Technical Impregnation For High Temperatures

Deep impregnation of the fibres to maximise structural integrity and fire resistance.

Impregnation Technology

Unlike surface coating, impregnation works by immersion or deep penetration.
The polymer penetrates the individual fibres, displacing the interstitial air and creating a homogeneous, ultra-strong composite material.
This process is essential for components that must withstand intense mechanical stress without losing their structural integrity.

Applications And Benefits Of The Impregnation

  • Fire resistance: impregnation with vermiculite or silicates creates an internal barrier that prevents the spread of heat;
  • Mechanical stability: drastically reduces ‘dusting’ (the release of volatile fibres) and improves the fabric’s workability;
  • Chemical protection: offers total protection against attack by acids or bases that could degrade the virgin fibre.

Materials That Can Be Worked

We have a proven track record working with fibreglass, basalt, silica and alumina, ensuring that the resin thoroughly saturates even the densest weaves.

FAQs On Technical Impregnation

Does Impregnation Make The Fabric Excessively Stiff?

The degree of stiffness is fully customisable. We can adjust the resin concentration to achieve a finish ranging from ‘soft’ (flexible) to ‘extra-hard’ (structural).

Does Impregnation Increase The Weight Of The Fabric?

Yes, the treatment increases the fibre density to ensure stability. We can adjust the resin content (additives) to find the perfect balance between final weight and the required mechanical strength.

Do Impregnated Fabrics Shed Fibres During Handling?

One of the main advantages of impregnation is precisely the drastic reduction in ‘dusting’. The polymer binds the filaments, making the material much safer and cleaner during cutting and installation.
