New Econostitch 66 & 5445

Econostitch is our most economic nylon peel ply with red tracers that make it more visible before and after a cure, reducing the possibility of the peel ply being left on the part. To better serve our customers, we’ve added Econostitch 66 & 5445.

The NEW Econostitch 66 is a heat set and scoured peel ply that is similar to our standard Econostitch with the added benefit of being made from nylon 6,6. The nylon 6,6 provides improved strength with improved removal characteristics.

The NEW Econostitch 5445 is also heat set and scoured nylon peel ply. It has a tighter weave and is designed for improved release characteristics, making it easier to peel off than our other economy grade, non-coated peel plies.

Airtech Europe Expands Production Capabilities

Our Luxembourg division, Airtech Europe, continues to develop and enhance its products and services to help composite part manufacturers to reduce their production costs.

The 8000 m² (86,000 ft²) expansion of the existing Luxembourg facility will accommodate more warehouse space and production equipment, including a separate area dedicated to custom engineered products.

The new kit line will greatly increase the capacity and capability of producing vacuum bagging materials in customer-specified shapes. Kitted materials help composite part manufacturers by reducing production time, eliminating waste and controlling cost.

Airtech Europe had already added new office space in July 2007 in order to dedicate more manufacturing space to value added services and new products in the existing building. Nevertheless, the continuous growth of the composite market has made more important changes necessary for the plant. Thanks to the doubling of the size of the Airtech Europe plant, customers will benefit from a larger range of services. The expansion is a major milestone in corporate site development strategy.
