FLEXmat

Ilium Composites has adapted its versatile production capability to innovate a unique random renforcement which offers unprecedented, flexible and cost effective solutions for the pultrusion industry.

The range consists of a layer of randomly oriented long glass fibers between two layers of integrated veil. It is light in weight  and high in strength.

 

FLEXmat options include:

  • FLEXmat SF - Random long glass fiber mat with integrated veil available in any weight greater than 225g/m2
  • FLEXmat Plus -    Mechanically bonded secondary surface veil
  • FLEXmat Ultra -     Including weft UD or biaxial for highly structural parts

 

Recommended processes: Pultrusion, Continuous Lamination 

Advantages

  • No chemical binders - Ilium uses a mechanical binding system to achieve product stability. Wet out is fast and the product has no accumulation of loose fibers at contact points

  • Efficient application saves time and resources. Incorporating mechanically bonded veil and reinforcement options saves time, reduces drifting and improves process efficiency

  • Integrated veil offers better visual appearance and improved chemical and osmosis resistance

  • High quality, flexible and cost effective alternative to existing pultrusion reinforcements

Product Optimization

  • Customer specified weight and width 
  • All products can include additional continuous reinforcement for highly structural parts (Select Weft UD  or biaxial). The reinforcement becomes an integral element ensuring ease of use without issues of alignment or drifting 

        Weft UD weight - 120g/m2

          Biaxial 45± custom weight

  • Surface veil can be added without stitch or chemical binder to improve print-through and chemical resistance
