Engineered Yarns

BasaTexx FP is an innovative, high-performance technical fabric made of Basalt and treated with a fire-resistant coating.
Through the interaction of the mineral fiber material with a special elastomer coating, a non-combustible, flexible, and lightweight tarpaulin or composite material was created.

The new developed fabric can be used for multifunctional applications and system solutions. Wherever high fire protection requirements are necessary and the general fire load has to be reduced, BasaTexx FP is the perfect lightweight material solution. The fabric meets the requirements of building material class A2-s1,d0 according to DIN 4102-1 and EN 13501-1 (equals to ISO 1182).

BasaTexx FP is characterized by a high flame retardancy and temperature resistance (up to 1.200 °C / 2,200 °F); high tensile and compressive strengths; UV-, chemical and corrosion resistance and no melting and dripping behaviour when exposed to fire.

MEHLER’s engineered fabrics cover the whole spectrum of woven technical fabrics.
Our fabric solutions are based on industry-proven yarns, engineered fabric constructions, tailor-made fabric finishing, treatments and coatings as well as individual fabric dimensions.

The product portfolio of MEHLER’s technical fabrics is extremely diverse and is used in a wide variety of applications. Most of the fabrics are tailor-made to meet the needs of specific downstream processes and end-uses. Engineered fabrics are often used to reinforce Mechanical Rubber Goods (MRG). Only the use of the fabric enables a long durability of the end product. In a textile / rubber composite structure, the textile fabric provides properties such as tensile strength and rigidity. In order to achieve the required degree of adhesion between the textile and rubber, we treat our fabrics with RFL (resorcinol formaldehyde latex), or alternatively, with our RF-free solution Mehler Sustain Adhesive (MSA).
Other end applications, in turn, require other types of finishings.

MEHLER’s customers expect highest product quality and on-time manufacturing of our woven engineered fabrics. To meet these requirements, multi-stage processes such as the following need to be managed:

• texturizing
• twisting
• warping
• weaving
• treating or coating
• tumbling
• cutting
• lab testing

We are optimally positioned for such tasks, as we control and manage the entire value chain internally.

RF-free treatment solution

Our experts developed a sustainable, RF-free and CO2-neutral treatment for Mechanical Rubber Goods (MRG) reinforced by technical textiles.
The innovative treatment solution MehlerSustainAdhesive – MSA – consists of natural components and contributes to a responsible treatment of the environment, people and our future.
MSA enables outstanding adhesion to various rubber compounds.
