TRail is an innovation for all side-seamed textiles!

With our T-Rail, we create a clean and even winding of the fabric without thickening at the edges and even without having to set down the fabric tube. The T-Rail changes its shape and always adapts to its task. When wound onto the fabric shaft, the T-Rail is as flat as the fabric. When it is unwound, the flag of the T-Rail is set up in a T-shape via a guide in the side rail and then provides the necessary lateral support for the textile in the inlet.

Application Areas

  • External and internal sun shading

  • Side seam guided textiles:

    • Vertical or window awnings

    • Conservatory awnings

    • Roller blinds

    • Roller blinds

  • Suitable for typical technical textiles from the sun protection sector, e.g:
    PVC-coated fabrics (Screen, Soltis, etc.) and PVC-free fabrics (Twilight, Starscreen, etc.)

  • Special features

    • No thickening at the connection TRail to fabric.
      TRail zu Gewebe.

    • Homogeneous winding.

    • Ready for gluing – already wound on spools ready for processing.

    • Significantly smaller systems can be realized.

    • Reduction of wrinkle formation.

Fabric Lock Fixer

The fabric lock fixes the fabric in the lead rail and the fabric shaft without shortening the fabric overhang in relation to the centre seams. Unlike expansion anchors, the Gluetex lock fixes the side seam in the middle of the welt track.

The fabric lock offers an improvement for all awning fabrics as it prevents the formation of creases at the fabric edges and reduces the strain on the hemstitch seams in the corners. The fabric lock is made of aluminium, while the clamping screw is made of stainless steel. Fabrics can therefore be released and fixed in place again at any time.

Designation:
Aluminium clamping dowel for awning hem

Properties:
Allen screw

Dimensions:
40 mm

Colour:

UltraZip

The UltraZip consists of a GtZip, i.e. a polyester zip and a bridging tape adhesive film. The bridging tape forms the connection between the zip and the fabric. The UltraZip is ideal for textiles that are guided laterally.

The UltraZip evenly stabilises laterally guided textiles to reduce the effect of the wind. In addition, our UltraSeam technology keeps the winding diameter and fabric compaction in the joining area to a minimum, as the UltraZip combines all the positive properties of the GtZip with our UltraSeam technology.

Application Areas

  • Exterior and interior hangings

  • Laterally guided hangings

  • Acrylic, screens, Soltis and many other coated fabrics

  • SPECIAL FEATURES:

  • Minimal thickening at the joint between the zip and the fabric.

SeamSealingTapes

Our SST seam sealing tapes are 2- or 3-ply adhesive tapes. A hotmelt adhesive film is applied on one side of a waterproof polyurethane membrane. Depending on the type of material that the seam sealing tape is to be bonded to, different hotmelt types and melting points can be chosen. The 3-ply seam sealing tapes have an additional nylon top layer, which is available in various colours.  

The seam sealing tapes are used to seal seams that should not be penetrated by liquids or other substances. 

Application Areas 

  • Automotive industry 

  • Outdoor clothing and backpacks 

  • Skiwear 

  • Police and emergency service clothing 

  • Waterproof shoes 

  • Tents

SeamSealingTapes

HotMeltTapes

We also specially developed the AVS for bonding sunscreen fabrics, as they are highly demanding. This product is a monofilament fabric-reinforced, double-sided hotmelt tape made of polyester polymers.

The AVS reinforces acrylic and polyester fabrics as well as fabrics with a PVC or polyurethane coating in the seam area. Because the materials are subject to significant elongation during their use, this minimises overstretching and supports elastic recovery after strain is applied. When the AVS is used, the process window for processing is much larger than with glass fibre-reinforced adhesive tapes and the seam remains elastic.

Application Areas

  • Conservatory awnings 

  • Large-sized awning fabrics

  • Conventional awnings and replacement fabrics

  • Special features

    • Easy processing in the production process.

    • Excellent elastic recovery.

    • Seam overstretching due to the roll up procedure is reduced.

    • Fabric pre-tensioning is omitted.

    • Tolerates a greater seam stretch before the seam is permanently elongated.

    • Enables production of an “elastic” seam.

    • Despite reinforcement, the seam is not thicker than a conventional sewing seam!

    Product variants

    • 10 mm tape width

    • 18 mm tape width

    • 22 mm tape width

    • Other widths available on request (10 mm to 1,200 mm)

Keder - the NEW Generation NonVi eco

The invisible and innovative welt seam in the area of textile sun protection. The welt is usually loosely inserted into the hemstitch seam. This is not the case with the NonVi Ecosˢ: the flagless half welt is sewn directly onto the edge of the fabric. The welt lies in the welt rail and possible leaks have no effect.

The now friction-locked connection disappears completely in the welt groove of the fabric shaft and/or in the existing profile and thus ensures a seamless appearance without ply jumps. The NonVi Ecos features a specially developed groove in which the thread lies in order to protect it against mechanical abrasion and other damage. This results in a lasting and strong connection between the welt and the fabric.

The NonVi Ecos consists of a PVC half welt with a groove. It is available in various sizes and can be adapted to the respective profile. By contrast, the NonVi Ecog is a bonded welt without a groove. Both products have identical properties and only differ in terms of the processing.

