Scott & Fyfe, a leading designer and producer of technical textiles, will exhibit its latest innovations at the JEC World composite show and conference that takes place from 8-10 March in Paris.

The company will be promoting the next generation of Polymat FR, an all glass core mat for high performance fire retardant applications.

The product is said to offer improved resin flow characteristics, high conformability and ability to meet the highest level of fire performance such as EN45545-2 making it highly suitable for the rail industry, according to the manufacturer.

Reinforcements

Polymat FR is a stitch bonded 3-dimensional reinforcement fabric consisting of a novel knitted glass core sandwiched between two layers of chopped strand E-glass fibre. This product is designed for fire resistant parts produced using close moulding processes such as RTM, RTML, SRIM & Vacuum Infusion.

Some application areas for the Polymat FR include rail interiors, bus parts, ship building, electrical housings, fire resistant panels, and building products.

In addition, the company will also be showcasing its full range of glass reinforcements, including chopped strand mat (CSM), woven roving (WR), multiaxial non crimp fabrics (NCF), continuous filament mat (CFM) and single and multiend roving.
