Apple HomePod Mini featuring a seamless knitted spacer textile speaker cover and injection moulded transparent plastic touch panel. In the development of the HomePod, a tubular spacer textile construction was developed to remove the need for an unsightly seam. Spacer textile is a highly breathable warp-knitted fabric consisting of two faces connected with filaments in the middle. The mesh acts as both an acoustically transparent cover for the speaker and cushion to protect the electronics within.

Fluoropolymer coated glass fibre for application in architecture, industry and manufacturing. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is typically applied by dip coating, whereby the glass fabric is drawn through a solution of PTFE and sintered. The proportion of PTFE in the finished product ranges from 20-60%, depending on the requirements of the application. While there is a drive to replace PFTE, it is very challenging in applications like this. For example, these PTFE-coated meshes are used as conveyor belts in the production of thermoplastics like thermoplastics polyurethane (TPU). There is currently no known alternative that offers the same non-stick performance and high-temperature durability.
