textile materials, made from compressed wool fibers, and in some types of felt, cotton may also be added. Thanks to its excellent mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties, it is widely used in industry. The felt is compressed and treated with steam or high temperatures, making it extremely resistant to abrasion and ensuring long service life.
Main Characteristics of Technical Felt:
- High abrasion resistance: Felt is known for its excellent resistance to abrasion, making it extremely durable for various industrial applications.
- Temperature resistance: It can withstand temperatures from -50°C to +80°C, and up to 120°C for short periods, making it suitable for thermal insulation and use in fluctuating temperature conditions.
- Elasticity: Although highly durable, felt returns to its original shape after bending, ensuring long-term use without loss of properties.
- Versatile processing: It adheres easily to different surfaces and can be precisely cut into desired shapes, allowing easy adaptation to specific needs.
- Acoustic properties: Felt is an excellent sound absorber, making it ideal for sound insulation in industrial and construction applications.
Applications of Technical Felt:
- Seals and technical components: Felt is widely used for manufacturing seals and technical parts in industry.
- Thermal insulation: Felt provides excellent thermal insulation, ideal for heat protection across various industrial sectors.
- Sound absorption: Using felt for sound insulation and absorption helps reduce noise in industrial plants and workspaces.
- Protection and lining: Felt is used to protect and line sensitive surfaces, including glass, plastic, or metal.
- Industrial filtration: Felt is used in industrial filtration, especially for filtering dust, smoke, and other airborne particles.
