Freudenberg Performance Materials will present surfacing veils and core materials for lightweight fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) parts at JEC World Paris.
Freudenberg will also be showcasing Enka Solutions flow media and spacers for efficient vacuum infusion, resin transfer and foam injection moulding processes for applications in the composites industry, etc. at the international composites show. The company looks forward to welcoming visitors at the Baden-Württemberg International booth (stand Q71) in hall 6 from April 25-27, 2023.
Freudenberg’s solutions for the FRP industry include a variety of glass, PAN and PET nonwovens, as well as core materials for the production of lightweight fibre reinforced plastic parts. These products are designed for anti-corrosion coatings in piping and tank construction, smooth UV resistant surfaces for facade panels, and other applications for a diverse range of end products. Products made from fibre reinforced plastics must be equipped with surfacing veils to provide abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, smooth surfaces and mechanical strength. Freudenberg offers high-tech nonwovens that can meet these challenges.
Enka Solutions products are characterised by their typical 3D entangled polymeric filament structures. Thanks to this unique structure, they are exceptionally suitable as flow media and spacers when producing composite materials. Readily available solutions for VARTM, SRIM and foam moulding processes ensure the high performance of small- and large-scale complex fibre reinforced plastic parts at low cost and in one pass.
Enka Solutions flow media enable high-speed and reliable resin or foam flows throughout the composite part. Applied as a spacer in foam injection moulding processes, they push the reinforcement matting and the composite skin against the mould and hold them in place during the process, allowing for a full wetting out of glass fibre and skin.
