AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR
Bananas field Fiberban™

Ecological transition

The automotive sector is undergoing a major transformation, driven by the ecological transition, the electrification of vehicles and the constant search for lighter, safer and more sustainable materials. In this context, Fiberban™ stands out as a disruptive innovation: a natural, fire-resistant, thermal and acoustic insulator made from non-hazardous waste.

Technical performance

Combining technical performance, increased safety and a reduced environmental footprint, Fiberban™ perfectly meets the requirements of the modern automotive sector. It offers an ecological and high-performance alternative to synthetic materials such as fibreglass, rubber or petrochemical-based insulators, thus contributing to the decarbonisation and recyclability of tomorrow's vehicles.

Main properties

  • arrow_rightNatural and environmentally friendly
    Made from recycled non-hazardous waste, Fiberban™ helps to reduce the carbon footprint while recycling previously unused materials.
  • arrow_rightFireproof
    Effectively resists heat and fire, ensuring greater safety in buildings.
  • arrow_rightThermal
    Limits energy loss by providing excellent thermal insulation in both winter and summer.
  • arrow_rightSoundproofing
    Reduces noise pollution, improving the acoustic comfort of interior spaces.
  • arrow_rightNon-toxic and durable
    Unlike asbestos, Fiberban™ is harmless to human health and has a long service life.

Application Areas

  • arrow_rightThermal and acoustic insulation
    • Sound insulation of passenger compartments to reduce road noise, engine noise and vibrations.
    • Thermal insulation of interior walls (floors, doors, engine-passenger compartment partitions) to improve passenger comfort.
    • Protection of engine compartments against heat and fire thanks to the material's natural fire resistance.
    • Reduction of external noise pollution in electric vehicles, where the quiet operation highlights residual noise.
  • arrow_rightSafety and protection of energy systems
    • Insulation and containment of batteries for electric or hybrid vehicles (thermal protection, fire resistance).
    • Protection of fuel tanks and hydrogen or compressed air circuits (thermal stability and sealing).
    • Fire-retardant separation materials in high-voltage electrical modules (reduction of fire or short-circuit risks).
  • arrow_rightComposite materials and technical parts
    • Structural reinforcements for interior panels, floors, dashboards, bonnets and door trim.
    • Manufacture of seals and gaskets (anti-vibration, watertightness, acoustic insulation), replacing rubber or synthetic foam.
    • Biodegradable composite components to reduce weight and facilitate vehicle recycling.
  • arrow_rightBraking and heat dissipation systems
    • Production of brake pads that are more heat-resistant and free of toxic materials (alternative to asbestos).
    • Thermal insulation of brake discs and calipers to limit overheating and improve safety.
  • arrow_rightAutomotive textiles and coatings
    • Carpets, rugs and interior linings with insulating and fire-retardant properties.
    • Technical textiles for seats, seat belts and covers, combining mechanical strength, comfort and safety.
    • Rubber-inspired adhesive or non-slip coatings based on Fiberban™ derivatives.
  • arrow_rightSustainability and eco-design
    • Replacement of petrochemical insulants (foams, polymers, fibreglass) with a natural, recyclable and non-toxic material.
    • Recycling of natural waste for circular production with a low carbon footprint.
    • Reduction in vehicle weight, contributing to lower energy consumption and improved overall efficiency.
