Herdecke, May 3, 2015
Introducing a newcomer
The new Multitexx GmbH presents itself at the Techtextil 2015 in Frankfurt for the first time.
At the Techtextil 2015 in Frankfurt, Multitexx GmbH of Herdecke presents itself as a new company
in the field of spunbond technology, offering high-grade nonwovens for a wide variety of
applications. Whether used for hygiene purposes, for bracing, padding or covering in the furniture
industry, as filtration, separation, or protection layers in the construction sector, for noise
attenuation in vehicle interiors, or for filtering liquids and solids: the company offers particularly
uniform calendered spunbonds of polyester (PET) or polypropylene (PP) whose properties can be
tailored to fit all applications and requirements.
With its more than 10 years of experience in the manufacture of PET spunbonds and its special
Reicofil production process, the company makes at its location in Herdecke, Germany, thermally
bonded quality nonwovens of various square weights that are up to 3,200 millimetres wide. The
outstanding characteristic of these spunbonds is that their structure is particularly uniform even at
low square weights. They are made directly from granular feedstock material in an integrated
process. In this closed process, polymers are converted into continuous filaments by melting and
drawing; the filaments are then deposited on a conveyor belt in the form of a random fibre mat.
Filaments are produced and deposited in a single operation, and thermal bonding is achieved in a
calender exclusively through pressure and temperature, without any chemicals being used.
Multitexx spunbonds are universal in application and economical to process; on request, they may
be stabilised for specific applications, and they are available in many colours. The uniformly high
quality of the products is assured by a consistent quality and environmental management system as
per DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 14001 which bears the EMAS certificate.
Performance characteristics at a glance:
High-grade PET/polyester spunbonds
 Large square-weight bandwidth from 30 to 150g/m2
 Fibre composition: 100% polyester
 Highly uniform square weight across the entire web width
 High tear strength and elongation at break
 Good temperature resistance
 Very little shrinkage
 Filament fineness 2.5 dtex, equivalent to 2.25 Denier
High-grade PP/polypropylene spunbonds
 Large square-weight bandwidth from 17 to 85g/m2
 Fibre composition: 100% polypropylene
 High square-weight uniformity across the entire web width
 Optional flame-retardant finish
 Filament fineness 2 dtex, equivalent to 1.8 Denier
Both spunbond qualities
 Thermally consolidated continuous fibres – no chemicals
 Optional width up to 3,200mm
