Abstract:

Examining vehicle mats and tire development is the focus of this study. Car mats have been used for a long time to prevent damage to the flooring of automobiles. You may find a wide selection of automobile mats on the market, including synthetic mats, rubber mats, and nylon mats. The goal is to find a vehicle mat that is both environmentally and user-friendly, made from materials that can be produced with minimal energy. In addition, the car mats must be able to perform their primary functions throughout the duration of the vehicle's use. The mats should be able to keep salt and water off the floor, trap dirt and odors, resist wear, and be simple to clean. Therefore, research and the identification of superior alternatives to the present baseline are required. After doing research on various fibers, we settled on using coir fiber for both the mat's foundation and its filaments. The coconut husk, from which coir fibers are derived, is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
