- Fiberglass, Steel, Carbon, Aramid fiber, Basalt, Polyamide, High tenacity Polyester
which are covered in extrusion by coating with different thermoplastic materials:
- Co-Polyamide low melt, known for its high adhesive power and broadly used for fabric stabilization, it is also compatible with Epoxy resin. The variety we use is proudly derived from bio, renewable sources, in full compliance with our attention for the environment; Polyester low melt, which can be melted at low temperatures and easily bonded with other fibers; Polyamide 12, with high resistance to abrasion and chemical agents; Peek, a superpolymer with melting temperatures above 300 ° C, used in the world of composites thanks to its unique mechanical properties; Polypropilene, due to its great compatibility with rubber; EVA, broadly used by virtue of its very low melting point and excellent adhesion properties; TPU, which features excellent resistance to abrasion, oils and fats, weather, wear and tear, light, solvents, therefore being an excellent multifaceted choice for a broad number of applications, and many other materials. Ageing stability and lightfastness are a given.
TPU EVOLUTION
TPU Evolution® is our 100% Italian made coated yarn, with a coating in high quality Thermoplastic Polyurethane. It can give life to countless applications, including knitted and protective garments, accessories, outerwear, sportswear and shoes, technical industrial wear, bags, suitcases, indoor and outdoor furniture, and also finds uses in the heavier industry and automotive sectors.
Available in many versions and counts, TPU Evolution® generates different effects on the fabric depending on the type of finishing chosen, as mentioned in the attached product sheet.
Uniqueness and performance are a given with our yarn.
After the finishing process, the easy-to-cut fabric guarantees the dimensional stability of the product, as well as optimum breathability before reaching the waterproof stage.
TPU Evolution® is UV stable and enhances colors, it is sensationally soft to the touch, and shows an excellent resistance to abrasion, hydrolysis, microbial attack, solvents, oils and fats.
It is also thermal moldable, one of the many reasons why a single product can give life spectacular and diversified effects applicable to the most varied sectors.
Counts range from 330 dtex to 930 dtex and can be tailored to your specific needs - because the specific weight of TPU polyurethane modifies the total weight of the yarn, the final count cannot be compared to other fibers.
TPU Evolution® roughly translates into half its count when compared to other fibers.
Water-free coloured, solvent free and produced with zero waste aim, TPU Evolution® is REACH and OEKO-TEX certified, standard 100 Class 1.
Custom-engineered solutions
All of the above being available in a variety of customizable counts and core diameters, we also developed varieties with extreme resistance to abrasion and Flame Retardant properties. Depending on the final application and Customers’ specifications, we are able to design coated yarns with unique features, such as resistance to alkali, sea water, UV rays and much more: all in all, the combination of core and coat allows for customized, high performance solutions.
Our custom-engineered solutions provide technical answers to most industrial yarn requirements. Our coated yarns are based on different core fibres, usually covered with polymeric materials in order to enhance their functional properties and make the end product suitable for a variety of fields, including Composites, Military, fabrics aimed at the structural reinforcement of buildings and infrastructures, Cables, Nets, Ropes, Workwear, Transportation and Telecommunications Industries.
Our Technical Team is always available to design customised products in case of specific applications: for any new idea, our R&D department will be happy to assist through all phases of creation and realization of the end product, always focusing on an optimal quality-price ratio.
Preserving natural resources
All the while caring for the environment and trying to make our products as sustainable as possible, in addition to always being on the lookout for new ways to reduce the ecological footprint.
Our selection of polymers is strongly based on varieties whose production process aims at preserving natural resources: the Co-polyamide we use, for instance, is derived from biosources and has renewability as a goal. Our thermoplastic polyurethane is completely solvent-free, non-toxic and safe for both humans and the environment; it is sadly a known fact that the production process of solvents leads to the emission of greenhouse gases, and their volatility is known as one of the main causes of damage to the stratospheric ozone.The absence of solvents in Coated Yarns Industrial therefore contributes to respecting the quality of groundwater and the air we breathe.
Thanks to the constant research, Coatyarn’s choice of additives has strongly veered towards bio-sourced alternatives: we believe in every small step that can change the world for the better over time, with future generations in mind.
The water-free technology the yarn is extruded and colored with is yet another cornerstone of our reality, whose benefit is the total absence of water in the production process and the subsequent disposal of pollutants in the aquifer.
Zero waste is the motto of our production process, perfected to the point of making full use of raw materials and eliminating waste. The desire to perfect ourselves, together with the use of clean resources, has led to an improvement in production efficiency resulting in low energy impact production: all this actively contributes to the reduction of polluting emissions.

Especially our CopaGlass yarns (eglass cores coated with CoPolyamide lowmelt, available in various counts) are the perfect solutions for fabrics stabilisation and reinforcement of Unidirectional, multiaxial fabrics and meshes (either in glass, carbon, steel, aramid or even basalt…), thanks to the compatibility of our CoPa with all kinds of resins used in the curing process and the complete nonshrinkage effect on the fabrics.

Coated yarns for carpets
Coatyarn is a leading producer of high technology coated yarns, suitable to a big range of applications, from reinforcement and stabilization of fabrics to the automotive, from furniture to cables, from ropes to defence, …
We offer a variety of combinations between cores and coats: among the core fibers we use there are e-glass, high tenacity polyester, stainless steel, basalt, aramid fiber, cordura and polyester; coated by extrusion with high performing thermoplastic polymers such as TPU, low melt bio based co-polyamide, low melt co-polyester, EVA, polyamide 12, polypropylene, PEEK, and special polymers such as PPS or PVDF.
We have recently developed a new coated yarn which could offer a solution upstream, in creating the backing fabric on the loom.
Our coated yarn can be inserted in the weft direction and, after the tufting is done, an infrared light can easily melt the Copolyamide coating, bonding the fibers together. An eventual further calendering process could help getting a more flat and rigid backing.
There are multiple advantages offered by our technology:
- Alternative to latex backing, which is difficult to recycle and tends to leak chemicals in the environment over time
- Shorter curing times, with cost and energy saving
- Antifraying effect when cutting the carpet.
- Longer carpet life, as the calendaring process would make it more rigid increasing the tuft pulling resistance
- Our coating is largely made from renewable sources
Our coated yarns can also be a successful solution for woven carpets: the coated yarn we developed could help getting great edge-cutting and anti-fraying. Considering the low melting point, it would imply also saving of time and cost for energy and heating.

The result is a shoe upper that can be produced in one go, with logos and skin effects already incorporated. The finishing treatment allows for different degrees of lamination and matt or glossy effects. One knit, one shot, one shoe.

Coated yarns for braiding
Coatyarn Srl is leader in the production of high-performing and high-tech coated yarns:
these are yarns with cores in various technical fibers (from Polyester to e-glass, from steel to carbon, only to quote some available materials), coated with thermoplastic polymers, such as COPES, TPU, TPE, EVA, until “special” polymers like PVDF, PPS e PEEK.
We have also developed some coated yarns especially created for the braiding process on cables and harnesses.
These are available in standard and also in very high-performing materials, with great resistance to stress, weathering, chemicals, high temperatures, and flame retardant properties (as for example PVC, PVDF and TPU).
Some of the advantages follow:
No liquid or moisture retention
No trapping of dust and small particles
Heat dissipation
