SAE Felt
We played a key role in the development of national standards for wool felt products used in the automotive industry.  These SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards are still in use today.  Our improved wool felting technology is demonstrated in our PhoenixFelt® products.   They are resilient, durable, consistent, and meet or exceed all SAE Specifications.  PhoenixFelt® has greater tensile strength, higher abrasion resistance, and unsurpassed uniformity with exceptional wicking capabilities and dimensional integrity in humid or even wet environments.

In addition to PhoenixFelt®, we also have advanced fiber processing for a wide array of natural and synthetic fibers ideal for industrial specialty felt applications.
