PRODUCTS Scrim
is a low cost reinforcing fabric made from continuous filament
yarn in an open-mesh construction. Laid scrim is a manufacturing
process that
chemically bonds nonwoven yarns. The chemical coating, can be engineered
to meet specific customer needs. And its binders can be designed to act
as an adhesive, add flame retardant, water resistance, etc.
Laid Scrim is an essential component used by customers in the construction, industrial
and composite markets in order to provide:
-
Dimensional stability
-
Tensile strength
-
Tear resistance
-
Fire and water resistance
-
Anti-microbial properties
Fiber Types
Fibers typically used are:
- Fiberglass (22 tex - 330 tex)
- Polyester (44 dtex - 2200 dtex)
- Other synthetic polymer fibers, natural fibers and high modulus yarns can
be processed.
