Dymriton Composites, a leading producer of fiberglass composites for structural reinforcement, has unveiled a premium polyester surface veil designed to elevate surface finishing and fortify against corrosion and chemical degradation. Engineered as a thermobonded veil, this product is offered in versatile formats, including 30g/m2 and 60g/m2 variants, and can be procured in full rolls measuring up to 2540mm in width. It serves as a standalone solution or can be mechanically bonded to Dymriton’s extensive array of composite reinforcements.

Having undergone successful trials in shipbuilding and onshore fish farms, the PET surface veil is now primed for deployment across various marine and related industries. Particularly suited for marine and automotive applications, it reduces the visibility of glass fibers on gelcoats, yielding a sleek finish ideal for “Class A” skin coats and automotive uses.

The polyester surface veil can be seamlessly integrated as a standalone product or mechanically bonded to synergize with Dymriton’s composite reinforcements across diverse molding and pultrusion processes, encompassing closed mold and open mold applications.

Delivering an array of advantages, the PET surface veil can be mechanically affixed to Dymriton products to enhance their surface finish, eliminating the need for chemicals or seams. Additionally, it boasts compatibility with a wide spectrum of matrices, facilitated by its open structure, which facilitates resin outflow.

In wet applications, where gel coats are susceptible to water infiltration leading to delamination and the formation of microbubbles, the PET surface veil stands as a stalwart defense. Its robust resistance to moisture, fortified by a resin-rich layer and robust fiber bonding against gelcoats, mitigates such risks. Furthermore, it furnishes exemplary corrosion protection to pultruded composite parts, such as stairs and handrails, thriving in aggressive chemical environments, thereby outperforming metal alternatives prone to deterioration.

Notably, the PET surface veil excels in cost-effectiveness, undercutting current market-leading PES surface veils by 50%, all while enhancing fiber printing, osmosis resistance, and chemical protection.

Backed by unique manufacturing capabilities and a robust mechanical binding system, this offering sets industry benchmarks by delivering features and benefits unparalleled elsewhere in the market. These attributes, ingrained across all Dymriton reinforcements, empower customers to streamline processes, trim expenses, and produce superior-quality parts.
