3-dimensional fibreglass reinforcements, Nida-Fusion STO complexes are composed of a sheet of closed-cells foam covered with a reinforcing fibre layer on each side. These three elements are linked together by fiberglass bridging strands, which go through them obliquely, forming triangulations Truss Network.
For a very competitive price, Nida-Fusion STO complexes allow you to build sandwich constructions offering :
Very good flexural strength,
Excellent fatigue and delaminating resistance,
Good high temperature and fire resistance,
Shaped structures with thickness variations,
Excellent thermal insulation
Nida-Fusion STO is patented and is offered in 2 variations :
Nida-Fusion STO complexes made of rigid foam and used for the production of planar structures without thickness variation,
Nida-Fusion STF complexes made of flexible foam and used for shaped structures with thickness variation..
Nida-Fusion STO complexes can be tailored exactly to your needs (Foam, choice and weight of reinforcements, orientation and spacing of the triangulations), and are made to order.

| 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 fibres 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 manufacturers of 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 professional 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. |
