V-LAP headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, will unveil the latest enhancements to its vertical lapping system for nonwovens at ITMA 2015 in Milan from November 12-18. The system has rapidly gained a leading position in a number of markets – most notably automotive and bedding.
V-LAP materials have bulk and an almost spring-like feel and appearance, but with less overall weight, due to the vertical orientation of the fibres in their structures.
Their initial success has been in the automotive industry and some of the world’s largest Tier One automotive companies are now using the technology to produce parcel shelves, headliners, bonnet protectors, dashboards, components for driver and passenger doors and wheel arch liners. Car brands employing them include BMW, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Mitsubishi and Toyota.