Application Areas

  • Textile sun protection

  • Display systems

  • Interior and exterior sun protection

  • Acrylic, screens, Soltis and other coated fabrics.

  • Sewn with a groove without adhesive film/welded without a groove with adhesive film.

  • Special features

    • The continuous connection between the NonVi Ecos and the fabric ensures tension along the entire length of the fabric and thus prevents the formation of waves.

    • By dispensing with the traditional fabric fold, the NonVi Ecog saves material.

    • The seamless transition into the profile creates an appealing appearance.

    • Even in transmitted light, there is no optical interference due to seams or double plies of material.

    • Significantly easier handling during assembly as well as time and space- saving installation.

    • The welt is bonded directly with the fabric edge to form a friction-locked unit with no further material used.

    Product variants

    • 4, 6, 7, 8 mm welt width

    • Other sizes available on request

    • With groove without adhesive film for sewing with Acryl/Polyester.

    • With groove without adhesive film for sewing with PVC.

Keder - the NEW Generation NonVi eco Flex for Tubes

The NonVi Flex is a composite consisting of a profile half welt with a hotmelt-coated fabric tape and a foam profile.During application, the fabric tape is bonded with the fabric edge of the hanging. Depending on the material, this can be carried out using bonding or sewing technology.

The flexible foam element enables simple, time and above all space-saving installation. The NonVi Flex does not have to be inserted longitudinally, rather it can be pushed directly into the groove in the fabric shaft from the wide side. The foam element produces a clamping effect in the fabric shaft, which is an enormous advantage, especially when replacing the fabric or performing an overhead installation.

Applications include connections between textiles and fabric shafts of all kinds. Processing can be carried out using ultrasonic or sewing technology, hot air, hot wedge, high frequency or thermal impulse.

Application Areas

  • Fabric shaft side of textile sun protection and other hangings.

  • Interior and exterior sun protection

  • Acrylic, polyester, screens, Soltis and other coated fabrics.

  • Bonded or sewn onto the fabric edge.

  • Special features

    • Extremely easy processing with traditional machines.

    • Because the NonVi Flex is joined directly with the fabric edge, which is then completely inserted into the profile, it ensures a seamless transition from the fabric to the profile. This creates an appealing appearance without shadowing due to double plies of fabric.

    • It is available in various sizes and suitable for virtually any profile.

    • By dispensing with the traditional fabric fold, the NonVi Flex saves material.

    Product variants

    • 4, 6, 7, 8 mm diameters

    • Other sizes available on request

    • With adhesive film for joining with acrylic/polyester

    • With adhesive film for joining with PVC

Keder - the NEW Generation NonVi eco Twin

The invisible and innovative welt seam in the area of textile sun protection. The NonVi Twin consists of two half welts with a groove. The fabric is fed between the welt halves and sewn.naht im Bereich des textilen Sonnenschutzes. Der NonVi Twin besteht aus zwei Halbkedern mit Nut. Das Gewebe wird zwischen die Kederhälften geführt und vernäht.

The NonVi Twin is highly flexible and can be used both on the fabric shaft side and in the front profile, depending on the application.

The defined fabric tension over the entire width of the fabric prevents the fabric from “shrinking”. This creates a smooth transition that ensures a clean winding behaviour. Creases are also demonstrably minimised.

Application Areas

  • Front side and fabric shaft side of textile sun protection and other hangings.

  • 4-sided processing for big banners.

  • Interior and exterior fabrics.

  • Acrylic, screens, Soltis and other
    coated fabrics.

  • Sewn onto fabric with groove.

  • Special features

    • Because the NonVi Twin is bonded directly with the fabric edge, which is then completely inserted into the profile, it ensures a seamless transition from the fabric to the profile. This creates an appealing appearance without shadowing due to double plies of fabric.

    • Using the NonVi Twin means that the traditional fold is eliminated, thus reducing material costs.

    • The welt can be optimally adapted to the welt profile as it is available in various sizes.

    Product variants

    • 4, 6, 7, 8 mm diameters

    • Other sizes available on request

    • Can be ordered in any desired colour

Keder - the NEW Generation NonVi eco G

The invisible and innovative half welt in the area of textile sun protection. Here, the flagless welt is friction-locked with the fabric and replaces the customary hemstitch seam into which the welt must be additionally inserted.

With traditionally sewn awnings, small leaks occur at the fold due to the perforation of the needle. This is completely different with the NonVi Ecog: here, the welt lies in the welt rail and possible leaks have no effect. The welt is bonded along the edge of the fabric. The friction-locked connection disappears completely in the welt groove of the fabric shaft and/or in the existing profile and ensures a seamless appearance without ply jumps.

The NonVi Ecog is made of soft PVC that can be coated according to customer requirements. It is available in various sizes and can be adapted to the respective profile.

The NonVi Ecog and the NonVi Ecos that we present on page 19 have identical properties. They only differ in terms of the processing. und der NonVi Ecoˢ, den wir auf Seite 19 vorstellen, haben die gleichen Eigenschaften. Sie unterscheiden sich lediglich in der Verarbeitung.
