Functional textile solutions for VAP®

Trans-Textil’s work as a functional fabric specialist involves the development and production of sophisticated textile systems for use in VAP® membrane-assisted low pressure infiltration. Our VAP® membrane systems – the central component in the VAP® approach – are continuously adapted and optimized according to differing process variables and practical requirements, whereby our broad portfolio of semi-permeable barrier layers, the choice of a suitable textile carrier and precise production control enables us to develop flexible solutions tailored to the resin system and process variants involved. Along with adaptations according to specific requirements, these special solutions broaden the range of possible uses for our patented VAP® membrane systems still further.

OEKO-TEX certificate confirms human ecology safety

With the certification of VAP® products “Made in Germany” to the latest criteria of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, Trans-Textil and Composyst once again demonstrate the high environmental standard of their vacuum infusion products. In the manufacture of our patented semi-permeable functional product CS/E, 3D ready-mades, multi-layer systems and flow media we intentionally avoid the use of polluting substances. Free of substances classified as hazardous, the products ensure a high level of process performance in the VAP® technology combined with occupational safety as well as the lowest emissions during production and use.

The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX is an international, independent testing and certification system for textile products. It certifies the human ecology safety as well as the conformity with all currently valid limit values in part far beyond the legal requirements.

Our contribution to a positive ecobalance

In addition, by using 100% recycled textile components, we we are able to further reduce unwanted impacts on people and the environment – starting with the use of verified raw materials right through to the final application.

As such, the VAP® membrane system CS/E-R acts as a bridge between process performance and a new standard in the sustainability of functional textile compounds for vacuum infusion technology.

Our technologies

State-of-the-art manufactoring technologies that are specially designed to process water-based formulation systems guarantee high “Made in Germany” quality and an efficient use of energy.

Close monitoring in cooperation with the authorities, additional voluntary environmental initiatives, certification in accordance with EN ISO 14001 and the longstanding inclusion in the Environmental and Climate Compact of the State Government of Bavaria are proof of and incentive for continuous improvement, all of which promotes sustainable practices not just at the company’s site in Bavaria, close to Berchtesgaden national park, but wherever our products are used.
