Glass fibre-reinforced composites are distinguished by their excellent strength and weight ratio. We produce composite fabrics from from 2 types of glass: E-glass with thermal resistance of loomstate fabric 600°C and SiO2-glass with thermal resistance of 1000+°C, which are applied with resin and special finishes (coupling agents) dependent on end-use requirements and by adapting to each type of fabric to achieve maximum strength. Each type of glass is providing its own specific qualities.

E-glass is by far the most widely used because it provides the right combination of physical properties and low cost.
Application: these range from economical unsaturated polyester for general purpose sports and vehicle uses, through vinylester and epoxy for more stringent applications, to phenolic and polyimides for high temperature resistance.
Parameters:
- fabric mass per unit area 24 to 865 g/m²,
- our fabrics can be provided in different constructions and widths and also with application-specific functional finishings.

Their properties depend on the chemical composition, but the higher the silica (SiO2) content, the higher melting point and strength.
