Depigmentation

As the name depigmentation states, this process takes the natural pigments out of the fibre in order to obtain a remarkable lighter shade than the original material. This is of course without attacking the fibre and without a loss of the soft handle.

We can depigment in a wide variety of shades on natural speciality fibres such as cashmere, camel, yak, alpaca, .... etc.

Bleaching

The bleaching process gives a fibre a lighter shade than the original material. This process is usually for wool. Our speciality is bleaching Russian dark grey karakul wool into a wide shade range of camel. This end product is then used for the spinning of so-called "sisal-look" yarns.

Flock dyeing

Our flock dyeing plant is equipped to dye all kinds of animal, vegetable and man-made fibres on loose material, broken tops or hanks.

Feltstop

This process is a shrinkproof treatment on loose stock wool and all other animal fibres. With this treatment we obtain a machine washable and tumble dryable wool.

Our process is TM31 ( Total Easy Care ) guaranteed by The Woolmark Company.

This result is obtained by chlorination and has a permanent character.

In order to give the wool an added-value when processing, we can also offer extra treatments such as moth-proof application, Ultra-Fresh™ (anti-bacterial) application and hercosett application.

Dedusting, Blending and Baling

We can process wool or any other fibre in order to obtain a homogeneous and well packed material. With our machinery it´s possible to beat, blend, dedust, sort and open any fibre. The material can be repacked in bales or bags as to your requirements.

Fibre Recycling

Due to its location in the heart of the Belgian carpet industry, we have become specialists of collecting and recycling all kinds of wastes produced by spinners and weavers. Today we collect a major part of the All-wool or synthetic wastes in order to sort and process them.

We can offer a large variety of fibres such as All-wool worsted and woolen carpet thread wastes, pulled and cutted, polyprop waste, nylon waste, ... etc.

Many of our products are used for industries such as geotextiles, blanket producers, ... etc.
