PANOX® crimped staple fibers
Crimped PANOX fibers are made from continuous fiber tow. They are supplied with a special sizing that improves cohesion. Together with a carefully optimized crimp level, this ensures that carding processes run continually and reliably, with good productivity. Crimped staple fibers are available in a range of lengths to suit different non-woven processes and equipment.

PANOX® non-crimped staple fibers
Non-crimped staple fibers are used in compounding and molding applications to provide a textured surface appearance to interior components in automotive, rail, and marine applications. As well as improving the cosmetic appeal of these surfaces, the PANOX fibers also improve the fire protection and chemical resistance of these parts.

PANOX® milled fibers
Milled PANOX fibers are used as a non-hazardous and heat resistant organic fiber filler for brake and friction compounds. These fibers are an excellent alternative to more hazardous materials such as asbestos. Typical applications include automotive brake pads, high-performance motor sport brake pads, brake linings for trains, and friction linings for elevators.
