Technical felt

Wool Felts

Wool felt is a natural technical material manufactured from sheep’s wool fibres. During the felting process, the fibres are compressed and interlocked to form a dense, uniform structure without the need for adhesives or bonding agents.

Thanks to its unique properties, wool felt is widely used across various industries, including mechanical engineering, metalworking, automotive manufacturing, furniture production, glass processing and the manufacture of industrial machinery and technical components.

Wool felts offer good elasticity, abrasion resistance, cushioning properties, vibration absorption and noise reduction. Natural wool fibres also provide greater resistance to elevated temperatures compared to many synthetic felts. Unlike thermoplastic fibres, wool fibres do not melt when exposed to heat. However, the maximum operating temperature depends on the specific application and material properties.

Thickness Density Width Colour Tolerance
2mm – 25mm 0.38g/cm3 1800-2000mm natural beige ±10%
2mm – 20mm 0.36g/cm3 1600mm natural beige ±10%
2mm – 15mm 0.44g/cm3 1400mm natural beige ±10%

Applications of Wool Felts

With a wide selection of thicknesses, densities and hardness levels, wool felts can be tailored to individual technical requirements.

Typical applications include:

  • Felt seals and gaskets – used in machinery, industrial equipment and various mechanical assemblies.

  • Felt pads and protective separators – protecting surfaces against scratches, abrasions and mechanical damage.

  • Felt strips and tapes – used in guide rails, machinery and production lines.

  • Felt discs and polishing wheels – used in polishing processes and surface finishing applications.

  • Cushioning and sound-dampening components – reducing vibrations, noise and direct contact between metal components.

  • Lubricating felt components – used in selected mechanical systems to absorb, retain and distribute oils and lubricants.

  • Protective felt components – protecting machine parts and delicate surfaces during manufacturing processes.

Wool Felts in Various Thicknesses and Densities

At PROFILC, we offer wool felts in a wide range of thicknesses, densities and hardness levels. These parameters have a significant influence on the mechanical properties of the material and its suitability for specific applications.

Lower-density wool felts are generally softer and more flexible, while higher-density felts have a more compact structure and greater hardness.

Detailed technical specifications of our wool felts are presented in the table below.

Wool Felt Cutting and Custom-Made Components

In addition to supplying wool felt in rolls and sheets, we also offer custom manufacturing of finished felt components according to individual customer requirements.

With our in-house production facilities, we provide:

  • Precision cutting of felt seals and gaskets in various shapes and dimensions.

  • Manufacturing of felt pads, discs and sealing rings.

  • Custom cutting of felt strips and tapes.

  • Production of felt sheets and custom-cut components according to technical drawings.

  • Felt cutting using die-cutting tools, CNC cutting machines and laser cutting technology, depending on the material type and project requirements.

Our experience in processing technical felts allows us to manufacture both standard felt components and customised solutions for industrial customers.

Wool Felts – Industrial Supply and Custom Manufacturing

PROFILC specialises in supplying technical felts and manufacturing custom-made felt components for a wide range of industrial applications.

We assist our customers in selecting the appropriate felt thickness, density and hardness for their specific requirements.

We also offer material samples for testing and evaluation, as well as regular production and high-volume orders.
