Abstract

A Headliner Often Is A Composite Material That Is Adhered To The Inside Roof
Of Automobiles. It Typically Consists Of A Face Fabric With Nonwoven Or Foam
Backing. Headliners Consist Of Multilayered Composite Materials That Bring Together
Multiple Functionalities Including The Requested Look, Feel, Stiffness And Heat
Reduction Needed In Cars. A Headliner’s Primary Purpose Is To Cover The Interior
Roofing Of Your Vehicle So That It Matches The Appearance Of The Rest Of The Cabin.
The Headliner Is Also Responsible For Shielding The Passengers Inside The Cabin From
The Intense Heat Conducted By The Roof Of The Car. In This Work, Thermally Bonded
Polyester Nonwoven Include Both Binder And Non-Binder Fibers Was Developed For
Headliner Applications. The Nonwoven Layers Are Provided With Different Percentages
Of Binder Fibers. One Layer Is Provided With 10% To 25% Of Binder Fibers, With The
Remainder Being Non-Binder Fibers. This Layer Is Less Rigid, And Provides Loft And
Thermal Insulation To The Headline
R Material. The Other Layer Is Provided With A Greater Percentage Of Binder
Fibers, And Preferably 50% Binder Fibers. This Layer Provides Structure And Rigidity To
The Headliner Material. The Main Aim Is To Study The Effect Of Binder Fibers And
Contact Time On The Properties Of Recycled Polyester Thermal Bonded Nonwoven And
To Study The Thermal Insulation Characteristics Of The Innovative Headliners.
