The basis of all technical textiles are carrier fabrics, which are produced in the company’s own weaving mills. Depending on the application, the coatings are composed of several components. The result is high-quality fabrics and high-tech products that are used in almost all industries worldwide.

Materials for inflatable boats

VALMEX boat consists of a premium quality, PVC-coated special fabric that is ideally suited to extreme physical demands – making it an ideal material for dinghies, banana boats, rafts, speed boats, RIBs or lifeboats.

Boat covering

For owners to continue enjoying their boat and yachts over many years, it is important they protect them properly during time spent at berth. MehlerHeytex products for maritime use are premium-quality, coated polyester fabrics that are geared to the extreme requirements of partial or full boat coverings.

Sun protection

Bimini covers or tops are covers on yachts or boats with open sides, which are put up with a variable and usually folding carrier structure made of aluminium tubes or stainless steel tubes. The construction is more similar to a sun sail than a cover in the classic sense of the word.

It allows the wind to pass through unhindered but protects against the sun and light rain. The ability to fold it places high demands on the materials with respect to crease resistance and UV protection.
