AerO Coated Fabrics which does Extrusion Coating and Film Extrusion was founded by 2 thermoplastics experts: Rinus Aerts who is a chemist, TPO / PVC technician and R&D expert with 40 years’ experience, and Fred Roffelsen (AeRo), entrepreneur in the Plastic Industry.
Adding this with the latest technology of a brand new, state of the art 2.200 mm wide extrusion coating calandar in 2018 and and expanded and updated during the years there, with experienced production staff, familiar with the finesses and details of extrusion coating equipment, allowed us within 3 years “to become the quality coating specialist” in Western Europe.
In March 2021 Aero Coated Fabric was purchased by CaPlast Kunststoffverarbeitungs GmbH and Fred Roffelesen then decided to retire. In April 2023, CaPlast was purchased together with Aero Caoted Fabrics by the Kingspan Group. Aero will continue to focus on R&D and special prodcution for its customers as before. We are currently busy expanding our production site and will move to a new location that is more than twice as large on the adjacent business park in 2025. The ambition for 2026 is to run a second extrusion coating calandar machine.
Supported by our own laboratory extruder, financial capacity, and specialized R&D support of CaPlast, Aero Coated Fabrics is birthplace of new coating combinations of product solutions and market developments.
We produce high end PVC and non PVC coated (technical textile) products for: dancing floors, flexible acoustic separating curtains, conveyor belts, sewage pipe renovation CIPP, concrete silo protection, pool covers, cow mattresses, solar film, rubber packings and many more coating solutions. All of which is specially developed for specific needs. Our ambition and policy guides us to support society with better solutions using recyclable materials, if possible free from plasticizers and more secure in application using flame retardant components, in combination with UV stable solutions.
Altogether, you could describe Aero Coated Fabrics as being: modern, ambitious, R&D focused, capable of offering flexibility in manufacturing Extrusion Coating and Film Extrusion, short delivery time, smaller production runs, excellent service, and use of our „expertise and experience“ to deliver the best product. Our internal motto; ‘we do it together’
That is why we dare to say: “We solve your challenge”

With our state of the art equipment we can offer the following production services
This extrusion coating is a process to direct coat a film onto a fabric / technical textiles or non-woven. The coating adds special proporties such as waterproofing, flame resistant, abrasion resistance, antislip, antistatic and printable. The coating also offers protection against wind, water, cold and chemicals.
With our latest state of the art extrusion equipment we are able to process all sorts of polymers:
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), PE (PolyEthylene), PP (PolyPropylene), TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber), PVC-P (Plasticized Poly Vinyl Chloride), EVA (EthylVinylAcetate) and other polymers and reforming it into a film or onto a fabric / technical textiles

AerO Coated Fabrics is continuously following market developments and in close contact with their suppliers of raw materials.
Waste Management and Recycling
A closed loop system is in place for waste and off cuts for most manufactured coated fabrics and non-wovens. Reducing waste is key and already very effective due to the availability of the newest technologies.
Energy Control
With the machine commissioned in 2018 we make use energy efficient technologies based on the latest developments.
Certifications and certificates
With our knowledge we can guide our clients to find the best suited institutes for material testing of specific properties of Extrusion Coating and Film Extrusion. Testing of UV resistance, gas permeability, flammability, VOC testing, waterproofing, and wicking.
The duration and costs involved in the different phases are strongly depending on the requirements.
