EnkaDrain
Drainage Composites

Composites are available in many shapes and forms and are an assembly of two or more products, combining the functions of its components into a unique new product.

The EnkaDrain product family of drainage composites comprises a polymer drainage core connected to a protective and filtering nonwoven on one or both sides. EnkaDrain can be used in a variety of horizontal and vertical applications, combining drainage, protection and filtration in one product.

Technical details

The polymer drainage core of EnkaDrain drainage composites is thermally bonded or spot welded to a protective and separating nonwoven filter on one or both sides. The core can be v-shaped or consisting of looped filaments fused where they cross. Properties regarding stiffness, discharge capacity or tensile strength vary per product type, as do the properties of the fleece. More information of the Enka technology.

Thickness varies between 4 and 22 mm. The standard EnkaDrain is available in rolls of 1 and 2 m width. The range includes fire retardant types.
