A stylish and versatile partnership between Recytex and ROWA Masterbatch for innovative coated TPU y
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the industry and more and more companies are focusing on environmentally friendly materials. TPU yarns provide a wide range of options in this respect: from transparent and color variants to organic-based and recycled yarns.
Recytex produces coated yarns in TPU as well as other materials such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) so that specific customer requirements can be met. The Recytex product range includes transparent, color and translucent yarns as well as innovative organic-based TPU yarns, which consist of 37% ECO-TPU. A particularly environmentally friendly innovation are the RE-PUR yarns, which are made from recycled polyurethane and are available in various extra-matt colors.
Recytex has been working in close cooperation with the specialists at ROWA Masterbatch for quite some time. This partnership ensures that the yarns are always provided with the optimum additives in the form of ROWALID Additive Masterbatches to withstand the demanding conditions of their applications. Our mutual endeavor is to always select the ideal combination of different TPU types for the yarn outer layer. The polymer-specific Additive Masterbatches for the corresponding ether or ester types are continually being further developed. The result is a durable, high-quality product.
Numerous TPU properties, such as resistance to abrasion, impact, oils, grease and hydrolysis, can be used, and the yarns are antimicrobial, UV-stable and colorfast. The water-free dyeing using Color Masterbatches also has a positive effect on the environment.
