PVC cord

Different types of keder cord are used for securely fastening and tensioning tarpaulins and technical textiles in compatible profiles. The cord creates a connection between the fabric edge and the rail system, allowing the material to be attached neatly and evenly.

The range includes round, solid flexible PVC keder cord and flat PVC keder. These versions differ in shape, dimensions and processing method, making them suitable for different fabric and profile systems.

Applications

In sailmaking, sign production, sun protection and technical textile fabrication, these materials are used for securing fabrics in rails and profiles. They are suitable for banners, textile frames, protective covers and other fabric constructions requiring secure and neatly finished fastening.

What should you consider?

Check the cord diameter or profile dimensions in relation to the rail and fabric thickness. Consider flexibility, fastening method and required tension. Round and flat keder versions are not automatically interchangeable.

Processing and use

Cut the keder cord to the required length and attach it to the fabric edge. Round keder cord is generally incorporated into a sewn or welded hem, while flat keder is attached along the fabric edge. Insert the finished keder into the corresponding profile and check that the fabric is held evenly.
