Applications which require a higher relative viscosity can also be perfectly produced with our Ultramid® polymers.
For many years the Ultramid® grades have been the preferred choice for high-end polyamide carpets. Characteristics of Ultramid® polymers are a large color variety, robustness, and longevity.
Carpets made of Ultramid® polymers do not lose their resilience. They can withstand even the toughest stress of the type encountered in places such as hotels, airports, and public buildings. They remain in excellent shape for a long time and thus provide more living comfort.
Physical advantages like high resistance to wear and excellent recovery properties as well as easy-to-clean and anti-stain properties have convinced customers all over the world. Environmental issues are becoming more and more important: carpets made of Ultramid® polymers have a longer lifetime and they need less energy during production.
However, carpets are not the only segment where Ultramid® polymers can show its strength. More and more customers value the homogeneity and extraordinary quality consistency of this product that make it a perfect match for the exciting world of microfilaments produced with the help of bicomponent spinning technology. Precision of hardware and material is a must in this segment – no problem for Ultramid®.
Besides microfibers these extremely versatile polymers allow almost every fiber construction, from textile monofilaments to semitechnical yarns of medium denier and tenacity.
