KERMEL company manufactures two types of meta aramid fibres:
- Kermel® is a highly technological meta aramid fibre, predominantly used in the manufacture of heat and flame resistant protective clothing.
- Kermel® Tech fibre is dedicated to industrial applications such as hot gas filtration. |
|
| Due to the outstanding properties in respect to heat resistance, tensile strength and cut resistance, Twaron® is increasingly used for heat and cut protective clothing. Apart of 100% Twaron® spun yarn, also blends with other high performance fibers are used. |
|
| Recently, several Twaron®-based geotextiles have been developed and proven their success. When applied in the construction business, these geotextiles provide extra rigidity to the structure, permitting construction work on a very thin foundation layer. In addition, Twaron®'s excellent properties guarantee minimum cracking of the asphalt layer throughout a road's service life. |
|
| Twaron® aramid fibers are used in all kinds of composite parts. Its unique combination of properties makes it suitable for a wide range of high performance applications. Twaron® aramid fibers combine the following properties: a high performance/low weight ratio, a high damage tolerance and a good abrasion resistance. |
|
| Twaron® and Technora® high-performance fibers are used in all kinds of composite parts. Their unique combination of properties makes them very suitable for a wide range of engineering plastics. |
|
| Different types of Twaron® pulp are used in: friction materials, sealing materials, technical paper and braided packings. |
|
| Twaron®, Technora® and Teijinconex® fibers are excellently suited for reinforcing mechanical rubber goods, such as hoses, transmission belts, and conveyor belts. Every application makes its specific demands on reinforcing materials. |
|
| Optical Fiber Cables are designed to guarantee the integrity of data transmission through the optical fibers in the cable by protecting the Optical Fibers against mechanical stress during the life of the cable. In order to do so, a peripheral reinforcement of man-made fibers like Twaron® and Technora®, is necessary. In addition to protection, other demands on the cable can be made like non-conductivity, weight or diameter limitations, and specifications concerning flexibility and handling. |
|
| Twaron® and Technora®'s unique combination of properties makes them an excellent material for the reinforcement of ropes and cables with advantages over both synthetic yarns and steel. |
|
| As the result of its superior performance/weight ration, aramid has become the first choice reinforcing material for high performance tires. Whether in car or motorcycle tires, whether optimized towards speed, handling or comfort, Twaron® is increasingly used by the major tire producers to further improve performance while minimizing tire weight. |
|
| Twaron® has excellent energy absorption properties and offers an effective and comfortable ballistic solution with an outstanding cost-performance ratio. At this moment, Twaron® in its many varieties has been implemented in numerous ballistic solutions and saving thousands of lives worldwide. |
|
| Advanced composite material technology has created a beautiful, perfectly balanced, carbon woven fabric collection. The combination of materials gives this rollerball pen a unique look and feel. |

Product Stability:
BASALTEX Products have not been designed for full external exposure conditions and cannot be guaranteed for use in such situations. However, these BASALTEX products have considerable tolerance to damp conditions and occasional water immersion. After drying out, the product will give
the same level of performance as the original sample. |

3B Chopped Strands are glass fibres filaments chopped into a specified length and coated with a chemical sizing, which ensures the compatibility with the resin to reinforce.
They are generally used to reinforce thermosplastic and thermoset resins using compounding, injection-moulding or compression processes.
3B Chopped Strands are engineered to offer excellent flow ability properties, very low level of fines fibres and then to improve processing productivity.
Thermoplastic Chopped Strands
3B Thermoplastic Chopped Strands are reinforcements designed for use in thermoplastic polymer systems. They are designed to improve tensile and flexural resistance, to bring dimensional stability especially at high temperatures and to allow a much better control of the moulded part shrinkage. |

| Chopped strands ER 2011 are made of boroaluminosilcate glass, comprising less than 1% alkalies. It is characterized by good strand integrity. Chopped strands are not stuck together, and their ends are not fuzzy. Chopped strands have the same, repeatable length of fibre sections. The size type put on the filament enables to process it with non-saturated polyester resins as well as phenolic and melamine ones. Chopped strands ER 2011 are for producing polyester moulding compounds of DMC and BMC type. Products made of these compounds can be formed by pressing or injection. Chopped strands ER-2011 can be used to produce articles from phenolic, amino resins and poly-amides as their reinforcement. |

3B Continuous Filament Mat (CFM) is a non-woven mat made from Advantex™ filaments, consisting of continuous fibres randomly oriented in multiple layers. The glass fibre is bonded with silane coupling agent and the layers held together with a suitable binder.
3B offers two groups of CFM: powder mats and emulsion mats. Both groups provide end-users with different controls over rigidity, conformability, handling, wet-out and a range of tensile strengths.
CFM is particularly suitable for compression moulded electrical and non-electrical laminates as well as for pultrusion and infusion or injection processes (e.g. RTM, S-RIM or Matched Die Molding). CFM products contain an insoluble binder for unsaturated polyester, epoxy and polyurethane compatibility in unfilled or filled resin systems.
In certain applications, 3B CFM also shows good compatibility with polyurethane foams. |
