At Leedings, we believe transparency transforms specifications into solutions. In this third installment of our PET acoustic panel series, we decode fiber dimensions, reveal quality control protocols, and explain how material science shapes performance—empowering you to make data-driven decisions for your projects.

Q9: What Does “6D×51” Mean? How Do Fiber Specifications Impact Panel Performance?
Decoding Fiber Dimensions
“D” (Denier): Measures fiber thickness.
Example: 6D = 6 grams per 9,000 meters of fiber.“51”: Fiber length in millimeters.
Leedings’ Fiber Specifications & Applications
Fiber Denier | Panel Characteristics | Ideal Use Cases |
---|---|---|
6D-8D | Smoother surface, flexible | Standard-density panels (>5kg) |
12D | Increased rigidity | Lightweight panels (<5kg density) |
Why This Matters:
Lower denier fibers (6D-8D) create denser, acoustically superior surfaces for high-performance spaces like recording studios. Higher denier (12D) reinforces structural integrity in lightweight applications like movable partitions.
Q10: How Does Leedings Ensure Quality During Production?
Our manufacturing excellence rests on a 3-pillar approach:
1. Precision Batching
Orders are broken into weight-calibrated production units using digital metering systems.
Dual-stage mixing chambers ensure uniform color/fiber blending (critical for recycled PET consistency).
2. Master Craftsmanship
Production overseen by 10+ year veteran technicians who:
Monitor real-time thickness/surface quality
Adjust needle-punching density dynamically
Validate temperature profiles (±2°C tolerance)
3. Rigorous Multi-Point Inspection
Checkpoint | Frequency | Metrics Verified |
---|---|---|
Panel Weight | Hourly | Density consistency (±0.1kg) |
Visual Surface Scan | Per panel | Color uniformity, defects |
Thickness Mapping | Every 30 mins | ±0.5mm tolerance across surface |
Dimensional Accuracy | Per batch | Length/width: ±2mm; Diagonals: ±3mm |
Result: Panels with <5% performance deviation batch-to-batch—surpassing industry averages.
