With a history of innovation stemming from companies like BP Amoco and SI Corporation, our Duon® and Synfab® internal construction fabrics include a complete line of tough and lightweight synthetic textiles for automotive applications.  These polypropylene fabrics are needle-punched and nonwoven and are designed to add safety, strength, and durability to car interiors, extending their service life and maintaining long-lasting intergrity.  Duon is a valuable alternative to other automotive fabrics and most are self-extinguishing and 100 percent recyclable. Duon fabrics are also ideal for pattern cutting, sewing, and shaping, and they are primarily designed for seat construction and interior trim applications.

  • Listings – Strips of fabric used to attach upholstery to the frame or molded seat composite, Propex listing fabric creates strong interfaces with ample seam strength, low seam slippage and the tensile strength to hold metal fasteners or staples.
  • Insulator Pads – Propex insulator pad fabric is used to create a buffer between automobile frames and foundations and the upholstery itself.
  • Map Pocket Liner – Propex map pocket liner is a specialized backing designed to support interior map pocket trim fabric.
  • Tie-Downs – Created specifically for special applications, Propex tie-down fabrics are attached to an extruded olefin polymer bead. Similar to Propex listing fabric, it is used to attach upholstery to the frame assembly.
