varitess® is the ideal substrate for high-quality and easy-to-use wallcoverings:

• dimensionally stable
  • paste the wall or paste the wallcovering
  • no soaking time
• high strengths
  • bridges small cracks
  • overlap and double-cut
  • completely strippable
• high vapour permeability
• very lightproof
• free of glass fibres
• high volume
• nonwoven character

An extensive product range was developed and optimized for the different methods of manufacturing wallcoverings, such as for example, coating or screen printing, rotogravure printing, flexo-printing, surface printing, embossing...

In principle, varitess® can be processed like paper to produce wallcoverings. Possible differences to conventional papers:

• Some varitess® grades have less opacity
• Nonwovens contain synthetic fibres. Due to their composition and surface characteristics, these are less integrated, which may lead to fibre build-up during processing.

After coating, varitess® can be dried at temperatures up to 230°C. Embossing stability is improved by applying heat onto the web, e.g. 100 – 130°C

varitess® can be printed using screen printing, rotogravure printing, flexo printing, surface printing or digital printing.

varitess® is preferably supplied in the standard widths used in the wallcovering industry.

Standard basis weights: 30 to 200 g/m²

Colours: white; on request, varitess® can also be produced in colour.
