The most distinctive characteristic is its excellent thermal insulation and acoustic performance. Technical studies confirm that tire-derived textile fibres exhibit strong insulation properties compared with materials such as rock wool and mineral wool, and specialist research further confirms the potential of these fibres for thermal insulation, sound absorption and composite applications. In practice, this means the textile fraction is attractive wherever noise attenuation, reduced heat transmission and low weight of the final product are important.

A further advantage of the textile fraction is its low bulk density, flexibility and ability to form a compact yet still fibrous structure. As a result, it can be processed not only in loose bulk form but also into pressed or compressed mats, boards and filling layers. Material prepared in this way is suitable for, among other things, building insulation, acoustic elements, filling layers, composite products and technical applications combining a mechanical function with a requirement for low weight.

From a materials perspective, the textile fraction is also interesting in that it is not a homogeneous product but a blend of various synthetic and high-tenacity fibres. This gives it good potential for reinforcing, strengthening and improving selected properties of other compounds — for example in construction, geotechnics or composite manufacturing. The scientific literature cites the use of these fibres in soil reinforcement, cement and mortar mixes, and other structural materials, where they can enhance strength, stability or energy absorption.
