Headliner Made from Toray's Binder Fiber |
|
|
| Toray, the leading manufacturer of polyester staple fiber in Japan, has developed a binder fiber for automotive headliner applications. This fiber has a sheath/core cross-section with appropriate melting points and excellent dimensional stability. As the whole headliner system can be produced entirely from polyester, it is completely recyclable making Toray's binder fiber an exceptional choice to meet the strict requirements for recycling in the automotive industry. |

Advantages of Toray's Binder Staple Fiber |
|
|
| Outstanding dimensional stability: |
| |
Most binder fibers have a melting point of about 230F (110C). However, Toray's binder fiber designed for headliner applications has a melting point of approximately 320F (160C). As shown in the chart, a higher melting point provides superior adhesive strength. This results in good dimensional stability when headliners are exposed to high temperatures, especially in summer. |
| Recycling: |
| |
Toray's binder fiber is polyester and completely recyclable. |
| Exceptional acoustic properties: |
| |
Toray's binder fiber, when used in headliners, provides advanced sound absorption and sound insulation. |
