Scott & Fyfe, a leading designer and producer of technical textiles, has announced the development and release of the company’s new Polyfast range of technical loop fabrics for the ever expanding abrasives industry.

The Polyfast range of fabrics has been tailored specifically towards the abrasives market offering a number of feature benefits in material cost, processing, end performance, logistics and user value, the manufacturer reports.

“Scott & Fyfe has sold more than 100 million square metres of fabric into this market so we understand the needs of the end users. We are excited about the prospect of taking a new product range global. The new range of products represent an assembly of breakthrough developments forged by focussed and robust feedback from our customers,” commented CEO, John Lupton.

Features

With five styles in the range, the company can provide a variety of strengths, weights and different characteristics to suit customers’ needs. Scott & Fyfe can offer products to meet customer requirements with widths available from 0.7m to 2.1m.

The products can be used with all adhesives systems and require less adhesive than competing products whilst providing better lamination and moisture resistance. The Polyfast range can be printed onto and are designed not to shrink which allows the discs to remain flat after production.

Suitable for coarse and fine abrasives as well as for use in high temperature applications, Polyfast is already receiving strong interest from the market, according to the company.
