100% polyester – hydro-entangled – no binders
 

Surfitex™ is a synthetic veil, designed to generate a high-quality surface during production of FRP components, including pipes, tanks, façade panels and wind blades. 

Surfitex™ is manufactured from100% polyester fibres, which are hydro-entangled with highpressure jets of water, with no chemicals added, which means there is no risk of chemical contamination of the resin. This material is highly suitable for pultrusion, filament winding, RTM, vacuum infusion and hand lay-up processes.

Surfitex™ gives FRP components a resin-rich surface that enhances weathering and corrosion resistence and reduces UV degradation. It also provides a smooth, crack and craze-resistant finish, minimising reinforcement print-through.
