Sustainable waterproofing membranes for the construction industry
Freudenberg Performance Materials offers a broad range of high-performance nonwovens used as carriers for construction membranes. Our flexible solutions can be tailored to the specific needs of demanding construction membrane manufacturers. Most polyester nonwovens are made from 100% post-consumer bottles, recycled in-house through vertically integrated processes.
Key Features
- Different technologies (staple, spunbond, thermally bonded)
- Available in various versions with different weights
- Excellent durability and dimensional stability
- High flexibility
- Good tear resistance
- Easy to impregnate
- High thermal stability
Key Benefits
- No shrinkage of rolls during processing
- Increase of membrane production speed: combining the flexibility of polyester with the stability of glass enables excellent runnability, especially at high temperatures and when used on high-speed bitumen lines.
- Ease of use
- Resistance over time

Colback®: designed to meet your needs
The Colback portfolio of nonwovens has been designed for use across a broad range of hot impregnation and coating processes, which require a strong fabric with high dimensional stability and reinforcement capacity, making it the perfect carrier for bituminous membranes.
Colback spunbond nonwovens provide superior strength and stability. They facilitate the fabrication of high-performance waterproofing and construction membranes while supporting process efficiency.
Colback membranes have the same physical properties in all directions, so they’re easy to handle in a broad range of applications like roofing membranes and underlayment, foundation waterproofing membranes and bridge deck and mine waterproofing membranes.
Texbond® R: staple polyester nonwovens
Texbond® R is a staple polyester nonwoven reinforced with glass filaments arranged lengthwise. It is available in numerous versions with different weights.
The material is made of 100% recycled fiber, making a positive impact on the environment by saving natural resources and reducing the footprint. Texbond® R complies with the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
Terbond®: spunbond polyester nonwovens
Terbond® is a polyester fiber nonwoven, manufactured using spunbond technology and available in numerous weights.
The technology is the result of specific knowledge in the fields of spinning, stretching with air at subsonic speed, and web-laying. This know-how has been expanded over the years by continuous technological improvements, particularly in mechanical, chemical and thermal bonding.
Terbond® is available both in standard and reinforced versions. Terbond® complies with the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
