Polyester wool
EASYpol polyesterwool is one of the best-selling products at Fibers & Foams. It offers excellent sound-absorbing properties while being fire-resistant. Polyesterwool is durable, water-resistant, and does not cause irritation to the skin or respiratory tract. This material is suitable for various applications, such as cavity fill insulation, sound-absorbing filling, or as sound absorption in a room.
What is polyster wool?
Polyesterwool is an acoustic product with excellent absorbing and fire-retardant properties, making it practical for use in many places due to its high level of fire safety.
EASYpol polyesterwool is available in both white and black colours and has a long lifespan. Polyesterwool can be easily cut with a sharp insulation or utility knife, and it can also be processed well through waterjet cutting or punching.
Where is polyester wool used?
Polyester wool is widely used in the construction and design sector because of its versatility. It is used as insulation material for sound and heat in walls, ceilings, and floors. It is also used for sound-absorbing panels, such as acoustic photo panels. Due to its fire safety, polyester wool is often used in public spaces, offices, theatres, and studios.
Is polyester wool an environmentally friendly choice?
Polyester wool is generally considered an eco-friendly choice, especially when produced using recycled materials. Since it can be used for a long time and recycled at the end of its life, it contributes to a sustainable construction sector. Furthermore, the production of polyester wool requires less energy than, for example, glass wool or stone wool.
Polyester wool and PET felt
Polyester wool is made from polyester fibres that are melted together through heat, mainly using recycled materials, which contributes to its sustainability.
When the wool is further processed and compressed, it becomes PET felt, which is also a sustainable product.

FAQ
What is polyester wool?
Polyester wool, also known as polyester fleece or PET wool, is a fibrous insulating material made from polyester fibers, largely derived from recycled PET bottles. The material is widely used in acoustic and thermal solutions within construction, industry, and interior design.
Is polyester wool sound absorbing?
Polyester fleece has excellent sound absorption, making it suitable for improving acoustic comfort in offices, homes, and public spaces. Additionally, it can be used as cavity filling in partition walls and suspended ceilings.
Is polyester wool environmentally friendly or recyclable?
Polyester yarn is made from over 60% recycled material, primarily PET bottles.
Is polyester wool safe to use (non-irritating fibers)?
Easypol polyester wool does not contain irritating fibers. While working with mineral wool often leads to irritation and itching, this is not the case with polyester wool
Is polyester wool suitable for sound insulation?
Polyester wool is not, by itself, a sound insulation material. For effective sound insulation, a closed, airtight material is required, such as steel sheet, wood, or plasterboard. The greater the mass, the better the insulation.
When used as an absorption material in a machine enclosure, polyester wool can make an important contribution to reducing noise levels. For sound insulation in construction, polyester wool can be used as cavity filling in soundproof structures such as partition walls and suspended ceilings. EASYpol polyester wool is a suitable option for this purpose.
