EMS-GRILTECH is a Business Unit of EMS-CHEMIE AG with corporate offices, research and development, technical service centre and production facilities located in Domat/Ems, Switzerland. Additional production plants and technical service centres are located in Neumünster, Germany and Sumter, SC (USA). Further sales offices and customer service labs are located in Osaka, Japan and Hsin Chu, Taiwan.
All our core products are developed and produced in our own facilities.
GRILTEX are hotmelt adhesives based on Copolyamides and Copolyester, which are available in granules or powder form. GRILON, NEXYLON and NEXYLENE are technical fibers based on PA 6, PA66, CoPA, CoPES and PPS. With our extensive know-how in polymer technology we are able to develop new hotmelt adhesives and fibers for wide-ranging fields of application.
Specially designed hotmelt adhesives are used in a wide range of applications such as automotive, filtration, home textiles, apparel interlinings, packaging, transfer labels and medical. The development of new polymers creates opportunities to enter new markets for hotmelt adhesives outside the field of textiles.
Metal, glass, PVC and other even surfaced materials are examples of new applications where thermoplastic hotmelt adhesives are used. Our products fulfil all requirements for environmental compatibility, recycling and fast process cycle times. FDA approval as well as REACH conformity are added benefits of our Griltex products.
The brand name GRILON stands for an extensive range of fibers based primarily on polyamides. Our high resistant fibers are extensively used for the manufacture of Paper Machine Cloth (PMC). Melt bonding fibers made out of CoPA or CoPES, as either full profile or as bicomponent fiber, are an outstanding specialty and are used in a vast range of applications. The fine count fibers have a very soft textile touch and are used for apparel interlinings and for textile spun yarns. For carpets, spun dyed fibers with a coarser count are preferred. A wide range of colours is possible. The advantages of spun dyed (solution dyed) fibers are easier processing and better colour fastness compared to stock-dyed fibers, which are immersed in a dyebath.
The brand name NEXYLON stands for PA66 fibers, which are specifically used in the abrasives market. PA 66 fibers show a high resistance against cleaning agents and chemicals as well as very good abrasion resistance. Their high tenacity is beneficial during manufacturing and in the final application. The high chemical resistance is a requirement for battery separators.
High temperature resistant polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) Nexylene fibers are the preferred choice for hot gas filtration. Highly efficient filter constructions are possible with this new amorphous PPS fiber.
