Related Applications

Related Technologies

Weaving

The weaving machine, or loom, interlaces the warp and filling yarns according to a weave pattern to form a fabric structure.

Knitting

Knitting is a process in which three different yarn sources are used to form a fabric. Beyond warp and weft yarns, a stitched yarn is used to tie the warp and weft yarns together.

Coating

Various chemical substances can coat either glass filament yarns or fabrics. Major applications are PVC coated yarns, PTFE coated fabrics and specific properties of PTFE fabrics.

Finishing

Fabrics or textile structures made of glass filament products can be impregnated with various chemicals to impart the characteristics required by the end application.

Warping & Beaming

Beaming is an operation in which a defined number of parallel ends on single yarns from a creel are combined and wound with tension on a section beam or on a wrap beam.

Multiaxial

The multiaxial machine is used to produce multi-layer structures for reinforcement applications. Major applications for multiaxial products include composites for the boat and shipping industries and rotor blades for power stations.
