Driving Performance, Safety & Comfort

In the automotive industry, performance, safety, comfort, and sustainability are essential. WT Burnett manufactures precision-engineered foams and nonwovens to meet these demands and elevate the driving experience. Many of our products are UL-94 HF-1 and UL-94 VO rated and comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 302.

Noise, Vibration & Harshness Control

Our innovative solutions are used in a range of automotive applications—including seating and interior trim—to enhance performance and looks. Foams and nonwovens help create a smoother, quieter ride. We engineer our products to absorb sound, dampen vibration, and enhance comfort where it counts.

01 Engine Compartment Insulation

High-performance foams absorb engine noise and reduce heat transfer for a quieter, more comfortable cabin

02 Underbody Shields

Durable, water-resistant foams and nonwovens guard against road debris and dampen noise while contributing to aerodynamic performance.

03 Dashboard Insulators

Polyurethane foams minimize vibrations and block noise from the engine compartment to enhance acoustic comfort.

04 High Loft Nonwoven Fibers

Designed to elevate vehicle interiors with abrasion resistance, colorfastness, and high Htz acoustical values to match OEM GM’s specifications.

05 Heating & Ventilation Components

Integrate seamlessly with our foams and nonwovens to deliver climate control and passenger comfort, and make the connections air-tight.

06 Headliners

Lightweight, durable ether and ester foams are formulated to be flame laminated to fabric to create headliners with sound absorption and thermal insulation.

07 Door Panels

Contribute to structural integrity while offering sound dampening and a refined, soft-touch feel.

08 Seating

Body cloth and topper pads for comfort.

09 Pillar Trim

Foam-backed materials meet safety standards and provide a clean, finished look.

10 Nonwoven Battery Insulator

UL VO Nonwoven moldable materials for under hood and battery insulator applications.

Other Applications

In addition to interiors, our solutions improve the function and longevity of automotive components.

  • Air Filters

    Our high-performance nonwovens are used in engine and cabin air filters to trap pollutants, ensure clean airflow, and support engine performance and passenger health.

  • Seals & Gaskets

    Our hydrophobic and anti-microbial polyurethane foams help seal out moisture and contaminants for an air-tight seal while reducing noise and vibration for a quieter, more protected ride.
