Yuzhimu’s unique construction grants it a set of properties that are highly sought after in technical applications:
Flexibility and Conformability: Despite its strength, the fabric remains flexible and can easily conform to complex shapes, making it easy to handle and install.
Primary Applications: Where is Yuzhimu Used?
The versatility of Yuzhimu has led to its adoption in a multitude of sectors:
1. Floor Covering (Carpet Backing):
This is one of the most significant applications. Yuzhimu is primarily used as a primary backing for tufted carpets. The fabric’s precise structure provides an ideal substrate for the carpet tufting needles, while its strength locks the tufts in place. Its stability prevents the carpet from buckling or stretching.
2. Automotive Industry:
Inside modern vehicles, Yuzhimu is everywhere:
Carpet and Trunk Liners: Used as a reinforcing scrim and backing material, providing structure, acoustic damping, and durability.
3. Construction and Geotextiles:
Asphalt Reinforcement: Laid under asphalt roads or parking lots, Yuzhimu fabrics help control cracking and extend the pavement's life by distributing loads.
Soil Stabilization: Used under railways, foundations, and in erosion control, it reinforces weak soils and separates different soil layers to prevent mixing.
Roofing and Tile Underlayment: Acts as a separation and reinforcement membrane.
4. Filtration Applications:
Filtration: Used in certain air and liquid filter applications.
