Technical Fibre Products Inc (TFP) will be showing its latest nonwoven products at JEC Americas and TechTextil Americas, taking place in Atlanta in May.

These include TFP’s new Tecnofire mat which delivers fire protection on demand, and the lightweight Optiveil thermoplastic composite toughening solutions.

According to the company, TFP’s nonwovens can offer composites a high quality, resin rich surface finish and surface functionality such as EMI shielding, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, electrical conductivity and static dissipation. Further applications include preventing galvanic corrosion by acting as an electrically isolating layer, providing a lightweight carrier or support for adhesive films, and acting as a resin flow medium to provide improved resin transportation in both inter-laminar and surface regions.
