Freudenberg Performance Materials will showcase its high-performance textile and nonwoven solutions for the composites industry at JEC World in Paris from March 4-6.

Composite manufacturers will have the opportunity to discuss solutions for optimising resin infusion and foam injection moulding processes wit experts, focusing on the unique 3D polymeric filament structures used in EnkaSolutions flow media and spacers. With this technology, manufacturers benefit from a marked improvement in both quality and efficiency.

In vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, composites manufactured using EnkaSolutions flow media have a superior bond and enhanced mechanical properties, which significantly reduces the risk of wrinkling and defects in final products. The media ensures rapid and reliable resin distribution for full wet-out of the internal structure while keeping glass fibre reinforcement nettings and component surfaces precisely in place.

EnkaSolutions spacers can also contribute to faster production cycles and reproducible high-quality finished products.

Nonwoven surfacing veils are meanwhile employed as anti-corrosive coatings in piping and tank construction and UV-resistant facade panels, providing abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, smooth surfaces and enhanced mechanical strength in final components.

As one of the world’s leading nonwoven manufacturers, Freudenberg’s portfolio of technologies is well suited to meeting the different needs of composite part manufacturers, with a wide variety of technical capabilities for combining glass, PAN and PET, in fibre or filament form, using wetlaid, drylaid or spunbond processes.

Freudenberg experts will welcome JEC World visitors at stand P82.5 of the Baden-Württemberg International joint pavilion in Hall 6.
