Lightweight automotive composites Beaulieu Fibres International offers a full range of engineered polypropylene (PP) bonding fibres for thermoplastic lightweight composites. These fibres are designed to provide an optimal cost to performance ratio in needlepunched compression moulded composite materials, when blended with glass, natural or synthetic reinforcement fibres. In answer to the continuous strive of the automotive industry to increase performance and reduce emission, BFI has introduced its UtraLink fibres, a family of customized bonding fibres to improve the mechanical, thermal and functional properties of the composite, and further reduce weight.

UltraBond The UltraBond is a patented bonding staple fibre that eliminates the need for latex or other chemical binders to bind nonwovens.It opens up a path to create 100% polypropylene (PP) needlepunched fabrics which meet the same performance requirements as traditional constructions while reducing the end-of-life environmental impact. Using UltraBond, manufacturers now have access to the most versatile bonding fibre available in the market. Ultrabond can be designed to go from a “one size fits all” concept to a customized bonding fibre for a single application maximizing the look and performance of the fabric.

Concrete ReinforcementWe offer Meraflex® short cut fibres for sustainable fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC). Reinforcement by polypropylene (PP) fibres mini-mizes cracking, improves resistance, avoids spallation and therefore prolongs the service lifetime of concrete, cement and mortar constructions substantially. The material is light, safer and quicker to integrate and offers a lower ecological footprint.

The introduction of Meraflex® short cut fibres into concrete, at adequate concentrations, can completely eliminates the risk of

Several studies have shown that the use of Meraflex® short cut fibres, at adequate concentrations in the mortar:• eliminates the formation of cracks;• makes cement mortars of relatively low porosity (W/c 0.55) resistant to attack from carbon dioxide; • makes air-entrained cement mortars resistant to freeze-thaw cycles.

shrinkage cracking in casted products and avoids the spalling phenomena in case of a fire. During fire, the fibre melts at 160°C and creates porosity by which the generated steam can be evacuated. This will decrease the pressure in the construction and avoid spalling problems.

Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM)Beaulieu Fibres International offers coarse polypropylene (PP) fibres in 65, 70, 110 and 220 dtex especially designed for the production of nonwovens used as resin distribution layer in RTM composite processes. The fibres provide the necessary resilience in order to maximize nonwoven loftiness, while resisting to compression forces in moulding. Our RTM fibres are equiped with a hydrophilic finish, allowing to optimize resin flow distribution throughout the entire mould surface.
