Coated Fabrics portfolio overview
For the coating and treatment of technical textiles, Stahl provides water-based and solvent-based technologies. Through our partnership-as-service model, we work side-by-side with you to meet product demands These high-quality solutions are only a small selection from our technology portfolio:
Permutex® portfolio:
Our Permutex® portfolio meets and often exceeds industry regulations, with a wide variety of qualities and applications, which provides the best in PU-technology.
Permutex® EVO RU-92-213: A 60% solids cosolvent-free polyether-based polyurethane dispersion. Designed to be easily mechanically foamable. The very stable foam has high resilient capacity.
Permutex® EVO RU-92-400: A very soft, 50% solids, polyester PUR dispersion. It has excellent adhesion to synthetics with a very soft, slightly sticky handle. RU-92-400 is an excellent formulating binder with very stable till low pH and high loading properties for FR additives.
Permutex® RU-73-737: A hard aliphatic polycarbonate based PUD with grafted silicon groups in the backbone of the polymer. The product shows excellent blocking properties, high abrasion resistance and very low friction. Furthermore, it prevents dye-migration of fabrics. It is usually applied as a topcoat for different applications.
Permutex® EVO RU-92-409: This medium soft aliphatic polyester-based polyurethane dispersion is suitable for general use. A basic polymer for direct coating or impregnation of synthetic and natural textiles/fabrics. Very flexible with good adhesion to polyester and plasticizer resistant and equipped with excellent ink receptive properties.
Permutex® EVO RU-92-600: A medium-hard, co-solvent- and amine- free, aliphatic polycarbonate based PUD, designed for high performance coating systems. Best to use in combination with polyisocyanate cross-linkers. Basic binder for high end coating formulations. Excellent adhesion to all types of textiles and good air-tightness.
NuVera® D RU-94-602: A renewable carbon-based aliphatic polycarbonate PUD, designed for use as a medium hard high-performance topcoat for coated fabric articles. The theoretical bio-based content in dried film according to ASTM D6866 is 61%. 2G vegetable oil bio-mass feedstocks (Palm-oil free).
Flame-retardants portfolio:
Our Stahl Integra® flame-retardants portfolio is a versatile toolbox consisting of waterbased, halogen free technology which enables customers to meet the increasing demands around compliance, ESG, and quality in the flame-retardant and protective coatings space. All while simultaneously ensuring product quality and superior fabric integrity. When fire safety is a priority, the right flame-retardant technology can make all the difference in product safety.
Our flame-retardant portfolio is suitable for different materials in a variety of industries, tailored to meet precise product requirements and fireproof norms. We develop performance coatings, additives and polymer dispersions that ensure flame-retardant environments and settings. Achieving precise performance standards in accordance with strict fire safety regulations without affecting other properties is a major challenge. There are no standard solutions and that’s why we work side-by-side with you, as customer, to provide you with the technology that meets your needs in performance, legislative compliance and environmental standards.
Stahl Integra® RU-397: An aliphatic polyester/polycarbonate based inherently flame-retardant PUR dispersion for impregnation and coating of textiles. Hard handle. Excellent suited for different window decoration articles. Can be formulated further with Stahl Integra® FRA additive range.
Stahl Integra® FRA-9414: A nitrogen-phosphorus based dispersion used as a backbone in halogen-free formulations. Suitable for a wide variety of flame-retardant regulations with best efficiency in vertical burn performances.
Crosslinkers and performance improvers portfolio:
We believe in the power of an extensive crosslinkers and performance additives portfolio that meet market demands and outperform on customer’s needs.
Relcalink® HX-1: A hyper-functional polycarbodiimide crosslinker. High reactivity due to unique multifunctionality resulting in optimum resistance properties.
Permutex® XR-22-907: Very high reactive DMP blocked isocyanate to be used as crosslinker or as booster for FC finishes.
Stahl Integra® DRY-725: Very effective, fluorine free water repellent (DWR), providing excellent water repelling performance for various textile applications. The only DWR on which waterbased coatings can be applied without interfering adhesion properties.
Permutex® WD-3600: A very dull polymeric duller concentrate based on PolyMatte® technology. Superb mar- and abrasion resistance. Excellent hydrolysis and UV resistance.
