Laid Scrim

Laid Scrim is an essential component used by customers in construction, industrial and composite markets in order to provide dimensional stability, tensile strength, tear resistance, fire resistance, anti-microbial properties, and water resistance.

• Cross machine (or fill) yarns are “laid” at a 90° angle between two sheets of machine direction (or warp) yarns. In tri-directional constructions, the angle of the fill yarn is controlled by the production width of the scrim and the number of arms on the turbine.
• Fibers typically used are fiberglass (22 tex -330 tex) and polyester (44 dtex -2200 dtex), though other synthetic polymer fibers, natural fibers and high modulus yarns can be processed.
• Coating takes place in-line with a variety of binders that include polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride, acrylic, thermoplastic, styrene butadiene rubber and plastisol.
