This year’s Composites Europe show will see the launch of a new product in Scottish technical textiles manufacturer Scott & Fyfe’s Polymat Range. Polymat Free-Flow is a mechanically stitch bonded reinforcement fabric consisting of a needle bonded core sandwiched between chopped glass fibres, which will increase the product range offered by Scott & Fyfe to the closed mould market.

According to Scott & Fyfe, along with Polymat Hi-Flow, Polymat Free-Flow will create solutions to companies seeking an ideal reinforcement for moulding GRP parts using closed mould techniques.

Polymat Free-Flow is said to offer a number of benefits including high conformability to complex shapes along with ease of handling and cutting. The company claims it also has good elongation in all directions and provides an excellent surface finish, which it says is a must have for moulders manufacturing cosmetic parts.

In addition to Polymat Free-Flow, Scott & Fyfe will be exhibiting current product ranges including Polymat Hi-Flow, T-RIM, woven rovings, stitch woven combination fabrics and unidirectional woven combination fabrics.
