Glass Fibers

A wide variety of construction applications use nonwovens and fabrics based on glass fibers, or yarns. The substrates serve as support layers, facings, coverings or reinforcements. Depending on the application and processing requirements, our tailor-made binders ensure that the substrate provides sufficient mechanical performance and offers special resistance to heat, water, solvents or environmental stress.

Glass fiber nonwovens

Glass fiber nonwovens are used as support layers for vinyl and carpet-flooring tiles or for bituminous roofings. Additional applications include robust wall coverings and facing layers for mineral wool mats, construction boards, or fiber-reinforced plastic parts.

Glass yarn fabrics

Fabrics made from glass yarn are used as patterned wovens for high-quality wall coverings or as laid or woven meshes for various reinforcing purposes – within external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), for example.

EU Regulations: How to make your packaging PPWReady

With the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the flexible packaging industry is undergoing major transformation, bringing both challenges and opportunities. In the shift toward fully recyclable laminated packaging, water-based adhesive solutions offer a fast track to safety and compliance - not just for today, but for the future.

Illustration comparing the life cycle of laminated packaging before and after the implementation of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The "before" side shows a linear process ending in disposal. The "after" side depicts a circular life cycle, where laminated packaging is collected, recycled, and reused, reflecting the goals of the PPWR to reduce waste and promote sustainability.

How to protect your license to operate: Tackling PAA in laminated packaging

What most people know: The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will require plastic packaging to be recyclable and to contain recycled materials by 2030. What few realize: Your packaging’s market viability could be at serious risk if harmful substances - such as primary aromatic amines (PAA) - are formed during the recycling process.
