Textile automotive components are currently used as underbonnet insulation, side paneling, ABC parts, carpets, floor mats, steering wheel covers, roof lining, hat rack, air bag, safety belts, door panels, car covers, seat sceletons, etc. In addition they are used in air filters, V-belts, pipes, battery separators, engine components, fan belts, brake pads etc. The increased time spent inside the confined space of a car has produced the need for more pleasant comfortable and relaxed car interiors. Legislation in many countries decrees that by 2006 a weight content of 85 % must be recyclable. In order to satisfy legislative demands, new constructions must be developed whereby troublesome components are replaced by type-specific raw materials. Synthetic fibres offer a great potential for such a solution. The trend for lighter weight tyres using fewer components and lesser material for a given component has been to reduce costs and address environmental concerns by lower usage of fuels. The latest developments show a trend towards improvements in seating comfort. New paths are being explored for ergonomic styling as well as additional thermophysiological styling of components. An optimum balance between design (including touch and colour) and durability must be aimed for.
