Burneside - Technical Fibre Products has released details of a new study which confirms that the use of its aramid nonwovens in composite surfacing applications demonstrates their effectiveness in protecting the underlying structural elements of a composite from the effects of abrasion or wear.
According to TFP, the lightweight aramid veils enable a high quality surface finish, whilst simultaneously providing a durable and sacrificial layer in applications such as high speed composite rollers, automotive friction substrates or sporting goods where the composite experiences a constant friction. This continuous wear can potentially have a detrimental impact on the performance of the composite, as well as significantly reducing the product’s lifespan.
