Materials and Products

Aramid

Aramid belongs to the latest group of chemical fibres. Its special capabilities are a highstrength, a high E-modulus, a low density as well as a good acceptance to work. That’s why Aramid is excellent to use in different fields of industry, as already used in fibre compound materials of high demanded parts of aviation and astronautics, for vehicle-,electric- and sport article-industry, and last but not least for ballistic protection.

Carbon

Carbon fibres (also called carbon fibres or carbon) are industrially produced fibres from carbon-containing raw materials which are converted into graphite-like carbon by pyrolysis. A carbon fiber has a diameter of about 5-8 micrometers. Usually 1,000 to 50,000 individual fibres (filaments) are combined to form a roving, which is wound on spools.

Glass Fibre

E-glass fibre is the most common reinforcing material for fibre composites; glass fibres are inexpensive and have excellent mechanical, thermal, dielectric and chemical properties. The strength properties are similar to those of metals (e.g. aluminium alloys), although the specific weight is lower than that of metals. Glass fibres are non-combustible, temperature-resistant up to approx. 700 °C and resistant to most chemicals and weather influences.

Basalt and other natural fibres

Basalt is a dark grey to black, dense, medium-grained, volcanic rock. The basalt fibre is a 100% inorganic, mineral, continuous filament, which was only released for civil use in 1995. The size of the diameter of 11.0 µm guarantees the best compromise between stability, durability and cost. Furthermore, the fibre has a natural gold-brown colour, which can be used for decorative purposes.

Polyester and other synthetic fibres

The polyester fibres are available in many different colours, from bright colours to gold and silver. Polyester has a temperature resistance of about 180°C. 

Hybride

Hybride is defined as „something bundled, crossed, or mixed“. In braiding technology terms we speak here of sleeves or tapes, produced from no less than 2 different materials, i.e. carbon and aramid. Materials ratio can vary depending on the equipment used. Hybrides‘ ratio can be as much as 10:90.

Electrical Insulating Sleeves

An insulating sleeve is intended to protect, protect against electrical voltage / current, such as heat, cold, radiation, friction, chemicals, salt water, acids, alkalis, high voltage. Sometimes several factors come together such as protection against alkalis and acids and high temperatures.

Fibreglass Sleeves

Fibreglass sleeves for insulation with various coatings and silicones or thermically rounded.

PVC Sleeves

PVC sleeve manufactured according to DIN 40621, with heat class A (up to +105°C).
