Summary Of Properties Of Main Fabric Used In Automotive

Fabric Advantages Disadvantages Major Applications

PolyesterHigh abrasion, Good UV resistance, Relatively

inexpensive

Low moisture absorbancy, Uncomfortable seats in

summer, Limited compressed resilience –

not used in tufted carpets

Seat cover fabric, Interior trim face material, Carpets

(needle punched, Functional non-woven

applications, Seat belts, Tyre cords

Polyamide 6 and 66

Good resilience and elasticity recovery, Good thermal absorption (for

airbags)

UV resistance poor unless stabilized

Airbags, Carpets (tufted), Tyre cords

Polypropylene Inexpensive, LightweightColouration limited, Low

melting point, Low moisture absorbency

Interior trim face material (not seats), Carpets (needlepunched),

Functional non-woven applications

Acrylic High UV resistance, Soft handle Moderate abrasion Car roofs

Wool Comfortable Resilient Relatively expensive, Low resistance to UV

Seat cover fabric in luxury cars
