Non-Woven Mats / Surfacing Veils: Advanced Lightweight Reinforcements for Composites
Composites are materials that consist of two or more different types of materials combined together to form a stronger and more durable material. The two most common types of composites are fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) and polymer matrix composites (PMCs). These composites are used in a wide variety of applications, from aerospace and automotive to construction and consumer products.
One of the most important components of FRPs and PMCs is the reinforcement material. The reinforcement material provides the strength and durability of the composite by distributing the load and stiffness of the matrix material. Non-woven mats, also known as Surfacing Veils, are lightweight reinforcements made from randomly dispersed glass or polyester fibers and bonded into a thin sheet. These advanced non-woven mats are ideal for composite applications due to their excellent mechanical properties and ease of use.
Composites One is a leading supplier of non-woven mats for composites. We offer a wide range of advanced non-woven mats, including surface veils, reinforcement mats, and hybrid structures. Our non-woven mats are available in various sizes, thicknesses, and weights to meet the specific needs of any composite application.
Advanced Non Woven Mats and Surfacing Veils
Our advanced non-woven mats are made from high-quality glass or polyester fibers that are randomly dispersed and bonded into a thin, lightweight sheet. These mats act as a surfacing veil, providing a smooth and uniform surface for the composite material. The non-woven mats are also used as reinforcement material, providing additional strength and durability to the composite material.
The advanced non-woven mats from Composites One are designed to meet the highest performance standards for composites. They have excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and impact resistance. The mats are also highly resistant to chemical and environmental degradation, making them ideal for outdoor and harsh environments.
Our advanced non-woven mats are easy to handle and easy to use. They can be easily cut, trimmed, and shaped to fit any application. They also have excellent conformability, allowing them to be easily molded to complex shapes and curved surfaces.
Lightweight Reinforcements for Composites
One of the most significant advantages of non-woven mats is their lightweight nature. They provide an excellent balance of strength and weight, making them ideal for applications where weight is a critical factor. The lightweight nature of the non-woven mats also makes them easy to handle and transport, reducing the labor and material costs associated with composite manufacturing.
Composites One is committed to providing the highest quality non-woven mats and surfacing veils for composites. We work closely with our customers to understand their specific needs and provide customized solutions that meet their requirements. Our advanced non-woven mats are widely used in a wide range of composite applications, including aerospace, automotive, marine, construction, and consumer products.
