Product(s)

Flax roving
Description:

Flat flax rovings in bobbins

Composition:

100% flax

Process: reinforcement production (weaving, braiding...) or composite part manufacture (AFP, pultrusion...)
Advantages:

- No twist, parallel fibres give the optimum of the flax properties in the composite parts - A flat roving enabling a good wettability of flax fibres by the resin and a lower thickness reducing the need of resin - fast to process thanks to a large width

TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND SERVICE

ENGINEERING OFFICES:
Studies (reinforcements design…), mechanical testing, numerical simulations, project management
