From re-cycled fibers to technical materials 

The highest renewability for technical textile and synthetic materials

The highest renewability for technical textile and synthetic materials

We all want to reduce the environmental footprint of the daily materials used and move from a Linear Economy to a sustainable Circular Economy. But today there are still technical gaps to be solved to achieve the desired performance.

It is difficult to realize a technical textile and synthetic material leather like, for sportsgoods, fashion industry or automotive, with the highest renewable content and the lowest environmental impact. It is very hard to obtain the same high standard, performance and quality  when the textile to be treated is manufactured from new innovative and renewable origin, like for example hemp based fibers, regenerated microfibers or recycled fibers.

It is not only an aspect of chemistry and having the right product, but it is a combination also of a deep knowledge of manufacturing process, materials and capability to innovate.

The core of Textile industry

We have realized that by using our waterborne technology we can manufacture biobased synthetic polymers with highest vegetable and renewable carbon content inside. We obtain a wide range of Biobased polyurethane and acrylic products, Rolflex® Bio, that can help to achieve the high quality standard for fabrics coated, impregnated or printed for the automotive, luxury and fashion industry.

Innovative solutions for high performances.

The innovative Rolflex® Bio and Esacote® PVC Top are applied following three different industrial manufacturing process working on extremely different and innovative renewable fabrics.

  • Hemp based
  • Recycled Polyester fabric
  • Recycled Polyester microfiber

Our Rolflex® Bio, made by up to 70% of vegetable – renewable carbon and certified Bluesign® approved product, used in combination with renewable fabric and defined manufacturing process permit to gain the highest requirements of textile sectors as for example:

  • High flexibility and abrasion resisistance
  • High performance after hydrolysis tests
  • Breathability and Strong adhesions
  • Extremely high washing fastness
  • Very nice and natural look
