COMPANY
   
 
 
 
 
Since the middle of the 20th century BAFATEX, now in the 3rd generation, contributes to manufacture final products of different branches more efficiently or even improve their quality.

In 1954 Wilhelm Bellingroth, founder of the company, invented a process where warp and weft yarns are not mechanically connected, but only cross each other.
Subsequent fixing at the crossing points is achieved with binders. The production of BAFA®-laid scrims has been developed to the advancement in today's technology and carefully adapted to the continuously changing requirements of various areas of applications.

Modern specialty machines of proprietary design fabricate high grade products that always comply with latest quality requirements. The dedicated staff of about 20 people is engaged in realising your idea of making BAFA®-laid scrims a marketable product.
Solving problems individually, flexibility and short communication channels are key qualities that enable a purposeful and quick adaptation of the final product to your requirements.

BAFA® is a registered trade mark of BAFATEX
BAFATEX holds the certificate of quality DIN EN ISO 9001:2000-12

Welcome to the world of BAFA®-laid scrims.

What are scrims?
Laid scrims are delicate yarn constructions that strengthen, reinforce and stabilise products. In product improvements and process innovations, you will find BAFA®-laid scrims more and more frequently.

What makes BAFA®-scrims something special?
Unlike wovens and rectangular fabric constructions, BAFA®-laid scrims consist of diagonally crossed threads that are neither woven nor knitted at the crossing points, but are laid and fixed with binders. BAFA®-laid scrims have a characteristically diagonal 6- to 10-directional yarn arrangement. This provides a higher tensile strength for load bearing. Scrims are used where woven fabrics are oversized and knitted constructions are too malleable due to their mesh-structure.

This is the material from which grocery potato bags and wind turbine blades are made.
This is significant for BAFA®-laid scrims. You find them everywhere but you are rarely aware of them as they are mostly invisible. Laid scrims are delicate yarn constructions that strengthen, reinforce and stabilise products. In product improvements and process innovations, you will find BAFA®-laid scrims more and more frequently.

BAFA® can do what you want in order to meet your needs.
BAFA® functions exactly to your wishes. We customise our product to your specifications. You decide whether your scrim is biodegradable, inflammable, recyclable, high tenacity, hydrophobic,low-shrinkage, UV resistant, corrosion-resistant and/or water resistant; or whatever your requirements are. You choose the kind of yarn from various natural or man-made fibres as well as the construction, the characteristics and the behaviour of the binder. You can also decide if you just want our scrim “plain” or BAFA®-laid scrim with a non-woven on one side or even on both sides. Moreover it’s your choice of the weight for the non-woven.

Our best advice will be included.
