ULTImat®

ULTImat® is an advanced glass fiber reinforcement, composed of a synthetic core sandwiched between chopped glass fiber and incorporating a synthetic integrated veil.

The ULTImat® product range is assembled using Ilium’s unique and state-of-the art technology, which provides features and benefits not available from IIium’s competitors. Lightweight incorporated surface veils help to reduce fiber print in surface finish critical applications and our 50% recycled polyester flow media shows Ilium’s commitment to sustainability, without compromising product quality.

Features

  • Non-woven thermoplastic flow media between two layers of chopped glass fiber
  • Integrated lightweight polyester surface veils
  • Faster wet-out
  • Multi-resin compatibility
  • Visual improvements with reduced print-through
  • Cleaner working environment

Performance

  • Stitch-free for improved drapeability and handling
  • Unmatched inter-laminar shear strength with polyester flow media
  • Excellent cyclic loading and thermal cycling
  • Improved osmosis and chemical resistance

Advantages

  • Product is fixed without loose fibers
  • No thick overlaps in-mold
  • Excess mat removable with simple trimming
  • Clean splicing
  • Reduced default rework of finished parts
