PET Felt
With a look and feel reminiscent of felted wool, Form Fleece is a highly moldable PET fiber capable of forming complex, 3-D shapes. In addition to its warm texture, Molded felt offers both sound-absorbing and light-weight qualities that make it well suited for furniture, lighting, architecture, transportation, and other applications.

Molded PET
felt Attributes
PET felt is a polyester and bico fiber blend, needle-punched into a nonwoven mat, customizable for color, acoustics, reflectivity, and fire safety.
Complex Curvature
Can be bent or curved in multiple directions, creating compound surfaces.
Can take shapes significantly deeper than its width or diameter.
Deep-Draw Shapes
Sound Absorption
Naturally reduces sound waves by trapping and dissipating acoustic energy.
Light Weight
Low in mass per unit area, while maintaining tensile strength and durability.
Texture, pattern, and designs can be directly formed into Form Fleece during the molding process.
In-Mold Patterning
Durability
Can withstand stresses without significant loss of performance or structure.
Recycled & Recycable
Form Fleece moldable felt begins and ends as a recycled material. It starts as discarded PET bottles—cleaned, shredded, melted, and spun into the fibers of the mats we mold. At the end of its life, Form Fleece can be recycled again, starting the cycle anew. A truly sustainable story.
Molded PET Felt
Manufacturing
Form Fleece molded parts are made through a multi-step process combining automation and manual operations, producing durable, precisely shaped parts with excellent finish and integrity.
Cutting
PET felt rolls, custom-blended for color and performance, are automatically cut into molding-size mats at production start.
Heating
Mats are heated in ovens to activate bico fibers; once melted, they’re ready for precise molding.
Molding
Heated mats go into an open mold, are pressed and cooled, then the mold opens and the finished part is removed.
Trimming
Final trimming removes excess material, either as an in-mold pinch trim or by CNC two-head waterjet cutting.
