Lightweight Suspension Fabrics for Automotive & Transportation Seating
Quantum engineers lightweight, high-performance suspension fabrics for automotive and transportation seating systems. Our B-surface fabrics replace heavier components while meeting strict durability, safety, and comfort requirements demanded by OEMs and Tier suppliers.
Automotive Applications
- Automotive seat suspension systems
- B-surface support layers
- Mass transportation seating
Performance Requirements We Address
- High tensile strength and load capacity
- Controlled elongation and recovery
- Bond strength for laminated assemblies
- Fire resistance (FR) when required
- Low VOC and minimal off-gassing
How Quantum Improves Vehicle Performance
Quantum suspension fabrics reduce or eliminate metal springs and heavy structural components within seat systems. This lightweighting improves vehicle efficiency while maintaining support and comfort.
OEM & Tier Experience
Quantum materials flow through Tier suppliers into major OEM programs, including Ford. While we often operate behind the scenes, our fabrics are proven in high-volume automotive seating applications.
Engineering at the Yarn & Fabric Level
Because Quantum controls yarn extrusion and weaving internally, we tailor mechanical properties—strength, elongation, recovery—specifically for seating load cases rather than generic textile specs.
- 5280™ warp yarns provide power, durability, and recovery
- Specialty multifilament wefts deliver comfort, color, and design
- Fully woven construction ensures dimensional stability
All yarn extrusion and weaving are performed in-house in the U.S., enabling unmatched control and customization.
Scalable, Domestic Manufacturing
- Consistent quality across long production runs
- U.S.-based supply chain
- Reliable program continuity
