AGATEX will be present at the 65th Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress (Dornbirn GFC) 2026 with a table top exhibit.

Our focus will be on our full portfolio of spin finishes and process auxiliaries for the fiber and nonwovens industry — from classic textile applications to technical and hygiene nonwovens.

Our solutions support:

• optimal fiber processing through controlled friction, antistatic performance, and cohesion
• textile applications in yarn and filament production
• technical nonwovens for automotive, filtration, geotextiles, industry & construction
• hygiene nonwovens with the highest requirements for skin compatibility and fluid management

At our booth, we will be showcasing:

• LAMBAFIL® – spin finishes & fiber preparations
• LAMBAFIL® – hydrophilic finishing agents
• LAMBAPHOB® – PFAS-free hydrophobic finishing agents
• LAMBAFELT® – antistatics
• LAMBATOL® – wetting agents
• LAMEX® – defoamers
• CABERTEX® – flame retardants & functional finishes

Visit us at table and discuss your specific applications with our team — from fiber to textile, technical, and hygiene nonwovens.

1. LAMBAFIL® spin finishes for man-made fibers (PET, PP, PA and others)

Spin finishes for filament and staple fiber processes, tailored to polyester, polypropylene, polyamide and further polymers. Development follows process reality: filament cohesion and friction behaviour, antistatic performance, thermal stability on godets and heated elements, drawing behaviour, and clean processability in texturing, carding and downstream operations. The standard range is complemented by customer-specific formulation development.

2. LAMBAFIL® hydrophilic finishes for man-made fibers and nonwovens

Durable and temporary hydrophilic finishes for applications where liquid uptake and distribution determine product performance – hygiene and medical nonwovens, filtration, technical nonwovens. The focus is on reproducible wettability across multiple insults, low yellowing tendency, and stable performance in spunbond, meltblown and carding/thermobonding processes.

3. LAMBAPHOB® hydrophobic finishes – PFAS-free

Water- and oil-repellent finishes without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. With European PFAS restrictions advancing, substitution is no longer a future question for many producers but a live project on a deadline. LAMBAPHOB® is our answer: fluorine-free hydrophobic finishing with a robust property profile for technical textiles and nonwovens – including hands-on support during the changeover phase in the plant.

4. LAMBAFIL® R – finishes for mechanically recycled fibers

The product line currently occupying us most. Mechanically recycled fibers are shorter, more heterogeneous and mechanically more sensitive than virgin fibers – which shows up in tearing, carding and web formation as fiber breakage, short fiber content, dust and unstable slivers.

Less fiber damage means higher yield, better yarn and web quality, and calmer machinery. At the Table Top we are happy to walk you through how the series is structured and which grade suits which input stream.

5. LAMEX® defoamers for fiber production, spunlace and rPET washing

Foam is rarely a headline item in plant engineering – and frequently the reason a line does not run at rated capacity. LAMEX® defoamers are formulated for the aqueous circuits of fiber and nonwoven production: spunlace water circuits including filtration, finish baths in fiber manufacturing, and the washing stages of rPET processing. The criteria are fast knockdown, sustained foam control at low dosage, and compatibility with the remaining process chemistry.

6. LAMBATOL® washing agents for rPET flake and chip washing

The quality of rPET is decided in the wash. LAMBATOL® washing agents are designed to remove label adhesives, oils, greases and residues from the post-consumer stream – with controlled foaming and good rinsability. The objective is a flake or chip that delivers no surprises in extrusion and re-spinning.
