CRENETTE Open Mesh Laid Scrim
KURAMAS Multi-axial Warp Knitted Fabric
KURAMAS Multi-axial Warp Knitted Fabric
Features Main applications
FRP
* FRP is fiber-reinforced plastics. It has high strength, light weight, and excellent weather resistance and radio wave transmittance.
Construction materials, housing materials (bathtubs, bathroom units, etc.), industrial machinery materials, purification vats and tanks, boats and vehicles, FRP pipe (sewer pipe, snow melting and removal pipe, agricultural water pipe, etc.), wind-power generator blades, etc.
Application1 Body parts for boats and vehicles, etc. Application2 FRP pipes
Application3 Components for medical equipment
Reinforcement of concrete
Repair of bridges, seismic reinforcement, etc.
Application4 Construction, repair and reinforcement

Application 1
Products
Body parts for boats and vehicles, etc.
(Problem of conventional product)
· FRP is made by laminating uniaxial direction sheets several times by hand in order to reach the prescribed strength of FRP.
Solution by “KURAMAS”
· “KURAMAS” is combined by multi-layers. It can be reduced the working time.

Application 2
Products
FRP pipe for city water and sewer system, snow melting and removal pipe, agricultural water pipe, etc.
(Problem of conventional product)
· FRP pipe needs more strength to withstand the heavy pressure from ground, and water.
Solution by “KURAMAS”
· “KURAMAS” is stronger than woven fabric in the same weight per area because straight fibers are laid in “KURAMAS”. In addition, sheet winding with “KURAMAS” can be more efficient to multiple filaments at once, compared to the conventional filament-winding manufacturing method.

Application 3
Products
Components for measurement medical equipment (MRI, CT etc.)
(Problem of conventional product)
· Medical measurement equipment must be manufactured from light and strong materials that are nonmetallic to avoid influencing the electromagnetic waves required during measurement.
Solution by “KURAMAS”
· Nonmetallic, strong and lightweight parts for compact equipment can be made by “KURAMAS”. In addition, it is suitable for manufacturing methods such as resin transfer molding (RTM) and infusion molding. It helps to improve the work environment.

Application 4
Products
New construction, repair and reinforcement of bridges (bridge piers, floor panels, girders, etc.), tunnels, buildings (walls, beams, columns, etc.) and other structures
(Problem of conventional product)
· It is needed to laminate multiple layers of fiber sheets at directions other than 0° and 90° in order to increase shearing strength and compression strength.
Solution by “KURAMAS”
· “KURAMAS” already consists of multiple layered sheets with different fiber alignments. It is possible for one sheet of “KURAMAS” to make quasi-isotropic reinforcement. In addition, the work efficiency of the adhesive resin can be improved by combined “KURAMAS” with nonwoven fabric.
