Technical felts
Technical felt is also known as industrial felt or pressed felt. It is a durable industrial material widely used in vibration damping, sound insulation, and surface protection. It is extremely strong, flexible, and resistant, making it suitable for a wide range of technical solutions. It provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation and is widely used in the automotive industry, electronics sector, and construction industry. It is available in various thicknesses and densities to meet specific industrial requirements, providing solutions tailored to specific applications. At Power Rubber, we offer precision cutting of technical felt to measure according to customer requirements and application specifics.
What is technical felt and what is it used for?
Technical felt is a high performance material offering applications in many branches of industry. It is characterized by a strong structure that ensures high resistance to mechanical loads. The material is flexible and resistant to stretching, making it ideal for demanding industrial conditions. It is used for sealing, acoustic insulation and protection.
Industrial felt creates an effective seal in machines and equipment. It forms a hermetic barrier that prevents leaks and maintains optimal system performance. It provides acoustic and thermal insulation, effectively reducing noise and improving thermal comfort and working conditions. It is worth mentioning that technical felt is an excellent material for polishing delicate surfaces, ensuring uniform smoothing without scratches. The material is also used for the production of gaskets. Felt gaskets prevent medium leakage, ensuring durable and long term sealing.
Technical felt is available in various thicknesses and densities. At Power Rubber, technical felt is available by the metre and can be cut to any dimension.
What properties does technical felt sold by the metre have?
Technical felt sold by the metre is a material with a dense structure of synthetic or wool fibres bonded under high pressure. It is characterised by high abrasion resistance, resilience and dimensional stability. Thanks to its vibration and sound damping properties, it performs excellently as an insulating, underlay or protective layer in machines, vehicles and industrial equipment. Technical felt sold by the metre is also resistant to deformation and ageing, which ensures its long service life.
In the Power Rubber offer, it is available in various densities, thicknesses and colours, with the possibility of precise cutting to size.
Hard technical felt – where is it used?
Hard technical felt is a dense, compressed material with high resistance to compression and abrasion, used in the mechanical, automotive, furniture and electrical industries. It is applied as a vibration damping layer, anti vibration pad, seal or protective element between metal machine parts. It is distinguished by high dimensional stability and resistance to deformation, which ensures long service life in demanding working conditions. Compared to soft felt, the hard type withstands pressure better and retains its properties for a long time.
At Power Rubber, we offer industrial felt in various thicknesses, with the possibility of precise cutting to size.
Application of hard technical felt:
-
in industrial machines – as a pad damping vibrations and noise,
-
in the automotive industry – for insulation of engine components and protection against vibrations,
-
in furniture manufacturing – under furniture legs and bases, preventing floor scratching,
-
in electrical devices – as an insulator and protective layer,
-
in tool manufacturing – as a polishing and cushioning material
What is underlay technical felt used for?
Underlay technical felt differs from classic technical felt primarily in density and intended use. It has a more compact fibre structure, which allows it to damp vibrations more effectively and stabilise heavier components. It is used as an underlay layer under machines, panels, furniture and industrial equipment in order to reduce noise and vibrations and to protect surfaces from damage. Unlike standard technical felt, which often performs insulating and finishing functions, the underlay variant is designed to operate under load.
Self adhesive technical felt – what is it and how does it work?
Self adhesive technical felt is a material made of synthetic or wool fibres compressed under high pressure and coated with a durable mounting adhesive layer protected by a release liner. It works on the principle of a self adhesive layer – before installation, it is sufficient to remove the protective liner and firmly press the felt onto a cleaned, dry surface. The adhesive is activated by pressure, ensuring stable, long term adhesion even under conditions of vibration and variable temperatures. This felt effectively dampens noise, reduces vibrations and protects surfaces from scratches. It is used in industry, construction, automotive applications and furniture manufacturing.
Self adhesive felt in roll form
Self adhesive felt in roll form is a practical solution for large surfaces – it enables quick and even application without the need for additional adhesives. It is sufficient to unroll a section of the roll, remove the protective liner and apply the felt to the selected surface, pressing firmly to achieve a durable bond. It performs excellently as a damping underlay under machines, furniture or structural components.
At Power Rubber, we also offer cutting of self adhesive felt in rolls to size, in accordance with the individual specification of the customer.
Where to buy technical felt?
Technical felt is a material widely used in industry, automotive applications, construction and furniture manufacturing. It is distinguished by durability, abrasion resistance, excellent acoustic insulation and flexibility. When looking for a place to buy technical felt, it is worth choosing a supplier offering various types and the possibility of adjusting parameters to the needs of the project.
At Power Rubber, various types of technical felts are available:
Needle felt
Needle felt is a durable technical material manufactured by mechanically bonding synthetic fibres using high frequency needles. It is characterised by high resistance to abrasion, chemicals and moisture. It is used in industrial filtration, acoustic insulation and as a sealing and cushioning layer in technical systems. Available in various thicknesses and densities, it ensures long service life and stability in demanding working conditions.
Automotive felt
Automotive felt is a specialised technical material used in vehicles for acoustic insulation, vibration damping and thermal regulation. It effectively reduces cabin noise, minimises vibrations of body components and improves driving comfort. It is characterised by resistance to high temperatures, abrasion, moisture and chemicals. Available in fire resistant and waterproof versions, it ensures long lasting durability in demanding operating conditions.
Self adhesive felt
Self adhesive felt is a practical technical material with a strong adhesive layer, enabling quick installation without additional adhesives. It is used as a protective pad under furniture, a decorative element or a vibration damping layer in industrial applications. It is characterised by durable adhesion, abrasion resistance and an aesthetic finish. Available in various colours, thicknesses and formats, it provides effective surface protection and easy application.
Wool felt
Wool felt is a natural technical material made from pressed wool fibres of high density. It is characterised by excellent thermal and acoustic insulation as well as resistance to moisture and deformation. It is used in seals, insulation, furniture protection and interior arrangements. Biodegradable, flexible and durable, it provides effective cushioning and aesthetic finishing of technical and decorative elements.
We offer felt by the metre, in rolls or sheets, in various densities, thicknesses and colours. We perform precise cutting of felt to size, also in non standard shapes. Thanks to this, each customer can adjust the product to specific applications – from insulation and vibration damping to seals and decorative elements.
