From knitting to packaging, discover the manufacturing process of our FibaTape® tapes:

Step 1: Knitting
Knitting is the process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn in a controlled pattern. Yarns oriented
in the direction of machine output, along with cross directional yarns, are stitched together with a third yarn to
create a dimensionally stable, mechanical bond.

Step 2: Coating
The knitted fabric is treated with a coating that ensures dimensional stability and further enhances its features, if required (eg. Anti-mold additive). Special colors are used for each of our drywall tapes.

Step 3: Drying
The coating is heat-dried to ensure it adheres properly to the fabric.

Step 4: Gluing
An adhesive layer is added to the back of the fabric for easier, self-adhesive application.

Step 5: Formatting
Larger jumbo rolls of fabric are transferred to smaller rolls of various widths and lengths. A fully automated process guarantees consistency and precision.

Step 6: Packaging
The rolls are shrink-wrapped, labeled and packed into boxes and put on pallets. Proper packaging ensures that our products are protected during transportation and storage.
