Marc Krauth, Vice President Sales & Marketing said: “Colback Profloor is the result of a major R&D program we carried out in close cooperation with leading carpet tile producers. With this week’s launch we will make the product available to a wider group of customers.” The new backing delivers benefits during carpet manufacture and service life. Examples include enhanced tuftability, stitch holding performance and process behavior contributing to increased process efficiencies, further improved carpet appearance and superior dimensional stability of the finished carpet tile.

Ludwig Cammaert, Design & Technical Development Manager Business Carpets, said: "Desso has already chosen Colback Profloor because of its superior technical performance. It offers a significant improvement in the dimensional stability of carpet tiles with economic advantages too."
 
Marc Krauth concluded: “Colbond creates and delivers value added technical textiles to the carpet industry. Innovation and long-term customer relationships are vital to our growth strategy. The Colback Profloor project illustrates this commitment and the next development programs are already well underway.”
