Commingled fabric

COMFIL offers fabrics woven from our commingled yarns. The melting matrix polymer is already mixed into the reinforcement fibers via the commingling process resulting in a fabric, that can be moulded directly into a desired shape.

Commingled fabrics are easy to process into fully shaped and consolidated thermoplastic composites by using pressure and heat.

custom made commingled fabrics with great advantages:

· Choice of fiber and polymer mix

· Excellent drapeability

· Excellent possibilities for 3-D compression moulding

· Choice of weaving style and fiber direction

· Width of 65 -220 cm

· For large volumes we can offer width up to 300 cm
