High performance coatings solutions

At Stahl, we use our expertise, innovation power and extensive performance coatings solutions portfolio to meet your needs. We are driven to find coating solutions that address your challenges in terms of technical performance, protection and aesthetic requirements of industrial applications.

Wide field of application

Our tailor-made coating solutions and finishes are used in many industries, such as:

• transportation

• Construction

• Industrial

• Advertising

Application examples of PVC coated fabrics, which are protected with Stahl solutions are:

• Truck tarpaulins

• Persennings

• Poolliners and flexible containers for storage and transportation of bulk solids and liquids

• Billboards, awnings, tents and textile constructions for roofing of industrial halls

• Biogas plants

• Sports stadiums

The things that drive the extensive usability of our solutions are a.o. flexibility, surface hardness and appearance, abrasion resistance and durability. The ability to add specific properties to upgrade the surface is the reason for its success.

Sustainable solutions

We believe it is our responsibility to lower the environmental impact. That is why we focus our R&D investments on more sustainable solutions that don't compromise performance. 

The portfolio for these applications comprises of a range of solvent born lacquers tailor- made designed for their specific end use.

• Permuthane® EVO LV-6820: a medium hard, glossy, solvent born vinyl/acrylic finish specially developed for billboard, front- and backlit applications. High solids content. 

• Permuthane® LV-43-153: General use, medium hard, solvent born vinyl/acrylic finish for very dull PVC articles, for military applications and synthetics. 

• Permutex® WF-13-426: A medium hard, high-gloss water born vinyl/acrylic finish for general use PVC coated fabrics. Ink receptive, suitable for digital printing. 

The bond that makes performance last

In PVC-coated fabrics, performance depends on more than just strong materials. It depends on how well they bond together. Here Stahl’s adhesion promotors play a major role. They create the vital link between the textile substrate and the PVC coating. Acting as a chemical bridge, they ensure durable adhesion, resisting heat, moisture, cold and mechanical stress. Invisible yet essential, adhesion promoters turn separate layers into one reliable, long-lasting solution, ready for demanding applications where failure is not an option.

Worthwhile to mention and to check out is our newly developed phthalate free adhesion promotor Permuthane® XR-22-515. High adhesion strength and compatible with different plasticizers, like e.g. DINCH.
