For the production of fiber-reinforced plastic profiles and plastic tubes

Our polyester-based technical nonwovens ensure that you get optimal surface coverage of your composite.

Pultrusion is a dynamic process in which the reinforcing material, after passing through a resin bath, is drawn through a tool (tempered mold) to produce a consistent product. Because the process is dynamic, inserting a surface mat is an optimal way to provide the composite with a wide range of surface properties.

End Uses:

  • composite in wind turbines
  • carrier material in manhole covers
  • pultruded profiles in chemical plant construction, window construction, building construction, lightweight construction

Our products are convincing due to:

  • high-quality surface finish
  • reduced reinforcement print through
  • elimination of surface penetration of reinforcing fibers
  • improved corrosion resistance
  • improved resistance to UV discoloration and degradation
  • surface conductivity
  • improved wear and impact resistance
  • white/black polyester based synthetic veils for general purpose GRP pultrusions
  • antistatic polyester-based synthetic veils with tailored levels of conductivity for profiles such as cable trays and ladders, mining ducts, support and access structures in petrochemical and offshore plant etc.
  • para-aramid veils for improved impact and wear resistance
  • pre-ox based veils for enhanced fire resistance
  • available in various basic weights
  • widths upon request

In addition to the enhanced properties of the pultruded profile, a synthetic surfacing veil such as those manufactured by Norafin also improves the pultrusion process itself giving:

  • reduced die wear
  • reduced pulling forces
  • increased line speeds

The use of a surfacing veil with isotropic properties also gives a significant degree of hoop strength to pultruded profiles such as tubes, 'L' sections and 'U' channels where the main reinforcement is unidirectional.
