- Siltex braided sleevesSiltex braided sleeves is a braiding of glass-fibre yarns and glass-fibre threads. It enhances working properties and thermal stability compared with the previously used cotton and viscose yarns. Its special capabilities are a high strength, a high modulus, a low density as well as a good acceptance to work.
- NPSP CompositesNPSP Composieten is a manufacturer of products of fibre-reinforced plastics. Next to conventional materials, NPSP also uses durable materials like flax and hemp in combination with their high class production process of VA-RTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin TransferMoulding).
- More examples of German material designEvery year, students from the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin design products from a whole range of materials. Below you will find several projects,…
- Hiendl NFCThe Natural Fibre Composites consist of synthetic polymers, reinforced by natural fibres such as hemp, flax, various woods, and others. Depending on the raw materials used and the quantity ratios a large variety of specific property profiles can be created.
- Woven UltrafabricThere is a lot to be said for looking very closely at materials. They often disclose fascinating secrets, such as this waterproof material, or…
- Flax Reinforcements Made More Accessible with BIOFIBIX HypermatFlax fibres are gaining interest in composite design because they are bio-based, lightweight, and have a lower environmental impact than many synthetic alternatives. Yet…
- Architecture inspired by ladybug wingsResearchers and students from University of Stuttgart developed a large-scale architectural structure inspired by the folding mechanisms of ladybug wings, made of carbon and…
- FibrimatFibriMat is a range of 100% natural fibre nonwoven mats produced in France. The range includes bio-based reinforcements for composites, the underlay mat Feutralin, as well as other 100% natural fibre mats. The non-woven mats of are produced in weights ranging from 300 to 2400 g/m2 and in widths up to 2.9 m. Natural fibre mats are well-known for their acoustic and thermal insulation properties.
- Basalt knitted fabricBasalt knitted fabrics are made from stone fibre that is obtained from the volcanic Basalt. It has a melting point at 1450°C. The material is available in various knits and incombustible (A1 according to DIN 4102). The strength and elongation of basalt fibres is 15 per cent higher than glass fibres.
- Missed the Milan Design Week? Here are some material highlights! Part IIIAt the Milan Design Week, several companies and designers showed how you can do wonderful things with recycled and upcycled materials. In our third…
- GlareA "GLAss-REinforced" Fibre Metal Laminate (FML), composed of several very thin layers of metal interspersed with layers of glass-fibre "pre-preg", bonded together with a matrix such as epoxy. For Aerospace engineering only.
- KuiperFoamGlass-based foam sheets. These form lightweight composite sheets laminated with various topping materials. The foam base consists of a glass-fibre base, reinforced with melamine or phenol resin. The hard and stiff panels are water and fire resistant. Standard sizes are 1220x2440mm, with thicknesses from 2 to 30 mm.
- CorematCoremat is a nonwoven, based on polyester fibres with a binder system that contains microspheres. It is used as at thin core (bulker mat) or print blocker (liner) in fibre reinforced laminates, manufactured in Hand Lay-Up or Spray-Up processes. Microspheres in Coremat prevent excessive resin up-take. Usage: weight saving, Resin and glass saving, Stiffness increase, Fast thickness build-up.
- LUCEM LineLUCEM Line light transmitting concrete, translucent concrete is an material made of optical fibres and concrete. Textiles made of small optical glass fibres with 70 microns diameter and a selected fine concrete matrix are put together layer by layer.
- SolusSolus architectural fabrics are made of PTFE coated glass fabric. The fuoropolymer PTFE is the most durable fabric coating available. The PTFE is applied equally to both sides of the glass fabric. This encapsulates the glass fibres and protects them from moisture influx.
- CurvIn a process where fibres are melted together, Curv captures the mechanical properties of woven polypropylene fibres in a self-reinforced matrix. High stiffness, tensile strength and impact resistance enables the creation of high performance lightweight parts with in a totally recyclable thermoplastic.
- Sustainable Smart Textiles: A Material Innovation for Wearable and Interactive DesignResearchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new class of sustainable smart textiles that operate using acoustic waves rather than electronics. Known as SonoTextiles,…
- TexglassPaper of fabric is fitted between two sheets of laminated glass. The print of the fabric-be it colourful, monochrome, or a blended design-is enchanced by the brilliance of the glass.

- ArcBiox BGF30-A1 and ArcBiox A17ArcBiox BGF30-A1 is a composite material with 30% of biodegradable glass fibre as reinforcement. The material is designed for injection moulding. ArcBiox A17 is impact modified PLA based material. The material is not reinforced with fibres. It is a good alternative to replace ABS.
- Flax wallpaperFlax offers the opportunity to produce nonwovens with outstanding properties such as extreme tear-resistance, durability, and robustness at a relatively low production cost. This wallpaper high tear-and UV-resistance, a soft touch, as well as good insulating properties. It does not require a supporting material and can be applied directly to the wall with the specially developed glue for flax wallpaper.
- Bola TriGlassBola TriGlass is the name for a revolutionary three-dimensional (3D) woven glass fabric for applications in the Glass fibre Reinforced Plastics industry (GRP-business). Bola TriGlass is an integrally woven sandwich fabric out of 100% E-glass yarns and is available in thicknesses from 2 mm up to 22 mm.
