Decorative Fabrics

Our range is primarily composed of Alutex, Innovative Tex and Dynanotex. Alutex is based on a woven coated Glass Fibre Fabric mainly used for applications such as car seats, skis and other sports goods. Innovative Tex fabrics are produced from Carbon Fibre and metal or metallic components invariably wires such as Copper, Brass, Stainless steel, Titanium and for special applications Gold. Typical applications would include car interiors, fine detailing and other automotive parts. Dynanotex is a range of Woven Carbon Fibre fabrics based on Spread Tow Technology providing lightweight unidirectional and woven products. A wide variety of finishes available suitable for a large range of sporting applications.

Innovative tex

Innovative Tex

Originally designed with Aerospace applications in mind, the combination of Carbon with Copper was successfully tested for lightning strike on the leading edge. More recently the combination of Carbon with Metallic Threads has been widely embraced by the Automotive Industry as an effective alternative to standard Carbon Woven fabrics, for internal decoration.

The Innovative range has been extended with the development of coloured metallic threads, providing the end user with an alternative to traditional coloured Carbon fabrics. The development of coloured Metallic Threads creates fabrics with vibrant colours even after laminating. Unlike traditional dyed yarns (typically Polyester or Polypropelene) the use of colour in the Metallic Threads does not lose any brilliance after lamination.

The Innovative range includes standard style weaves such as plain and twill, but also many designs, unique to this family of fabrics.

Dynanotex Collage

Dynanotex

Dynanotex is a Tow Spreading System for the production of Unidirectional Carbon Fibre reinforcements. The Dynanotex concept is based on two separate layers of Unidirectional Carbon Fibre bonded together by Resin compatible adhesive. Essentially a Tow Spreading System creating a Unidirectional sheet of Carbon Fibre which can then subsequently be cut to varying widths and used in the production of woven Dynanotex. Dynanotex fabrics both UD and woven have:

  • No additional surface treatments
  • Perfect fibre alignment
  • Thickness reduction (35% less than traditional UD reinforcements)
  • Low weight reinforcements (70 to 200g/m²) from heavy tow fibres (15K-24K-50K)
  • Perfect alignment of fibre maximises the mechanical performance of the fibres
  • Improvement of interlaminar sheer strength as a result of the perfect bonding of fibres layers
  • Reduction/Elimination of resin build up due to the excellent fibre distribution

Dynanotex fabrics are used in wind Surfing, kite boarding, skis, hockey sticks and sports goods in general, automotive and marine applications.
