Commercial Applications and Advantages of V-Lap.
The following areas of use apply to Vertically Lapped products.
i. Under floor insulation. ii. Engine area insulation. iii. Firewall insulation. iv. Under carpet insulation. v. Seat foam replacements. vi. Door panel insulation. vii. Roof insulation. viii. Headliners. ix. Trunk trim all areas. x. Rear parcel tray insulation.

Basically all areas of the vehicle where Sound insulation is important.
Vertically lapped products can be truly designed to deaden particular type of sound thus making them MUCH lighter in weight.
They are recyclable.
Not affected by oil or water.
Have no smell.
Have no fogging problems in use.
Have no Fiberglass or other hazardous to worker materials when fitting in the car.
i. For pre-filters in air or liquid applications.
ii. For air filters in such as home air conditioning.
iii. For industrial air conditioning.
iv. For silencing of industrial air filters and air con units.
For filtration vertically lapped materials have the following advantages;
Controllable pressure drop by design of use of denier, web weight etc.
Control of Efficiency by the same means
3 times higher dust holding capacity compared to Crosslaid products.
i. Foam seating replacement.
ii. Mattress pad replacement.
iii. Complete mattresses using a variety of densities.
iv. Fireproofing of mattress and seats.
v. Aircraft – lightweight fire retardant seats.
There are also many other areas of sound and heat insulation, fire retardant structures and technical structures. This depends on the development by individual companies and industries.
THE STRUCTURE IS DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL NONWOVENS IN MANY WAYS AS BELOW
1. THE FIBERS ARE IN A TRUE VERTICAL AND NOT HORIZONTAL PLANE
2. THIS GIVES EXCELLENT RESILIENCE TO COMPRESSION
3. THE STRUCTURES HAVE SUPERIOR RECOVERY AFTER COMPRESSION
4. VERTICAL LAPPING SAVES FIBER OVER OTHER PROCESSES
5. VERTICAL LAPPING IS A SIMPLE OVERALL SYSTEM
6. THE PROCESS IS VERY EASILY CONTROLLED IN ALL PRODUCT RANGES
7. THE PRODUCTS ARE PRECISELY REPEATABLE EVERY TIME
8. END PRODUCT VARIATIONS ARE MINIMAL
9. THE RANGE OF PRODUCTS ON ONE MACHINE IS UNBEATABLE
10. THE STRUCTURE IS AN EXCELLENT BASE FOR MANY END PRODUCTS
