Drying & Lamination of Interior Automotive Materials
Interior Component Manufacturing
For over 50 years, Taconic has worked with Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive industry by providing specialized belting to create interior components and panels. This application is sometimes referred to as “Fusing” whereby several layers of varied materials are shaped and fused into a finished component.
Taconic’s unique PTFE coated fiberglass fabric belts are used in the forming of automotive headliners (roof liners) and acoustic panels. The special engineered coated belts provide excellent release characteristics and dimensional stability – both traits lead to strong performance and long working life.
Downtime in the automotive industry can be a serious problem. For that reason, Taconic belting has been developed to survive continual heat, pressure, and abrasion to allow our customers to produce more components without a machine shut down and belt replacement.
