sales/contact

Basics

  • Needlefelt carpets are normally made of Polyester or Polypropylene
  • High-quality products for the contract market have a surface out of polyamide monofilament fibres
  • The surface is either flat or shows a rip structure
  • For printing, polyester is widely used
  • Polypropylene can not be printed
  • Only plastisols or pigments would be possible - but with inferior rub fastness

Applications

  • Needlefelt carpets in the shape of endless carpet are used for exhibition carpets, events, weddings.
  • Needlefelt products in the shape of mats are used for the promotion industry, but also as a cheap and colorful product for residential use and as children play mats.

Printing Methods

  • Needlefelt can be printed either with CHROMOJET or with COLARIS technology
  • Printing lines may have a width of 2,200, 3,200, 4,200 or 5,200 mm
  • Our recommendation concerning dyes or inks are high-energy disperse types, because they providegood coverage, sharp definition and excellent fastness
