Improved abrasion resistance for composites Continuous wear can potentially have a detrimental impact on the performance of unprotected composites. 13th April 2021 Technical Fibre Products (TFP), based in Kendal, UK, has carried out a study to prove the effectiveness of aramid nonwoven surface veils in protecting the underlying structural elements of composites from the effects of abrasion and wear. The lightweight aramid veils enable a high-quality surface finish, while simultaneously providing a durable and sacrificial layer in applications such as high-speed composite rollers, automotive friction substrates or sporting goods where the composite experiences a constant friction. This continuous wear can potentially have a detrimental impact on the performance of the composite, as well as significantly reducing it lifespan.
