Our experience in ceramics extending more than a 100 years, together with our ability to accomplish required surface designs for all yarn types, make us a sought-after development partner for every producer of high performance yarns.

TRIBOFIL® is our surface finish for yarn guide elements for low-tension applications and for the processing of commonly produced synthetic yarns without any yarn damage. This material has been proven worldwide and is highly rated by the circle of expertise in the industry.

A recent development is TRIBOSOFT®

TRIBOSOFT® is a new formula used for processes at low yarn tensions without any yarn damage, having long life cycles on both special yarns and raw materials containing aggressive additives such as spun-dyed yarns (spun-dyed black), CS and bioactive yarns.

TRIBOFIL® and TRIBOSOFT® provide you with:

  • Lowest possible yarn break rates
  • Highest yarn cleanliness
  • Low yarn tension
  • Excellent package build

... and, as a result, high quality and cost effectiveness.
