Scrims reinforce sailclothFor many years now laminated sails havesubstituted traditional sails made from denselywoven spinnaker cloth. Laminated sails dolook very much like surf sails and are oftencomposed of two layers of a transparent filmwhere in between a layer or several layers ofscrims are laminated.As the winds on the open sea can be verystrong, non-reinforced films would soon breakunder this stress, therefore laminated sails arereinforced with scrims made from highperformance fibres. Due to the scrimreinforcement, laminates will last longer thanwoven sails. Kirson possesses many years ofexperience in converting aramide, PEN(polyethylene naphthalate), polyester and PEyarnsas well as several other high-tech-fibresfor scrims.Scrims reinforce flooring productsFlooring in public buildings such as airports,railway stations or administrative buildings isexposed to a lot of mechanical stress. Not onlylarge numbers of people but many vehiclesincluding fork-lift trucks may use such flooringday in, day out. Good flooring must bear thisdaily stress without any loss of performance orquality.The larger the covered surface is, the higherthe demands will be that the flooring materialshall retain its dimensional stability. Thisimportant requirement can be fulfilled by theuse of scrims or scrim/nonwoven laminatesduring the manufacturing of carpets, PVC orlinoleum-flooring.The use of scrims will often improve theproduction process of the flooringmanufacturer as well and thus help to increaseefficiency.
