FLAXDRY is a range of flax reinforcements designed to be used in composite manufacturing for hand lay-up, infusion, RTM. This range of flax reinforcements has been developed to mainly enhance the vibration absorption qualities, mechanical properties, weight reduction and esthetic aspect of composite parts. It also allows the development of greener material.
- Main Advantages
- Easy and ready to use with conventional processes (RTM, infusion, hand lay-up…)
- Good mechanical properties
- Eco-friendly flax reinforcements made with bio-based fibers
- Unique esthetic aspect
- Vibration absorption
- Electrical Insulation
- CTE near 0
- Low density (1.4) enabling weight reduction
- Easy combination with other kind of fabrics (glass, carbon…)
