From mussel ropes to mycelium panels
Switching to bio‑based rope increases mussel growth by 85%
Patent‑pending biopolymer system that’s redefining what sustainable performance looks like.
Crafted from a powerful blend of polylactic acid (PLA) and next‑generation biopolyesters, the newly created bio-rope delivers all the strength and durability you expect—without the environmental compromise.
High‑performance. Cost‑effective. 100% biobased. Biodegradable. Compostable.

Hard‑Coated Polycarbonate Panels — Powered by Centexbel Expertise
At Centexbel, we're not just textile experts—we translate our know‑how seamlessly to other materials.
And the result speaks for itself.
Centexbel & Zweko: Together, we developed a UV‑cured hard‑coated polycarbonate sheet that fully meets the ECE R43 standard, making it ideal for outdoor applications where abrasion resistance is critical—think sand, windshield wipers, and tough environmental exposure.
Unlike traditional heat‑cured coatings, our UV‑cured system uses significantly less energy, delivering durability and sustainability in one go.
And the winning formula?
Crafted in close collaboration with Centexbel’s coating specialists.
Biobased Coatings by Centexbel — Elevating 100% Circular Mycelium Panels
At Centexbel, we don’t just innovate in textiles—we bring our surface‑coating expertise to any material that needs a smart, sustainable upgrade.
Together with Mogu, we enhanced their fully circular mycelium‑based panels with a spray‑applied intumescent coating developed by our Centexbel team.
The result?
A largely biobased, melamine‑free, sprayable fire‑protective coating that enables the panels to pass the ISO 11925 (30s) flame test and reach a B‑s2 or even B‑s1 rating in a mini SBI setup.
Sustainable materials, upgraded performance — powered by Centexbel’s coating innovation.

High‑Performance Bike Saddles — Reinvented with Centexbel Embroidery Technology
At Centexbel, we turn textile mastery into material innovation.
Our team has developed a next‑generation composite bike saddle using advanced technical embroidery techniques—proving once again that our expertise goes far beyond fabrics.
By precisely placing fibers exactly where strength, flexibility, and comfort are needed, we create a lightweight, durable, and performance‑driven saddle that pushes composite engineering to the next level.
Braiding for Technical Applications? Centexbel Has the Expertise
Centexbel doesn’t just work with textiles — we master high‑performance technical yarns and turn them into advanced braided structures.
From precision fiber placement to robust, lightweight constructions, our braiding capabilities unlock new possibilities for composites, protection, mobility, and industrial applications.
Complex materials. Tailored structures. High‑tech braiding — powered by Centexbel.
