Technical Textiles



Each special demand placed on a certain product requires an appropriate solution. We will show you the possibilities afforded by high-performing, technical fabrics for your specific field of application. The following presents some of the successfully established end products that we have developed in collaboration with our customers:

  • Fabrics for hot-gas and wet filtration systems
  • Broadwoven fabrics for coatings
  • Backing and secondary backing fabrics for the carpet industry
  • Geotextiles for agriculture, hydraulic engineering and road construction
  • Special, highly elastic constructions
  • Backing fabric for coatings and rubber coatings
  • Tarpaulins and barrier fabrics


Our state-of-the-art machine equipment has always been one of our top priorities. It allows us to weave fabric at widths of 20 to 540 cm, in special cases up to 900 cm, as well as fabric weighing between 50 and 1,500 g/m².

The Floating Piers



It was finally possible to walk on water for 16 days between June 18 and July 3, 2016. Following intensive preparations, the company SETEX Textil GmbH produced approximately 103,000 m2 of polyamide fabric of approximately 317 g/m2 on a rapier weaving machine for this project.

The fabric was processed into a gigantic, floating walkway on Italy’s Lake Iseo. During this period, visitors and residents were able to walk on water for three kilometers from Sulzano to Monte Isola, as well as to San Paolo Island.

The fact that we were entrusted with this excellent art project makes us very proud.















TAPEFABRIC – The latest brand product from SETEX Textil GmbH is an innovative thermoplastic material with glass content and a polypropylene matrix. This unique fabric is the future of lightweight construction, and it offers some clear benefits, such as short cycle times during processing and extreme strength in spite of its light weight. The finished end product exhibits good “crash behavior,” as it barely chips! TAPEFABRIC already protects the environment during processing, as the waste created can be reused. Talk to us and we will be happy to introduce you to TAPEFABRIC personally!

Advantages:

  • Extremely strong but very light
  • Simple processing
  • No negative impact on air quality
  • Short cycle times for further processing
  • Can be incinerated
  • No delamination or splitting due to crossover points
  • Can be turned into a prepreg with little effort
  • Unique coating of single filaments leads to very high impact resistance
  • Weaves: canvas or twill 2/2
  • Good crash behavior
  • No rusting
  • Just as strong as steel but 20–40% lighter
