Freudenberg’s surfacing veils represent a critical innovation in the realm of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) components, setting a new standard in material performance and longevity. These veils are not merely functional; they provide a superior level of abrasion resistance and corrosion protection, ensuring that the integrity of the molded part is maintained over time. This is particularly important in applications where environmental stressors can significantly weaken materials. The ability to withstand such conditions not only enhances the product’s lifespan but also ensures reliability in critical applications.
Advanced solutions for piping, UV-resistant facade panels, and more
Freudenberg’s versatile portfolio of nonwovens includes advanced materials made from glass, PAN, and PET, among others. These high-performance materials are meticulously engineered for various applications, including anti-corrosive layers in piping and tank construction, UV-resistant facade panels, and an array of other end products that are essential in today’s market. A critical component of composite parts, surfacing veils play a vital role in enhancing product durability. Their key attributes include abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, and smooth surfaces, and they also significantly improve mechanical strength. In a world where the impact of environmental factors can compromise structural integrity, these features are particularly important.
