Three products manufactured by Saertex GmbH & Co. KG, a producer of glass, aramid and carbon fibre multiaxial NCF (non-crimp fabric), drew visitors to its stall at Composites Europe, which was held in Dusseldorf between October 7 and 9, 2014.

One of the products; Saerfoam is a unique closed pore foam core reinforced with 3D glass bridging employed in manufacturing laminates of sandwich structure.

The latter, Saertex said, are used in wind power industry instead of the balsa wood often used in making fan blades with its unique characteristic of bridge alignment and density, being used to optimise mechanical characteristics and weight.

The second product, Saertex Leo is a new type of composite system that meets the high fire safety requirements set in the offshore, maritime and construction businesses and in making railway locomotives.

Saertex informs that Leo, simultaneously avoids any negative influence on mechanical key performance indicators, as was usual in fire protection systems, till date.

Another product, 3D fabrics are always an outstanding alternative where thick building components are concerned.

3D fabrics consist of stretched fibres at 0° and 90° alignment with additional reinforcing fibres in Z direction, i.e. through the thickness of the non-crimp fabric.

They offer several decisive benefits compared to laminated fabrics of woven 2D fibres where mechanical characteristics and processing time are concerned. (AR)
