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.

Chopped Rayon Fiber

Viscose shortcut fiber and cord – a rayon product for special applications

Chopped rayon fibers are made in a subsequent process, where Cordenka® Rayon multifilament yarn is cut into fibers with various lengths from 2 to 125 mm. The shortcut fibers are mainly used as input in the production chain of rayon reinforced pellets. In a similar way, chopped rayon cord is made of twisted rayon cord that is cut into short pieces. Among other applications, chopped cord can be further processed to rayon fiber wadding.

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.
