Polyester-based Technical Textiles for Plastic Profiles

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.
