The constantly increasing fire protection requirements do not stop at our wool felt. We are proud that some of our felt types have been successfully tested in accordance with the highest European standard EN45545. Our wool felts are therefore used in many places in industry with increased fire protection requirements.
Do you also have applications that are subject to certain fire protection requirements? We would be happy to advise you on this topic.
It is important to Wiler Filz that the products it offers meet at least the current standards in terms of ecology and sustainability. Consequently, the Wiler Filz portfolio consists exclusively of products that comply with the Oekotex Standard 100.
The Oekotex Standard 100 is a standardized testing method for textile cover materials currently used by 12 international textile research institutes. These are tested for the presence of certain quantities of harmful substances in strict and extensive test procedures in order to expressly determine their safety for the buyer. Chemical substances which, according to the current state of scientific knowledge, are suspected of possibly having an impact on human health are taken into account.
All suppliers who use chemical products to manufacture our felts have undertaken in writing to supply only products that comply with the Oekotex Standard 100 and also fully meet the human-ecological standard required for baby products.
It is not only important to Wiler Filz that our products are mulesing-free, we also want you to understand why we attach so much importance to this. That is why we explain here what you need to know about mulesing.
Mulesing is a cruel and very painful procedure in sheep farming. The practice, which is very widespread in Australia, involves removing skin from around the tails of lambs and sheep. This skin removal is carried out completely without anesthesia. This makes mulesing particularly painful for the animals. The lambs are first restrained. Then the folds of skin around the anus, vulva and tail are cut out with sharp scissors or a hot knife. As already mentioned, this all takes place while the animals are fully conscious and fully aware of the pain. The wound is not treated any further afterwards, but is left to heal and scar on its own. No more wool then grows on this scar tissue, which remains smooth and wrinkle-free. This prevents the attraction of flies. However, the flies often settle in the untreated wound, so that the sheep is then exposed to this pain completely unnecessarily.
Wiler Filz is a member of the Swiss Textiles Association for good reason.
Swiss Textiles is made up of around 250 internationally oriented SMEs. As an association, we are committed to ensuring that our industry remains internationally competitive. We offer our members an exciting range of services and events
The conviction of SwissTextiles "Together we can do more than alone" - that is our credo. That is why we are committed to helping our members network and exchange ideas. During events, webinars and through our contact mediation. Not only within and beyond national borders, but also beyond our industry.
Another credo is: "We provide impetus". That is why we present ourselves as a forward-looking and modern association. We prefer to look to the future and help shape it, without ignoring the historical past of the Swiss textile industry.
