For high-tech wiping, lightweight Evolon RE is now available starting from 30 g/m2. The material meets the needs of cleaning specialists for more sustainable wiping solutions. Evolon RE offers the same high quality and material performance as all other Evolon textiles.
Tarpaulins made from recycled raw materials
When it comes to tarpaulins on trucks, both protection of the transport cargo and advertising for the transport company place high demands on the material. Mehler Texnologies GmbH, Hückelhoven/Germany, tarpaulin material ranks among the premium products for truck tarpaulins. The company is a pioneer in sustainable development and is showcasing Polymar 8556 Eco CF. This material has a 25 % share of recycled raw materials in the coating mass. In addition, the material is made with 100 % rPET yarns. The input materials undergo a complex separation and filtering process.
Sustainable padding material for automotive and furniture seat covers
Filflex is a soft and flexible padding layer made from nonwovens for automotive and furniture seat covers. It prevents leather from creasing and improves the dimensional stability of the seat covers. In terms of sustainability, its benefit is its 100 % PET composition, making Filflex easy to recycle. It offers customers easier handling during sewing and the seat covering process. End-users benefit from the high seating comfort.
This will be presented during the Techtextil, the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, from June 21-24, 2022 in Frankfurt/Germany.
