Reimagining mobility, fibre by fibre
Beaulieu offers a wide range of polypropylene bonding fibres for thermoplastic lightweight composites and car fabrics. Our fibres help car manufacturers and OEMs to meet the ever more challenging requirements for performance, cost-efficiency and sustainability.
PP fibres for lightweight automotive composites
With today’s rush towards greener, sustainable mobility, the automotive industry is under continuous pressure to increase performance and reduce emissions. Car manufacturers and OEMs can rely on Beaulieu’s bonding fibre range to help improve mechanical, thermal and functional properties of the composite while reducing weight.
Beaulieu’s PP fibres for thermoplastic lightweight composites offer the most optimal cost-to-performance ratio in needle punched, compression-moulded composite materials. They blend homogenously with natural, glass, carbon and polyester reinforcement fibres.
UltraLink: the innovation continues
Beaulieu’s most recent fibre innovation for the automotive composite industry is the UltraLink fibre family. Ultralink offers the composite industry the tools to further enhance weight savings by creating an optimal compatibility between reinforcement fibre and PP matrix.
