About AILFMA

Shaping the Future of Laminated Fabrics

All India Laminated Fabric Manufacturers Association (AILFMA), represents Laminated Fabric/Flex Banner manufacturers in India.  From 2008 when the first unit was set up in India to manufacture laminated fabric/flex banner (prior to which the country was completely dependent on imports, mainly from China), many units have been set up.  

Laminated fabric/flex banner is a three-layer laminated structure wherein the polyester fabric is sandwiched between PVC films of the top and bottom layers.

Laminated fabric/flex banner is a digitally printed advertisement which is primarily kept along the sides of the roads so as to attract the people’s attention and make a memorable impression.  It can be considered as the most used medium for outdoor advertising as it is extremely flexible, cost effective, durable, recyclable and portable.

Environment Friendly Products

Laminated fabric/flex banner clearly belongs to the category of B2B products.  After their usage, they carry an economic value as they can be reused as tarpaulin, roof covers, truck covers, rickshaw covers, food grain covers, bags, sitting mats etc.” 

Laminated fabric/flex banner is fully recyclable, wherein the constituents are separated by means of a mechanical shredding process.  The PVC compound can be utilized for flooring and the manufacture of footwear, geotextiles, etc. while the shredded polyester fabric can be used as soft fillers in mattresses and pillows.

Laminated fabric/flex banner inflammable – Lab trials, as well as international research articles, have clearly stated that PVC by itself is self-extinguishing when the source of the flame is removed. In the event of the ignition of PVC during an accidental fire, it mainly
contributes in extinguishing rather than spreading the fire.

Due to the self-extinguishing property, laminated fabric/flex banners do not sustain burning, which in turn eliminates the possibility of dioxin generation.  Even during the production, the processing temperature of PVC does not exceed 200 degrees centigrade, which is much below the threshold temperature.” The average lifetime of a laminated fabric/flex banner ranges from 6 months to 7 years.

Support of Antidumping duty continued till 2021 which enabled India to emerge as a major manufacturing hub for the domestic consumption and exports.
According to the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) launched by the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, flex banners have been placed under the category of technical textiles and extended financial subsidies.
