Technical Readiness Level:
Saint-Gobain Vetrotex is partnering with the German Start-up FibreCoat GmbH to industrialize aluminum coated glass fiber solution. . This innovative fibre is providing high stiffness and tensile strength and combining metal properties for high electrical and thermal conductivity.
These new fibres will be offered as chopped fibres compatible with polymer and nonwoven processing and as roving for textile processing (e.g., weaving, knitting, non-crimp fabrics, narrow fabrics or even braiding).
It can for instance be used to produce lightweight cost-competitive fabrics, to replace heavy and expensive metal mesh that are used in the surface of airplane structures for lightening Strick protection or for EMI shielding.
key features:
- Excellent textile properties for providing lightweight & drapable shielding solutions.
- Affordable and impact resistant materials materials.
- Add electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, resistive heating and thermal management properties in your product.
