KORTEKS works closely with automotives manufacturers in order to provide flexible and reliable service at every stage of automotive fabrics from initial design to mass production.KORTEKS-made automotive yarns are extensively used both in Turkey and abroad to make automotive fabrics for use in AUDI, TOYOTA, BMW, RENAULT, VOLKSWAGEN, FORD, PSA, VOLVO, FIAT, STELLANTIS, MERCEDES and TOGG vehicles.

Consistent quality from initial design to final product...

In the conduct of every automotives industry project, KORTEKS adheres to a process-management approach that begins with the development of yarns, all aspects of which are thoroughly tested and analyzed in color laboratories before undergoing trial-manufacturing.

KORTEKS labs are staffed by experienced personal and are fitted out with the most advanced and precise testing equipment currently available in order to ensure that quality control is carried out at internationally-accepted standards.

In order to ensure the uninterrupted progress and continuity of projects, the critical control points of every stage of production from polycondensation and spinning (POY, Micro POY, FDY), to texturizing, air texturizing, and twisting are managed according to control plans specially developed for automotives industry programs under IATF 16949:2016. This ensures that the absolute quality consistency that is demanded for automotives projects is actually achieved.

TAC FLAME RETARDANT maintains permanent flame retardancy to the textiles in which they are used. In contrast to the textiles produced with standard polyester or any other type of yarn, flame retardant textiles show self-extinguishing behaviour, melt slowly and decrease the fume formation.

TAC UV RESISTANT is specially developed for outdoor textiles. In the fabrics exposed to the sunlight and heavy weather conditions, degradation occurs. Degradation results in color fading and loss of durability over time. TAC UV Resistant maintains long-time durability and resistance to color fading.

TAC ANTISTATIC shows perfect electrical conductivity and eliminates the static electrification problem in the fabric. It is used as a protector in many textile materials. For example, in the laboratories, gas stations, electronic industry, dye houses that are affected by static electrification.

TAC COTTON-LIKE is the polyester yarn resembling natural fibers with its high number of filaments, soft touch and high texture. TAC Cottonlike absorbs water quickly, has a better of air permeability than cotton. It is produced with an innovative technique that was developed by Korteks. Bursting strength of the fabric is twice as better than that of the fabric produced with cotton.

TAC MILPA-LIKE yarns can be woven into fabrics whose textures have a natural, wool-like feel. In addition to an ecru version suitable for disperse-dyeing, dope-dyeable blends and cationic composites are also available.

TAC LINEN-LIKE structure of LINEN-LIKE yarns imparts a linen-like feel to fabrics that are woven from linen.

TAC EASY DYED by using standard polyester yarn, medium shade and dark shade Easy Dye yarns together in the fabric, three different color levels can be achieved with a single dyeing process.

TAC CATIONIC The dyeing properties of polyester that has undergone cationic polymerization are superior to those of disperse-dyed normal polyester. Fabrics woven from cationically-dyed yarns are much more color-fast and this is especially important in the case of rich, dark colors.

TIGHT SPOT yarns give the fabrics into  which they are woven a slightly raised-relief or sandy appearance owing to the regular surging effects imparted to them during manufacture.

TWO TONE  is made from specially-made texturized POY. When fabrics woven from it are dyed, the result is a surface that is characterized by tonal graduations.

THICK&THIN is a textured yarn made from POY that is manufactured so as to have unique features that significantly alter its dyeability causing some parts of the yarn to hold onto more or less dye than others.

ITY yarns are manufactured from layers that have different shrinkability values. Fabrics made from these yarns can be given a peach-like look and feel through a special finishing process that does not required abrasion.

TAC Bioloop & Ciclo Inside was developed to reduce the persistence of fugitive synthetic microfibers, which is caused by textiles. Thanks to its special formulation, it creates countless biodegradable spots where microbes can form functional entities that biodegrade the material throughout the matrix of the PET yarn.  The microorganisms degrade and digest the PET yarn with the help of these spots.

Biodegradable Solution To Complement Circularity

The yarn is produced by adding a sustainable additive to the PET chips during the melt spinning process that imparts biodegradable properties. This sustainable additive can be blended with recycled or virgin PET and can be dope dyed. Since the additive does not affect the mechanical properties of the yarn, the biodegradable PET yarns can be used in all applications where virgin and recycled PET yarns are used.

DRY TOUCH® is a certified performance fabric of KORTEKS. Although DRY TOUCH® fabric features derive from the special polyester yarns, DRY TOUCH® is the brand of the fabric, not the yarn.

DRY TOUCH® fabric can be produced by only the limited number of certified manufacturer that are authorized by Zorlu Holding. Korteks A.S. controls fabric features during all steps of production to ensure the permanency of the quality. DRY TOUCH® performance fabrics can be used in sportswear, underwear, denim wear, work wear, ready to wear and in many other areas. With the quality comprehension and support of dynamic structure of Zorlu Holding, DRY TOUCH® has the competition advantage at the market with competitive prices.

At the Polymer Recycling Plant, we are producing RPET Chips, the raw material of the TAÇ Reborn, extracted from the waste plastic bottles, a non-biodegradable product capable of inducing negative environmental impact by uncontrollably remaining in the nature for prolonged periods, and other yarns discarded as production wastes to obtain a recyclable product, the filament polyester yarn.  Thanks to this innovative recycling process, we not only save energy as the process requires less energy when compared to the traditional production practices, but also endorse reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, we support recycling processes through circular economy while also contributing to build a sustainable future in the long run.
