It seems that their potential for development is still far from being exhausted as manufacturers keep inventing ever more sophisticated product concepts and procedures that will enable fiber materials to be used in a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n

These extend from architectural lightweight constructions made of weatherproof ETFE fabrics and foils (Ceno Tec, Seele Cover) and double-wall lightweight concrete panels using spacer fabrics (M\u00fcller Textil) to surgical clothing that protects from infections and is very comfortable to wear. These textiles are made of nonwovens (Fibertex), in other words, fabrics and fleeces that are not woven or knitted and produced with foil membranes on the inside of the material.<\/p>\n

Fibrous materials from recycled raw materials are likewise becoming ever more popular. Examples include the textile fabric Batyline R made by the French manufacturer Ferrari, which is used as an upholstery fabric for outdoor and office furniture. Under the name Texyloop Ferrari has moreover established a pan-European collection network including a complex recycling system, thanks to which coated textile fabrics can be reused within a self-contained loop system. This helps improve the eco-balance immensely, given that about 80 percent of environmental impact is commonly attributed to the production of raw materials.<\/p>\n

Even plastics manufacturers are increasingly using natural fibers to raise the percentage of renewable raw materials in their polymer materials, thereby saving on resources. One example is Evonik\u2019s Vestamid product range, made from a blend based on castor oil and bamboo fibers. Vestamid\u2019s properties are similar to those of fiber-reinforced plastics \u2013 but with a subtle smell of wood.<\/p>\n

The use of basalt fibers for lightweight constructions in vehicle construction is setting another trend. They are derived from molten volcanic rock, and the use of this material is expected to improve the mechanical, chemical and thermal properties compared with glass fiber reinforcements. An added advantage is that production uses far less energy. Manufacturers include Basaltex and Asa.Tec, who supplied the basalt fibers for the chassis concept “Light Car \u2013 Open Source” designed by EDAG.<\/p>\n
