Reimagining the automobile, 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 UltraLink 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 needlepunched, compression-moulded composite materials. They blend homogenously with glass, natural or other synthetic reinforcement fibres.

UltraLink: the innovation continues

Beaulieu’s most recent fibre innovation for the automotive composite industry is the UltraLink fibre family. As the first to offer both MONO and BICO technologies, Beaulieu’s fibres for composites guarantee optimal moulding performance, low shrinkage, and dimensional stability.
