This is the material from which grocery potato bags and wind turbine blades are made.

This is significant for BAFA^®-laid scrims. You find them everywhere but you are rarely aware of them as they are mostly invisible. Laid scrims are delicate yarn constructions that strengthen, reinforce and stabilise products. In product improvements and process innovations, you will find BAFA^®-laid scrims more and more frequently.

>> more on these application areas

A laid scrim is a very special fusion of yarns.

Unlike wovens and rectangular fabric constructions, BAFA^®-laid scrims consist of diagonally crossed threads that are neither woven nor knitted at the crossing points, but are laid and fixed with binders. Scrims are used where woven fabrics are oversized and knitted constructions are too malleable due to their mesh-structure.

That makes it incredible strong.

BAFA^®-laid scrims have a characteristic of a 6- to 10-directional yarn arrangement. This provides a higher tensile strength for load bearing. The diagonal weft yarn position creates a star-shaped tensile improvement which offers the unique advantage compared to rectangular constructions.

BAFA^® can do what you want in order to meet your needs.

BAFA^® functions exactly to your wishes. We customise our product to your specifications. You decide whether your scrim is biodegradable, inflammable, recyclable, high tenacity, hydrophobic,low-shrinkage, UV resistant, corrosion-resistant and/or water resistant; or whatever your requirements are. You choose the kind of yarn from various natural or man-made fibres as well as the construction, the characteristics and the behaviour of the binder. You decide if you just want our scrim “plain” or BAFA^®-laid scrim with a non-woven on one side or even on both sides. Moreover it’s your choice of the weight for the non-woven.
