Colback® –
innovating together
We developed Colback over 60 years ago, as many industries require materials that meet specific requirements in terms of strength, flexibility, and workability. When development and manufacturing expertise meet production and application experience over time, great things happen. One of our strengths is our close collaboration with our customers, which enables us to achieve continuous development and improvement of Colback®. Because we also like to think outside the box, we have been able to establish this special nonwoven fabric with its unmatched versatility, adaptability, and durability in numerous industries.
Colback® –
innovative manufacturing process
Colback® is manufactured in an innovative, two-stage production process. In the first stage, continuous bi-component filaments are produced. In the second stage, special laying down and thermobonding technologies give the nonwoven its final structure and strength. – in this way, different variants and designs can be realized that are not possible with conventional nonwovens. The highly developed production technology ensures the outstanding properties of Colback®, which is valued as a reliable nonwoven in a wide range of technical applications. Different polymer combinations are available for the filament core/sheath designs. If required, various types of additives, finishes or inlays such as reinforcing glass scrim can be included. Also multilayer composites are possible.
High strength
Colback® is characterized by excellent tensile and tear strength as well as rigidity and dimensional stability – with optimized flexibility and perfect resistance to high mechanical loads.
Non-fraying
Colback® impresses with its outstanding structural stability, which effectively prevents fraying of the cut edges.
Thermal stability
Colback® offers exceptional thermal stability thanks to its special fiber structure. The material retains its shape and properties even at high processing temperatures.
Isotropic
Colback® offers consistent mechanical performance in all directions thanks to the even distribution of the filaments. The result: reliable structural integrity in tufting and coating adhesion properties.
