Technology Overview
Whether your next engineered solution is on the drawing board, in the final stages of planning or already on the market, Saint-Gobain Technical Fabrics (SGTF) can help you make it stronger. SGTF designs and produces make-to-order fabric-based reinforcements for construction, industrial and specialty OEM products.
Our cost-effective reinforcement solutions can help improve tensile strength along with burst, tear, puncture and impact resistance, while helping you surpass stringent internal and external testing benchmarks.
While strength and stability are important factors in engineering a reinforcement fabric, so too is weight. Our commitment to innovation helps you achieve the delicate balance between weight and strength.
In addition to enhancing strength, SGTF products help optimize structural and dimensional stability. Our fabrics – combined with our technologically advanced coatings – help ensure minimal distortion, compression, stretching and cracking, enabling your product to maintain its integrity and performance characteristics.
Today, SGTF is the only company to offer you all these technology platforms from one source.
