WEINHEIM – Sustainable Evolon engineered fabrics for reusable technical packaging applications will be presented by Freudenberg Performance Materials at Fachpack 2022 in Nuremberg, Germany from September 27-29.
The microfilament textiles offer improved surface protection for moulded plastic parts, painted parts and so-called Class A parts, providing customers with significant savings potential.
As a result of the sophisticated protective functionality of the microfilament textiles, fewer parts are damaged, the reject rate is reduced and in addition, Evolon is extremely durable. The fabrics contain a high percentage of recycled PET and are manufactured in a certified sustainable process.
Evolon RE is the most sustainable product in the portfolio containing the highest percentage of recycled PET. The new Ultra Force range from Evolon offers extremely high mechanical strength and eliminates the need for PVC in the transportation and protection of large, heavy parts. Freudenberg has developed the ESD (electrostatic discharge) range for the packaging of sensitive electronic components which offers permanent electrostatic discharging and its surface resistivity can be customised.
Evolon microfilament textiles are the optimal choice of reusable packaging for sensitive parts. The ultrasoft and smooth surface of Evolon protects highly-sensitive surfaces and avoids micro-scratches or texture transfer. The microfilament textiles are also extremely strong and can be used to pack and transport very heavy parts without damage. They are breathable, permeable to solvent vapours and feature UV-filtering properties that are invaluable for outdoor storage.
They are manufactured from up to 85% recycled materials and their sustainability benefits extend throughout their lifecycle.
Freudenberg manufactures the microfilament textiles at its plant in Colmar, France, that has been awarded the STeP by Oeko-Tex label and complies with the Detox To Zero by Oeko-Tex criteria.
