calibrated fibres materials

  • Close-up of filament carbon fiber bobbin.

    Carbon

    has several advantages including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion.

  • Close-up of a filament basalt fiber bobbin.

    basalt

    Natural mineral sourced, has benefits such as good tensile strength, non-toxic, resistant to UV, impact resistant, high temperature tolerance (-260 - 700 °C) and more economic than carbon, Kevlar and glass fibres.

  • Close-up of a natural flax filament fiber bobbin.

    Flax

    Plant based locally sourced fibre, is a sustainable alternative in composites. Is biodegradable, cost with has good mechanical properties, high specific stiffness, easy processability, and low density.

  • Close-up of a glass fiber filament fiber bobbin.

    Glass

    Glass made has comparable mechanical properties to other fibres such as polymers and carbon fibre.

  • A gray background with a large white question mark in the center.

    New Fibre

    We can also adapt and calibrate our process and equipment to any fibre you are currently using or you are interested in. Reach out to us for more information.
