Originally known as NCS Martinply, 30 years later this 3D reinforcement continues to demonstrate the strength of it’s design in composite reinforcements. Recognizing that waviness in fiber alignment results in lower mechanical properties, NC-Ply was originally created with the strictest adherence to fiber alignment. The result of perfectly aligning the fibers is a no-crimp, highly […]
The ability to optimally managing the requirements of stiffness, stability, mechanical performance, pre-cutting, ease of handling, wetting, and fiber alignment for cosmetics requirements ultiimately determines the ease of manufacturing or the losses incurred in attempting to achieve a high-quality product. By applying proprietary weaving and glueing technologies, Texonic creates unidrectional woven fabrics (UD’s) with maximised […]
Uniflex™ is a Texonic proprietary technology designed to maintain the orientation of the fibers within the matrix, optimizing the flexibility/moldability and maximizing the ease of handling of the reinforcements. It is used for: The manufacturing of high-quality unidirectional reinforcements Stabilizing reinforcements Cosmetic parts Manufacturing help Field products Thin ply laminates for ultralight parts Instaform™ […]

More and more applications require ultra-thick and/or oversized laminates: Composite molds, mega-yachts, windmill blades, high-pressure liquids conduits, and civil engineering structures, are but a few. Texonic meets the demanding requirements of these applications with a unique product range derived from our proprietary NC-Ply™ technology. This range of infusable products offers: Configurations up to 150 oz/yd² […]
Today’s composite materials industry requirements are creating a demand for large-scale, reproducible reinforcements that can provide differing properties within the same structure. Traditionally, a main reinforcing material would provide the principal structural properties, and location-specific layers or directional reinforcements would be added in the zones where additional properties were required. Now, Texonic has the ability […]
Texonic is one of the few companies in the world offering true multiaxis/3D weaving with their one-of-a-kind weaving technology. This allows: Ultra-thick reinforcements with multiaxis/3-dimensional fiber orientation throughout Complete control of the fiber alignment to create specified stregth in multiple directions These cutting-edge custom products are setting the stage for futur breakthroughs in woven composite […]
For over 30 years, Texonic (formerly known as JB Martin) has been at the vanguard in weaving commingled thermoplastic and reinforcing fibers. Once woven, the fabric is suitable for use in various molding processes. It is by heating the material above the melting point of the matrix that the fabric is converted into composites. Thermoplastic […]
Flax fibers are increasingly being used in composite structures, and hemp is positioned to follow. They are caracterized by: A density of 1.4 gr/cm3 A similar specific tensile strength compared to E-Glass A slightly superior specific modulus rating compared to E-Glass Uses more appropriate for monolithic structures versus sandwich structures Dampening properties that make it […]
