AFN® produces a wide array of nonwoven veils and
mats using advanced fibers that meet our customers’ most
demanding performance requirements. A variety of different binder
systems can be used in conjunction with PAN carbon,
nickel-coated carbon, PBO, para-aramid, polyester and ECR-glass to develop a material that meets
your specifications.

AFN is pleased to offer a novel, high functioning nonwoven
material composed of PBO. Commercialized as Zylon® by the Toyobo Company, Ltd.
of Japan in 1999, these fibers lead to nonwovens that offer
significant performance improvements over carbon-aramid materials. This superiority
is

PBO fabrics are excellent candidates for very high modulus composite
materials and lightweight surface veils for covering composite
surfaces. These fabrics are unusually resistant to impact, flame,
abrasion, and high temperatures. They have very low moisture regain
and good dimensional stability when used as reinforcement.
