PRODUCTS The product range described above is based upon technology that is focussed on four key areas of expertise: Three-dimensional nonwoven textiles provide a base for a broad range of acoustic, thermal, filtration and upholstery materials. DECI-TEX is a range of patented acoustic blankets and textiles that have been designed and developed for critical applications wherever high performance is a key requirement. Optimised performance is a major reason for this success. DECI-TEX acoustic materials are found across most Australian manufactured passenger vehicles, trucks, HVAC systems and commercial interiors. |
 |
AEROTEX 3-D textiles provide performance benefits in filtration through high efficiency and low restriction, while upholstery foam replacements through exceptional load bearing capability, resilience and recovery. RADICAL Pressure sensitive adhesive tapes are based on INC's unique UV-curing adhesive technology, and are rapidly expanding our presence in the high-performance industrial specialty tape market. Moulded automotive components contribute to the interiors of passenger vehicles and heavy trucks in areas such as trunk trim, door ornaments and parcel trays. Both DECI-TEX and AEROTEX textiles are provided in forms that can be moulded for specific purposes. Textile laminates provide interior solutions for automotive and commercial interiors. |
