SETRALIT® is an ecological and economically interesting alternative to synthetic fibers and to conventional natural fibers. The scope of applications, in which early asbestos was used, can be covered with SETRALIT®. Thus SETRALIT® is also a replacement for asbestos.

SETRALIT®-fibers can compete with conventionally won natural fibers as well as high-quality synthetic fibers, like e.g. Para Aramiden. On the contrary to conventional natural fibers the highlight of SETRALIT®-fiber is: • the high purity, • the mastering of higher thermal maximum stress, • repetitive unchanged quality.

The benefit of SETRALIT® compared to high-quality synthetic fibers, are the environmentally friendly production and the general use of the product as well as the very attractive  price/ performance ratio.

The market for fibers from regenerating raw materials are growing rapidly. A long-term goal of the ECCO is to advance in the replacement of conventional mineral and synthetic fibers by anti-toxic natural fibers in the industry without having to make thereby compromises with efficiency or quality of the fibers.

According to nova- institute, Hürth, the intensified use of fabric like material from  agrarian raw materials and commodities will have no alternatives in the future.  Bio materials, for e.g. biologically degradable and permanent bio plastics, natural fiber-strengthened plastics (NFK) and Wood plastic Composites (WPC), are  a particularly interesting new group of materials. The SETRALIT®-fiber is excellent for the reinforcement of such bio plastics, since it combines high efficiency with ecological advantages.
