Pontacol Cox997 paves the way for a circular economy of textiles
Pontacol Cox997 is a new CoPolyamide adhesive film with 80% renewable raw materials and an 80% reduced CO2 footprint compared to petroleum-based adhesive films. Polyamide/nylon textiles that are bonded with CoPolyamide films can directly be melted and reused.
Our range of high-quality adhesive films for clothing and technical textiles contributes significantly to increasing the quality and lifespan of the end products, meaning they can be used for longer and therefore generate less waste. However, it is inevitable that certain materials will end up as waste or unusable residue at the end of life, which is why recycling plays a crucial role.
Textiles made from artificial fibers that are bonded with adhesive films of the same polymer base can be directly shredded, melted and recycled back into the fiber manufacturing process as granules.

Laminates that are made of different materials and have been bonded with Pontacol adhesive films can be separated again by exposure to temperature and individually fed into the recycling process.
In addition to the outstanding recyclability of thermoplastic adhesive films, Pontacol is intensively committed to the development of new films with a reduced CO2 footprint or made from renewable raw materials.
