CombiMat
Unlike traditional woven fabrics, the fibers in these materials are stitched together, effectively eliminating crimping and thereby enhancing the overall strength and mechanical properties of the composite parts.
In practical applications, these stitched fabrics are manipulated similarly to their woven counterparts, providing ease of handling without sacrificing structural integrity.
Kelteks Combimat fabrics are particularly well-suited for the production of larger and thicker laminates. The precise stitching technique ensures that individual fibers remain securely in place during cutting and processing, maintaining the fabrics' integrity and performance throughout the manufacturing process.
