Key benefits of Eco-Technilin solutions

Eco Technilin

Mechanical Performance

Our materials offer exceptional specific stiffness. When integrated into composite parts, they provide the performance required for demanding automotive environments.

  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Outperforming traditional plastics in rigidity.
  • Crash Behavior: Excellent energy absorption and non-brittle fracturing, offering passenger safety.
Eco Technilin

Lightweight Engineering

Weight reduction is the most effective way to extend the range of EVs and reduce the CO2 emissions of ICE vehicles.

  • Mass Reduction: Our solutions are significantly lighter than full plastic based parts.
  • Efficiency: Achieve up to a 25–35% weight saving on interior panels, door inserts, and parcel shelves.

Acoustics & Vibration Damping

We design unique materials that offer excellent sound absorption properties, leading to a quiet cabin and enhancing the premium feel of the vehicle.

Eco Technilin
  • High sound absorption: Surpasses traditional synthetic materials in terms of noise and unwanted frequency attenuation.

     

  • Vibration damping: Excellent ability to dissipate mechanical energy and reduce vibration transmission, ensuring passenger comfort.

Sustainability & Circularity

The interior of a vehicle is a living space. Eco-Technilin enhances the in-car experience with the tactile and visual excellence of its materials.

Eco Technilin
  • Low Carbon Footprint: Natural fiber bio-based fibers (carbon-sequestering crops that require no irrigation and minimal pesticides), and recycled fibers.
  • Eco-Design: Our materials are compatible with recycled and recyclable thermoplastic binders.
  • Circular economy: Ecotechnilin developed the RECYTAL technology that allow Automotive Tier 1’s to recycled its scraps of production into new materials (more details in our innovation page).
     

User comfort & Aesthetics

The interior of a vehicle is a living space. Eco-Technilin enhances the in-car experience through tactile and visual excellence.

Eco Technilin
  • Thermal & Acoustic Comfort: Our solutions provide better insulation, maintaining optimal confort in car interior.
  • Healthy Interiors: Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for improved air quality.
  • Unique Natural Design: Ecotechnilin developed LINSTETIK technology that offers a "unique natural" aesthetic that resonates with modern, eco-conscious consumers (more details in our Innovation page).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do natural fiber composites contribute to vehicle lightweighting?

Flax, hemp or kenaf fiber reinforcements combined with a polypropylene matrix enable the production of automotive parts lighter than their fiberglass equivalents, without compromising stiffness or resistance. The resulting weight reduction directly contributes to lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions — a key challenge for automotive manufacturers.

Which automotive parts can be manufactured using EcoTechnilin's bio-based composite materials?

EcoTechnilin's materials are suitable for manufacturing many interior and structural components: door panels, rear shelves, trunk linings, floors and consoles. These natural composites meet the technical requirements of automotive suppliers (Tier 1 & Tier 2) in terms of performance, weight and durability.

Are natural fibers compliant with the normative requirements of the automotive industry?

Yes. EcoTechnilin develops its composite materials to meet the stringent qualification standards of the automotive industry. Flax and PP-based composites undergo rigorous testing (tensile, flexural, impact, thermal resistance) to ensure compliance with the specifications of European and international manufacturers and suppliers.
