Feltec FAQs
Our felt is made from polyester fibres, which provide the best combination of softness and durability. Acrylic felt tends to lack softness, whereas natural wool, though soft, tends to wear off quickly, leaving messy small particles on the floor.
Sticking power, thickness, softness, durability are important factors:
- A quality adhesive will not separate from the felt, even in the presence of liquids.
- Thinner felt is less durable, and thicker felt will affect stability.
- Density and fiber diameter determine how soft the felt will be. The optimal combination provides softness, stability and durability all in one.
MADICO’s unique manufacturing process injects hot-melt PVAc (polyvinyl acetate) resin glue two-thirds deep into the felt pad. This ensures that your felt pad will remain adhered and provide a stable base to resist sheering forces, such as a sliding chair. Competing cheaper products only use double-sided tape.
ECO FELTAC™ pads are made from 85% recycled fibers to reduce their environmental footprint. Also, their compact, space-saving packaging printed on FSC-approved and recycled card further increases their credentials.
