Glass Fibers

A wide variety of construction applications use nonwovens and fabrics based on glass fibers, or yarns. The substrates serve as support layers, facings, coverings or reinforcements. Depending on the application and processing requirements, our tailor-made binders ensure that the substrate provides sufficient mechanical performance and offers special resistance to heat, water, solvents or environmental stress.

Glass fiber nonwovens  

Glass fiber nonwovens are used as support layers for vinyl and carpet-flooring tiles or for bituminous roofings. Additional applications include robust wall coverings and facing layers for mineral wool mats, construction boards, or fiber-reinforced plastic parts.

Glass yarn fabrics 

Fabrics made from glass yarn are used as patterned wovens for high-quality wall coverings or as laid or woven meshes for various reinforcing purposes – within external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), for example.
