The specially expanded core will readily allow the veil to flow smoothly around curves, corners, and into crevices. Flexiveil Flexiveil's multidirectional fibers allow both the 100 and 200 series to bend in more than one direction while maintaining the smooth resin-rich surface demanded of veils. Flexiveil was introduced in 1999 for even more flexibility than Curveil, both in latitude and longitude. The latest addition to the SI family of products is a new pultrudable veil especially made for pultrusion and filament winding process that require greater wet-strength. The fibers in our pultrudable veil are more uni-directional, which adds to the strength of the veil when wet.
Veils add a resin-rich surface to pultruded parts, and can also reduce wear on pultrusion machinery.
Firmat Firmat 100 and 200 series reinforcing mats have a regular expansion of glass throughout their depth. The pattern is looser than our surfacing veils to allow the glass to diffuse throughout the final medium. Firmat was specifically developed to be used for the lightweight reinforcing needed in foam board cores. Choosing between a veil or reinforcing mat depends on the finished product. Firmat, our reinforcing mat, adds strength and fire-resistance to polyisocyanurate or polyurethane foam cores.
