Laid scrim for tarpaulins, films and covers

The backbone for tarpaulins and films

BAFA® laid scrims reinforce PVC and PE tarpaulins and films – for trucks, tents and halls, agriculture, pools and advertising. Both films bond through the open grid, and the diagonal weft threads increase tear propagation resistance.

Why a laid scrim

Neither woven nor knitted: the threads are laid and bonded at every crossing point – the grid stays dimensionally stable.

Strength where it is needed: warp and diagonal threads distribute the load and stop tears from spreading.

Tailor-made: yarn, spacing, width and binder matched to your product and line, from sample to series production.
