Our story

Baltex is the leading producer of knitted fabrics for rubber reinforcement in Europe. With over 30 years of experience in this field, we have a wide range of fabrics for hose, diaphragm and seals. We principally produce fabrics in Polyester, Meta-Aramid and Polyamide.

Thanks to our fabrics, the aerospace hoses are stronger, more durable, perform better and can resist a wide range of temperature variations. Baltex has many years of experience in developing fabrics that suit the needs of the aerospace industry.

Our fabrics

Our knitted fabrics provide excellent reinforcement for rubber products used in aerospace applications. The open construction of the knit allows the rubber to fully penetrate the fabric, creating a strong mechanical bond when cured. This leads to hoses, seals and diaphragms that are robust and resistant to high pressures, temperatures and fatigue.

Polyester is often used for its high strength and stiffness. Meta-Aramid fibres like Nomex are naturally flame resistant, maintaining strength at elevated temperatures. Polyamide provides good abrasion resistance. By blending different yarns and using special knit structures, we can customise the fabric properties for each application.

Baltex`s rubber reinforcement fabrics have Boeing and Airbus approval.
