New technology improves abrasion resistance and resistance to contact heat

摘要

The new ceraspace technology from Schoeller Textil AG, Sevelen/Switzerland, displays 3 times higher abrasion resistance than that of leather and additionally is extremely resistant to contact heat. The new technology owes its very good protective properties to a unique composition of special ceramic particles anchored in a polymer matrix. The special ceramic particles are nearly as hard as diamonds and are firmly attached as a 3-dimensional coating to the textile. A textile with ceraspace performs significantly better than high quality leather in terms of abrasion (it wears out significantly slower in the Schopper Abrasion tester - tested with abrasive paper P280 grid).
