• A number of different shapes and
designs are created and simulated to
determine which one works best
• Refining to meet EN standard
• VDT TPEs can help reach compliance
with EN1621-1 level 2 and EN1621-2
level 1
• Optimum protection can be achieved
by combining industrial design and
engineering

All the pompoms are spun-dyed from existing color formulations which can accelerate the speed to market by foregoing the color-matching process.
The new spinning line facilitates a direct assessment of a color formulation's quality and accuracy for three-color yarns and can speed up the color-matching process.
The acquisition of the new laboratory spinning line will not only help speed up the color-matching process for three-color yarns but also help produce three-color pompoms for the showroom, giving even more color illustrative options for visiting customers,” said Norbert Merklein, vice president & general manager, Europe.
