Aus der Branche

Freudenberg Performance Materials (Freudenberg) erweitert seine kürzlich eingeführte ECO-Range mit nachhaltigen Teppichträgern aus Vliesstoff: Lutradur ECO-R und Colback-ECO-R mit einem hohen Anteil an recycelten Rohstoffen.

Freudenberg führte Anfang des Jahres seine ECO-RE-Range als Teil der neuen ECO-Range aus nachhaltigen Erstträgern ein. Die ECO-RE-Range umfasst ressourceneffizient produzierte Teppichträger, die mit weniger Rohstoffen hergestellt werden und die die Recyclingfähigkeit des Endproduktes unterstützen. Dafür hat Freudenberg seine firmeneigene Technologie zur Herstellung von Filamenten neu definiert, sodass extrem dünne Filamente hergestellt werden können.

ECO-R Produkte
Die Erst- und Zweitträger für Teppiche aus Spinnvliesstoff von Freudenberg tragen zu einfachen und effizienten Herstellungsprozessen bei Kunden und zu leistungsstarken Endprodukten bei. Colback ECO-R- und Lutradur ECO-R-Träger haben einen Recyclinganteil zwischen 51 und 90 Prozent. Der Ersatz von Virgin-Rohstoffen durch recycelten Polyester schont natürliche Ressourcen und verbessert die CO2-Bilanz der Endprodukte. ECO-R kommt in Teppichfliesen, Teppichböden, Schmutzfangmatten zum Einsatz sowie in Einlegematten für die Automobilindustrie.

“Thanks to our commitment in the research of materials, we are able to propose metalloplastic yarns produced with 100% recycled material; the film used for the production of flat yarns, too, is in recycled polyester, with a quality level that is suitable for cutting – the Company explains -. Till now it was possible to find in the market only metalloplastic yarns with not recycled polyester flat yarn, twisted with certified fibers. This represents an important step forward to implement a circular economy possibility for this kind of products too”.

The Gleaming yarns GRS certified can be supplied in gold and silver, colors and transparent, in various counts, widths and types; they are suitable for use in flat and circular knitting, weaving, hosiery and as a component in fancy yarns.
