ReCirX²

WATERBORNE PET COATING

Our newest innovation proves that circularity and performance can be harmonious. This waterborne PET coating not only delivers exceptional durability but also makes the entire finished textile recyclable through existing systems.

This technology is designed to be used on polyester fabrics, creating a mono-material that can be fully recycled at the end of its life. ReCirX² is built for high performance now, and a new beginning later.

Clean Chemistry

98% lower VOC emissions than standard solvent-based coatings and no intentionally added PFAS. PolyCore coatings are formulated to support compliance with EU REACH requirements and follow the ZDHC MRSL.

TECHNICAL PARTNERSHIP

We work alongside your team to develop custom fabrics tailored to your performance goals. More than a coating supplier, we are a partner, providing a transparent portfolio and support every step of the way.

TOUGHNESS THAT LASTS

ReCirX² has been tested in harsh real-world conditions and has proven its durability. Pouring rain, travel handling, and repeated roll-top use have not compromised the coating’s performance or appearance.
