WOVEN KNITTED COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT TAPES

Reinforcements
While our customers come to us with very specific problems to solve, they all have one thing in common. The fabrics and tapes we supply have to strengthen and protect their products, regardless of the application. In fact, for many of our customers, reinforcement is their primary need. We support them in applications that matter:
• Pipes that move millions of gallons of fluids
• Aerospace applications that carry thousands of passengers
• Trailers that move thousands of tons of cargo
• Car parts that perform mile after mile
If your application requires reinforcement that will withstand the test of time and the wear and tear of perpetual use, contact Carolina Narrow Fabric to explore your options.
Flexible Tooling
Fiberglass fabric is a preferred component in the production of soft tools for vacuum molding, RTM molding, VARTM, LRTM. This technology provides the capability to produce precise tooling for the high speed creation of various parts and sub assemblies for a variety of end uses including airplanes, boats, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, aftermarket car parts, etc.
Transportation
The inside liners of refrigerated trucks are made from fiberglass. Fiberglass fabrics and tapes are used to increase rigidity and add strength to the high stress areas of these liners. Many of the new energy efficient busses and trains employ fiberglass for both the internal and external body panels. This is both fuel efficient and durable.
Aircraft
Most all of the world’s commercial airplane interiors are made from resin impregnated fiberglass or aramid. Everything from interior side panels to PSUS to floor boards use fiberglass to reinforce the resin matrix of the finished part. A high percentage of the world’s aircraft radar domes are also built from fiberglass reinforced plastic. The new Airbus A350 is an excellent example of this.
