Our structuration machines offer the possibility to make dilours
& rib surface modification.
Our fibre bonding techniques go from the classic latex coating to the more advanced techniques
of thermal activation of bicomponent fibres, film lamination, hot melt and powder scattering;

depending on the desired properties of the final product the appropriate technique is chosen.
Our warehouses have a surface area of over 20,000 m² where trucks can be loaded from the rear
(4 truck loading platforms are available) and from the side.
Moreover we are equipped to transport our rolls both in a vertical and horizontal way.
Our lab is well equipped to test both incoming and finished goods on various physical (strength, shrinkage,
water absorption and repellency) and chemical properties (colour fastness, etc. ) ; testing of specific flame retardancy,
hydrophobic, anti-static, O90 … properties are tested in accredited partner laboratories.
Our polypropylene related business is vertically integrated which offers control at every stage of the production
process, from raw material to finished non-woven: moreover all our operations are compliant with both

NON-WOVEN PROCESSES
Energy /
Renewable energy / In Balta Oudenaarde we have an annual production of 410 MWh solar energy per year,
representing about 8% of our energy consumption.
Audit convenant / Balta Oudenaarde participates since 2007 at the audit convenant, a screening system
for energy consumption; the implementations of the recommendations resulted in
a decrease of energy consumption of 4% in the period between 2007 and 2014.
Air emissions / Our latex line stentor is the only source of air emissions;
as a result most of the air emissions consist of water vapour.
Water intake / The latex process is the only process that uses fresh water; to limit its water intake we use
the cleaning water of the latex process to make new latex foam.
Water emissions / Only 10% of our process wastewater ends up in a water treatment plant, since 90%
of our wastewater is used to make new latex foam.
Solid waste /
10
Postindustrial Latex-free waste / 100% recycled (15% internal and 85% external material recycling).
Postindustrial latex-bonded waste / 100% external recycling (conversion into energy).
Packaging waste / 100% material recycling.
PRODUCTS
% recycled content / Our products have on average 30% post industrial waste content.
All our raw materials & process aids / 100% reach compliant.
CLOSED LOOP PROGRAMS
We are proud to announce that in 2015 the first closed loop programs will be launched
with post industrial waste of 2 partner customers.

ROOFING
TILE UNDERLAYS
WALL COVERING FELT
ANTICONDENSATION
FELT FOR METAL ROOFS
Important issues in metal roof construction:
• Ventilation
• Moisture management
which is expressed in absorption
and/or in drainage capacity.
SOUND INSULATION
Our non-woven products have been
engineered to reduce impact noise from
walking, the dragging of chairs or the
dropping object. Our felt isolates hard
surface floors from the subfloor and is
designed for: Corporate offices, Education,
Hotel/resort residential (dry or wet rooms).
Our wall backing non-woven range are
engineered to be laminated with paper wall
cover by powder or hotmelt coating.
They are used for covering bands & cracks
in wall and ceiling.
These products also comprise very high
acoustic performance: ∆Lw 18 dB to 20 dB*
(final result dependent on glue ). High
performing but also easy to handle & very
light weight (whilst provided in rolls or tiles),
our products do not significantly increase
the floor level.
With non-woven backing felt the end
product offers a lot of advantages:
• Breathable
• Cover deep cracks
• Sound reduction
(absorption is function of weight)
• Avoids cold walls, reduces condensation
These products are polyester 100% so
suitable for allergy-sufferers.
• Materials: polyester, hydrophobic polyester
• Weight: from 100g/m² up to 500g/m²
• Construction: needle punched, calendered
• Thickness: from 0.5mm to up to 20 mm
