Fabric for Composites

Reinforcements for thermoset and thermoplastic composites

Cordenka® Rayon woven fabrics are optimized for the reinforcement of lightweight composites. The fabrics are available with different weaving patterns and areal weights (200–600 g/m²).

Cordenka fabrics provide stiffness and strength on the one hand and impact resistance on the other. By that, Cordenka fabrics can be used for the construction of lightweight composite parts with excellent energy absorption behavior.

The combined use of Cordenka fabrics with other reinforcements, e.g. carbon fabrics, provides intelligent cost-saving composite design opportunities.

Sustainable light-weight composites

Rayon reinforcement for impact resistant compound materials

Rayon fibers can be used for the reinforcement of conventional or bio-based thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers. Bio-Composite materials, such as the Cordenka development product PLA-Cordenka® 20, combine performance and sustainability and constitute interesting up-to-date alternatives to conventional composite materials.

Rayon Tire Reinforcement

Cellulose-based carcass construction – built for lasting performance

CORDENKA® Rayon tire cord and fabric is a Rayon product scientifically optimized for the reinforcement of passenger car tires. It is standardly impregnated with a Resorcin-Formaldehyde-Latex-Dip for ideal rubber adhesion.

High thermal stability and exceptional mechanical properties guarantee highest safety and endurance. In order to ensure the perfect fit for a wide range of applications, Cordenka offers cord and fabric with various different specifications.

Cordenka® Rayon Yarn

Technical multifilament yarn – based on a natural feedstock

Rayon as manufactured by Cordenka is a special technical viscose yarn with unique properties fit for high performance applications. As other viscose fibers, rayon is made of the renewable resource cellulose – making use of natural carbon removal.
