BAFATEX produces ultralight laid scrims from approx. 3 g/m² made of glass, carbon, aramid and polyester that fix rovings and composite layers in rotor blades, prepregs, vehicle parts and sports equipment.
To the product advisor →In composite semi-finished products, the scrim fixes rovings and fibre layers and improves handling. Ultralight polyester scrims start at approx. 3 g/m².
The scrim holds glass or carbon rovings in position until they are impregnated with resin in the rotor blade.
In lightweight aircraft seats, the scrim fixes rovings with minimal additional weight.
As a carrier layer, the scrim stabilises pre-impregnated fibre layers during cutting and lay-up.
A light scrim gives semi-finished products dimensional stability for further processing.
For wound GRP pipes and components, the scrim improves the handling of the fibre layers.
Automotive suppliers use BAFATEX scrims in interior and underbody parts. The scrim makes processing faster and more stable.
Scrim-reinforced underbody panels remain dimensionally stable at low weight.
In door panels, the scrim stabilises composite and moulded parts.
A scrim layer gives the headliner dimensional stability during processing and in the vehicle.
In acoustic parts, the scrim holds insulation layers together. Building acoustics are covered under Building & Flooring.
In sport, stability at low weight is what counts. Laid scrims reinforce sail laminates, skis and other sports equipment.
In high-performance sail laminates, a triaxial scrim absorbs forces from several directions.
In ski and sandwich construction, the scrim stabilises the layers with minimal additional weight.
Other composite sports equipment is also reinforced with light scrims.
Ultralight polyester scrims start at approx. 3 g/m². This lets them fix rovings and fibre layers without making the component noticeably heavier.
Non-crimp fabrics are heavy, stitched fibre layers that carry the load themselves in load-bearing composite components. BAFATEX laid scrims are light, open grids whose yarns are bonded at the crossing points. They serve as a carrier and stabilising layer, for example to fix rovings.
The diagonal weft yarns help release trapped air from carbon layers and distribute forces in several directions.
BAFATEX uses PVAC or SB based binders and matches them to the customer's resin system.
In addition to glass and polyester, BAFATEX processes carbon, aramid (Kevlar®, Technora®) and Nomex® for flame-retardant applications.
