Woven fabrics and refinements

Barrday ist ein führender Entwickler und For the protective and composite markets Barrday is a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced fabrics. These include high-performance fibers such as aramid, basalt, carbon, structural glass and high molecular weight polyethylene. Canvas, basket, twill and satin fabrics, as well as other proprietary fabrics such as Sentinel (quasi-unidirectional) and SOS (multi-layer) are also part of Barrday’s product portfolio.

Coatings and prepregs

As well fabrics and unidirectional prepregs are coated and laminated by Barrday. This is feasible for high-performance fabrics and fibers such as aramid, carbon, E-glass and structural glass. The coating is based on thermoset and thermoplastic resin systems.

Unidirectional composites

Barrday is a technological leader in the design and development of unidirectional materials based on proprietary resin formulations. The portfolio includes composites of aramid and high molecular weight polyethylene, furthermore thermoplastic tapes based on PEKK, PEEK, PEI, PVDF or PPS and others. Barrday can also process fibers made of carbon, structural glass, aramid and ceramics. The advanced materials are particularly well suited to the aerospace, defense, energy and industrial sectors.

Barrday and BÜFA Thermoplastic Composites

Since spring 2021 Barrday and BÜFA Thermoplastic Composites have been cooperating. Hand in hand, both partners are shaping the future of the composites industry. BÜFA distributes thermoplastic UD tapes for Barrday. These are used for industrial applications in many European countries.
