Technical Fibre Products will launch Ecoveil, a new range of sustainable nonwovens, at JEC World later this month.
Ecoveil materials are all manufactured from naturally derived or recycled fibres and the range includes jute, recycled carbon, bio-derived polyamide (PA11) and a modified cellulose acetate which is readily biodegradable. Our polyamide and jute veils also incorporate a shellac binder, meaning that these veils are manufactured entirely from natural materials.
The innovative Ecoveil nonwovens are specially designed to deliver the performance and quality synonymous with our Optiveil range while also enabling the user to demonstrate environmental responsibility. Like Optiveil they can be easily integrated into a composites as a surfacing or semi-structural layer and provide a number of solutions for composite applications. Typical uses include enabling a high quality resin rich surface finish, acting as a lightweight adhesive carrier or support, as well as improving resin flow and aiding consistent wet out of the resin during infusion.
