Reinforcements

Technical reinforcements combine a textile content with other non-textile contents, i.e. from different technologies such as plastic moulding and chemistry. These are products and applications where the aesthetic value is often negligible compared to that of structural behaviour, i.e. the response to precise values of certain mechanical parameters, where the technical-technological framework (testing, standards and certification) is more important than the aesthetic-visual one.

These reinforcements are usually used in combination with thermosetting resins (matrix) to produce high-strength composites that combine the strengths and overcome the weaknesses of the two (or more) components. The most common are GRP / FRP (Glass / Fibre Reinforced Plastic) and CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic), which are glass fibre and carbon fibre components.

Carbon fiber
Carbon fiber

Carbon fibre is mainly used to reinforce composite materials, particularly in polymers. Another use is to add aesthetic value to various consumer products.

Aramid fiber
Aramid fiber

Aramid fibres, to which Kevlar® belongs, are a special group of synthetic fibres that are particularly strong and extremely resistant to heat and friction due to their chemical properties.
