The mat consists of cut and non-oriented E-glass filaments, which are provided with a silane size. The filaments are bonded to one another by means of a powdery, polyester based mat binder that is easily soluble in styrene. The processing takes place in the known contact or continuous processes. The mat is suitable for UP, EP and vinyl ester resins.

Long fiber stitched mat offers extreme tensile and tear strength and is therefore ideal for all processes under pressure such as vacuum and injection processes resp. pressing as well as for the winding process and pultrusion. Thanks to the fibers, which are up to 40 cm long, the technical properties of the moulded part are absolutely comparable with those of a pre-fabricated part made with continuous mats and even superior due to the more homogeneous and stable bond. Due to the lack of a binder system and the universal fiber size processing can be carried out with all known resin systems.

Vacuum and injection processes, pressing or winding process and pultrusion. Due to the stitching of the fibres, the technical properties of the moulded part are absolutely comparable to those of a finished part produced with continuous mats and are even superior due to the more homogeneous and stable bond.

The needled glass mat can be draped extremely well, even in pronounced beads, corners and edges. Resin-rich, unreinforced zones are reliably prevented. The tensile and tear strength is effectively supported by the mesh fabric. It is suitable as well for open processing as also for all closed processes. Needled area products are particularly predestined for mould and model making. All known resin systems can be used for processing.

Despite a relatively low specific weight, carbon fibres (carbon filament yarns) offer high strength and stiffness. They are chemically largely inert, electrically conductive, thermally stable, infusible, biocompatible and permeable to X-rays. The structure of the fibre is similar to graphite. Carbon fibres are used for components that have to withstand enormous loads.

Textile glass fabrics are woven products of continuous E-glass yarns with a silane sizing. The glass yarns are spun yarns without or with a slight twist. They have excellent impregnability and drapability. Suitable for contact and continuous processes.

The glass yarns are spun yarns with no or slight twist. They have excellent impregnating properties and drapeability. Suitable for contact or continuous processes.

Roving fabrics are flat glass fibre products made by weaving multiple roving strands together. They find their main use in large and high-strength fibreglass products such as boats, railway carriages, storage tanks and architectural structures.

These scrims are produced on stitch-bonding machines by laying warp or weft threads (0° or 90° arrangement) of the direct rovings parallel to each other and sewing them.

Multiaxial fabrics are produced on stitch-bonding machines by stitching at least two thread layers together at specific angles to each other (0°/90°/+45°/-45°) using a PES sewing thread. Compared to woven fabrics, multiaxial products have many advantages: fast wetting of the fibres, lower resin consumption, easy handling remains stable during cutting, weight saving due to higher glass content in the component and higher quality surface due to lower fibre imprints.

MULTIAXIAL FABRICS are made on stitchbonding machines by sewing at least two thread layers at certain angles to each other with a PES sewing thread. The scrim can also be combined with a glass mat before sewing, which enables additional reinforcement in one step during subsequent processing.

The combined mat is made by sewing a roving fabric with cut, non-oriented E-glass filaments. The combination of roving fabric with mat combines the properties of the individual components and thus saves one work step.

Triple combination consists of roving fabric with two layers of cut roving (length 50 mm), sewn with polyester threads. It was developed for the production of glass fiber reinforced plastics (laminates). The use of a silane binder makes the triple combination compatible with polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resins.

Aramid fibre, also known as Kevlar® or Twaron, is a man-made organic polymer produced by spinning a solid fibre from a liquid chemical mixture. The light golden yellow filaments produced can have a range of different properties, but all have high strength and low density in common.

Peel ply fabrics are flat products made of PA6.6 fibres in plain weave or twill weave with blue or red identification threads, which are often used in vacuum infusion. Due to the cleaning and heat treatment of the PA6.6 fibres, the surface is very clean and the fabric is resistant to high stresses. This results in a perfect material for stripping hardened GRP surfaces. The main application is in the composite manufacturing processes.

The Compoflex products are breathable, microporous formwork materials. They are designed to replace consumables in composite manufacturing. Compoflex® offers direct advantages in the manufacturing process.

The distance nonwoven XX is mat of high quality PP fibers. Thanks to a special manufacturing technology it has a high dry tensile strength with good deformability at the same time. It is free of binders and can therefore be used universally. It is ideally suited as a core layer in sandwich constructions that are processed in processes “under pressure” such as RTM or pressing. The open-pored structure creates resin channels through which the matrix is distributed very fast throughout the sandwich – even in strong contours.

This copyable nonwoven is suitable for laser printers and copiers. You can use it to produce type plates / security labels / product labels easily and inexpensively without having to order large print runs. The nonwoven labels are simply copied or printed and laminated as required – absolutely forgery-proof and therefore also ideal for reliable identification of your products. e.g. against cheap imports.

Viledon core layer nonwoven /Core material is made from foamed hollow microbeads and interspersed with short fibers. After impregnation with polyester resin, the nonwoven becomes smooth and deformable. It is used as core layer in fiberglass-polyester laminates, which stiffen them considerably. Due to the air contained in the hollow beads, only a small amount of polyester resin is required in relation to the laminate thickness.

Fibertex - Breatex™ saves time and money. Breatex™ is made from high quality PET fibers and does not contain any binding agents. Thanks to the uniform, open-pored construction, the vacuum is evenly distributed over the entire width of the component.

Crio is a structural foam that is characterized by its low thermal conductivity. Thanks to the special formulation and the used special type of foaming agent, energy savings of up to 20% are achieved. Crio consists of a cross-linked, high-density polymer structure. It has a high resistance to styrene and is suitable for use in polyester, epoxy and vinyl ester resins. The fine foam structure guarantees not only excellent thermal, but also excellent mechanical properties, as well as high dimensional stability.

These rigid foam sheets are produced by means of a special extruder in which a blowing agent is added after the granulate has melted in the extruder. After the foam skins have been removed, the product is shaped by sawing and grinding to its final appearance. 3D|Core is particularly suitable for the vacuum infusion process and as a core layer for voluminous composite parts.

Embedded in two layers of glass fibre mat, the innovative polypropylene needlefelt core with high cavity and good restoring force ensures optimum adaptation of the sandwich to the moulded part geometry. Flowmat Free-Flow® was specially developed for processing in closed processes such as RTM, RTML, SRIM or vacuum technology and is particularly recommended for highly filled or highly viscous resin systems. For fire protection applications, the voluminous core is also available in a special knitted glass fibre fabric.
