The Silent Hero of Net-Zero Construction
With global green building materials demand projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2030 (Grand View Research), polyester felt is becoming a cornerstone of sustainable architecture. The Edge in Amsterdam, dubbed the world’s smartest building, utilizes advanced polyester felt insulation to achieve 98% energy reuse effectiveness.

Technical Breakthroughs

• Thermal Performance:
  • R-value of 4.2 per inch (ASTM C518), outperforming fiberglass.
  • Phase-change material (PCM) infusion stabilizes indoor temperatures within ±0.5°C.
• Acoustic Excellence:
  • STC 58 rating for office partitions (ASTM E413).
  • Micro-perforated panels absorb 95% of 100-5000Hz noise.

Case Study: Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum Towers
