Technical Fibre Products (TFP Inc), a specialty wet-laid nonwoven manufacturer, has become a member of Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI). TFP has over 30 years of experience in manufacturing technical nonwoven material for advanced composites and membership of IACMI highlights TFP's commitment to grow business in this area. 

 

IACMI-The Composites Institute, is a partnership of industry, universities, national laboratories and federal, state and local governments, that is managed by the Collaborative Composite Solutions Corporation (CCS). These member institutions are working together to benefit the nation's energy and economic security by sharing existing resources and co-investing for accelerating the development and commercial deployment of advanced composites.

 

John Haaland, president of TFP comments, "We are delighted to be a part of IACMI and to be working in partnership with other member companies and stakeholders to explore how our multifunctional materials can enhance composite structures. Typical benefits to using our nonwovens include improving fracture toughness, enhancing resin flow and reducing erosion wear, as well as providing fire resistance, anti-static and electrical properties for these often challenging applications."
