Some of the materials can be used for motorbike seats, horse saddles, bags, clothes, raincoats, and many other products.
PU Foam Production
The production of foam can result in many types of final products with different options in: density, hardness, colour, flammability, foam cell size, etc. These materials can be used for the following industries: automotive (seat covers, door panels, armrests, etc.), furniture, and aviation but the company can also produce technical foams (eg. acoustic insulation, shock insulation, etc.). The procedure of foam production includes: formulation, raw material mixing, slab block moulding, foam cutting to the required thickness, 3D Cutting.
Lamination
Autostop offers a wide range of lamination options on different types of materials, such as: leather, artificial leather (PVC, PU), fabrics (Woven Fabric), knitted fabrics, foams, membranes and films. These materials can be laminated through with powder glue, wet glue lamination and flame lamination. The key characteristics of a good lamination are: delamination force, lamination resistance to temperature, etc.
Bio and Renewable
The company’s Materials Research and Development laboratories are looking into the future. Biobased and Renewable Carbon materials are being designed by state-of-the-art technologies and expertise: biobased artificial leather, renewable carbon based materials, recycled feedstock artificial leather.
