Products

Milliken’s many technologies for fabric formation, and our deep knowledge of chemistry, come together when we manufacture highly-specified fabrics for hoses, belts, military equipment and a variety of other mechanical rubber goods and reinforced products.

Milliken manufactures fabrics to reinforce and insulate foam in automotive seats and seat backs. These fabrics also find application as laminating substrates for certain upholstery materials to help control conformability. Learn More

Milliken manufactures reinforcing fabrics for two major classes of conveyor belting: multi-ply rubber belts and lightweight rubber or thermoplastic belts. Learn More

Mechanical Rubber Goods (MRG) comprise of a diverse group of product ranging from hydraulic hoses to brake diaphragms to fuel tanks for fighter aircraft. These high-performance end uses require specialized textile reinforcements that deliver physical properties like tensile, controlled elongation, modulus and fatigue resistance, as well as adhesion to rubber or to thermoplastics.
