GRILON PA6 / PA610 and NEXYLON PA66 staple fibers provide improved durability and performance of both industrial nonwovens and textile yarns. Demanding applications include:

• Paper machine felts, which are exposed to heat, chemicals, pressure and friction for months at a time
• Abrasives, based on nonwovens finished in aggressive synthetic resin baths
• Protective clothing / workwear that is comfortable to wear while withstanding toughest use without tearing.

GRILON CoPA (Copolyamide) yarns and bicomponent fibers are designed for melt bonding and reinforcement of technical textile constructions. Our products are used as:

• Production aids or as matrix material in fiber-reinforced composite parts.
• Special GRILON binder yarns have been developed for the stabilization of carbon or glass fiber fabrics. The binder fiber is used as a processing aid in the preforming step of the RTM process (resin transfer molding).
