Fibertex now introduces its innovative easy-release surface fabrics in the USA. “Compoflex has found good use in the wind turbine, racing and boat building industries in Europe, and we are confident that its unique advantages will also find applications in the USA”, says Product Manager Morten Sorensen from Fibertex.
Cost savings with reduced peeling:
Compoflex is a new innovative surface fabric product that offers easy release from the laminate without the use of any coatings on the product. The product releases more than 5 times easier compared to conventional peel ply even after the FRP part is fully hardened.
“Compoflex is produced without application of any coatings or additives to the surface, and therefore the surface of the product and also the resulting FRP parts are 100% clean”, says Morten Sorensen and continues: “We have seen massive time savings with regard to peeling times, and the fact that Compoflex replaces the peel ply, release film and breather when vacuum bagging, offers significant time handling savings”.
Replace three products with one:
The Compoflex product range offers products especially engineered to almost any variation of the vacuum bagging, infusion and winding processes, replacing up to three products with one.
“We see a very good potential for this new product in the USA, and are confident that it finds good use at many FRP production sites regardless of the process they are using”, says Raymond Miller, Northern Fiberglass sales and continues: “The peeling properties this product offers are incredible, and it just makes the whole FRP production process so much easier”.
The Fibertex Group is a market leading manufacturer of needlepunch and spunmelt nonwovens for industrial, technical and and hygiene applications. With corporate office in Aalborg, Denmark, and manufacturing sites in Denmark, Malaysia and the Czech Republic, Fibertex is globally represented.
