Technical textile
We offer products made from a wide range of technical textiles. These textiles possess various properties necessary to meet the requirements placed on our products. This includes everything from simple requirements such as color or sheen to technical requirements such as different types of strength or limited environmental impact. With our expertise and experience in the field of technical textiles and our extensive international network, we help our customers choose the right fabric for every purpose.
We always keep a large stock of technical textiles (fabrics) on hand to ensure quick turnaround times for our customers. However, if a different type of textile is required, we can usually source it with a relatively short lead time.
Materials
The technical textiles we work with are usually made of polyester, but we also work with fabrics made of materials such as polyamide, fiberglass, and aramid. Fiberglass offers excellent resistance to high temperatures. Aramid likewise offers good resistance to high temperatures, as well as extremely high strength relative to its weight.
Many of these technical textiles are coated on one side or the other with PVC, polyurethane, or silicone, while others are uncoated.
Coating and varnish
PVC is a material that offers a long service life and is therefore highly suitable for products expected to be used for a long time. Its resistance to UV radiation and temperature exposure, among other factors, can be adjusted using various additives. Polyurethane, for example, offers particularly high chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and flexibility at low temperatures, and is used in products subject to particularly harsh conditions.
Coated textiles often have an additional surface layer in the form of a coating, either acrylic or PVDF. The coating makes the textile easier to keep clean compared to uncoated fabric. It also allows for variation in the technical textile’s sheen, from completely matte to a very high gloss.
Construction
Most of our technical textiles are woven. They are woven using various weave structures and different types of yarns to achieve the desired technical properties. Two-shaft, half-panama, full-panama 2/2, and 3/3 are examples of weave structures used to manufacture our technical textiles. Different variations of the panama weave provide increased tear resistance compared to a two-shaft weave.
We also work with warp-knitted technical textiles, some of which are of the so-called DOS type. In these, the load-bearing yarns run straight, unlike in comparable woven textiles. This makes the fabric stiffer, which can be a major advantage in certain products.
Thickness / weight
People don’t usually talk about the thickness of textiles or fabric; instead, they refer to their weight per square meter. Weight per square meter is generally a more relevant measure of how heavy-duty a technical textile is. It is expressed in grams per square meter.
We work with technical textiles with a weight per square meter ranging from 150 g/m² to 3000 g/m².
Approvals / Classifications
The vast majority of the technical textiles we work with are manufactured in Europe and comply with the criteria of the REACH Regulation.
Many of our products require classification according to various fire safety standards. For example, all of our technical textiles used for vehicle covers are tested and approved in accordance with the ISO 3795 standard. The requirements for textiles used in Tent covers interior products vary depending on where and how the fabrics will be used. Approval according to test standards such as DIN 4102, M2, or EN 13501-1 with different test results are examples of common requirements. We always ensure that these requirements are met.
Many of our technical textiles are also available in phthalate-free versions.

Standard colors
These are our standard colors for fabrics used in large tents and plastic sheds. We generally keep a fairly large stock of these fabrics in these colors to ensure short lead times for our customers.
These are our standard colors for fabrics used in tarps for trailers, trucks, and various types of machinery. We usually have fabrics in these colors in stock.
