All high-capacity thread materials (e.g. carbon, aramid, glass, basalt, metals, ceramics), but also natural fibres and art fibers find use. Among the rest, the warp knits serve as an armouring in thermosetting matrixes and in concrete.

In the following we would like to give you a small insight into the material world of our Solutions in Textile:

 

 

Carbon fibers are industrially made fibers from carboniferous materials. Besides, one single fiber is hardly recognizable for the human eye: It has only one diameter of about 5-8 micrometers. In the comparison: The diameter of a human hair lies on average with about 70 micrometers. To provide for the necessary stability, therefore from 1,000 to 24,000 single fibers are usually summarised to a bundle and are wrapped on reels. Processed to, or trained in technical textiles the fibers provide for optimum electric and thermal conductivity.

 

 

 

 

Aramid fibers are golden brown organic art fibers which by very high firmness, high blow toughness, high elongation at rupture, good oscillation damping as well as permanence distinguishes itself compared with acids and lyes. The best known uses for aramid fibers are to be found in the security area, in the civil engineering or, for example, in the aircraft construction. We see a possibility of many in the use of aramid in combination with epoxy resins.

 

 

 

 

Used originally only as a decoration material for fairy hair or angel's hair, fiberglasses are not to be imagined as not existing in the today's world any more. Among the rest, the long, thin fibers from a mixture of molten sand, kaolin, limestone and colmanit are used to the data transfer or to the heat insulation or sound absorption. Not without reason they count to the most important construction materials: The fiberglass distinguishes itself particularly by her ageing and weather permanence and her chemical resistance. In combination with for example carbon the materials become a high-class duet in our world of the technical textiles.

 

 

 

 

The basalt, the basic material of the basalt fiber comes directly from the inside of the earth: thin-liquid magma poor in silicic acid resigns in the earth's surface and cools off relatively fast to basalt lava. Again huge heat is necessary for the next subsequent treatment: The fiber itself originates from liquid basalt glazes with about 1400°. In contrast to the carbon fiber the basalt fiber is not elongate, but is amorphous - like the fiberglass-. Also in qualities both materials are comparable.

 

 

 

 

 

Not free of charge phases of the human development are called after materials - for example, Bronze Age or Iron Age. Today aluminium, lead, iron, gold, copper, magnesium or zinc also enter with our technical textiles. Had an effect metal fibers distinguish themselves according to kind by excellent warm conductivity, high glaze temperatures and good plasticity and leave open no customer wish.
