Kulstoffibre

Kulstoffibre is a type of high-strength, low-shrinkage single-ply membrane used in various architectural applications. The name "Kulstoffibre" is derived from the German words "Kulstoff", meaning "cup fibre", and "ibre", a suffix used to indicate a type of fibre or membrane.

The material is composed of a specially designed polypropylene fibre adhered together with a thermoplastic elastomer. This unique composition allows for excellent tensile strength and resistance to deformation, making it suitable for high-density construction and waterproofing applications.

Kulstoffibre is often used in roofing and walling systems, particularly in areas prone to high winds and heavy rainfall. Its secondary water-damage prevention feature makes it a popular choice for constructions that require superior protection against water infiltration and erosion.

While the exact details regarding the manufacturer of Kulstoffibre are not publicly available, one can deduce that due to the exclusive rights of commercial use reserved by a German company in the 1990s, there might be restrictions on the worldwide manufacturing and trade of this product.

Protective coatings and facings can be applied to the surface of Kulstoffibre to further enhance its functionality and durability, while color metalizing or other finish treatments complete the appearance of the building envelope.
