About Fulcoline

Fulcoline GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Hofbieber in eastern Hesse, is a manufacturer and supplier of coated technical textiles for trade, industry and the processing trades. The product range includes coated textiles produced individually to customer specifications as well as ready-finished tarps, covers and films (Easyplane brand). Core materials are PVC-coated textiles and the lightweight composite material BasaTexxFP, developed jointly with the research institute FILK gGmbH, made from basalt fabric with silicone or elastomer coating, which meets building material class A2-s1, d0 according to DIN EN 13501-1 and aviation standards (FAR/JAR/CS-25.853). Production is carried out using coating and roll-to-roll processes; these are complemented by digital and screen printing on banner materials as well as technical conversion. Customer industries include construction and transport, agricultural and machinery technology, aircraft construction, shipbuilding, and digital and screen printing. The warehouse is located in Eichenzell-Welkers; the company operates another warehouse via DGF Trans in Busto Garolfo, Italy.

Materials and Processes

Basalt

Basalt fiber (basalt filaments)

Inorganic high-performance fiber material used as the carrier fabric of BasaTexxFP, with high temperature resistance and tensile strength.

Silikon

Silicone coating

Inherently flame-retardant polymer with high temperature resistance for fire-protection composite materials.

Elastomer

Elastomer coating

Non-combustible coating of the basalt fabric with a waterproof, UV- and chemically resistant surface.

PVC

PVC-coated textiles

Material for tarps, banner materials (frontlit, backlit, blockout, mesh) and converted products.
