More Informationen One of the major applications for fibre fillers of cotton fibres, polyamide fibres, polyester fibres and glass fibres is the production of synthetic material. Our fibres are used in different kinds of plastic.
Fibres like aramid fibres, cotton fibres, cellulose fibres, glass fibres, carbon fibres,
polyacrylonitrile fibres, polyamide fibres polyester fibres, rayon, fibrids, pieces of fabrics and cutted threads of cotton as well as short cut fibres of glass are used as fillers for thermo settings, thermo plastics and reaction resins.
Friction pads like brake pads, disk brakes, drum brakes, industrial linings and clutch linings for cars, lorries and track vehicles are safety parts, which require a high quality standard of raw materials. Several kind of fibres like aramid fibres, cotton fibres, glass fibres, jute fibres, carbon fibres, mineral fibres, polyacrylonitrile fibres, fibrids and polyethylene, cutted cotton threads as well as short cut fibres made of glass and polyacrylonitrile which are customized to requirements specification are used worldwide. Many well known manufacturers of friction pads trust in our experience and use the different kinds of fibres for their purposes.
With fibres, plasters and fillers, paints, clues and bituminous products get more crack resistant and reinforced. Additionally they are better to process.
Plasters for heat insulation with STW cotton fibres, cellulose fibres, glass fibres, carbon fibres, mineral fibres, polyacrylonitrile fibres, polypropylene fibres polyethylene fibrids and polypropylene as well as short cut fibres from glass are used worldwide. The big differences in temperature at building’s facades require a high quality of fibres made from cotton, cellulose, glass, carbon, mineral, polyacrylonitrile, polypropylene, fibrids, polyethylene as well as of short cut fibres from glass, polyacrylonitrile, polyamide and polypropylene.
Filter papers for automobiles, the industry and for the food industry require the highest degree of purity of fibres. With STW fibres, either on an organic or an inorganic basis the tensile strength, the folding strength and the wet strength are considerably improved. The addition of fibres from cotton, cellulose, polyacrylonitrile, rayon, polyethylene, polyester and polypropylene in a defined length and thickness optimises the form stability and porosity.
In the field of heat seal papers, STW offers special polyolefin – fibres like polypropylene fibres, fibrids, polyethylene fibres and polypropylene fibres, cutted cotton fibres, polyolefin fibrids as well as short cut fibres made from glass.
STW fibres from aramid, cotton, cellulose, jute, polyamide as well as cutted threads and cord threads coated with latex are also included in drive belts, notched belts, solid tyres, gaskets, industrial and household gloves.
Fibres from aramid, cotton, cellulose, jute and polyamide as well as cutted threads
strengthen solid tyres where they come into contact with the rim and obviate an expensive steel- or cord reinforcement.
Plastics
Plastics were one of the first and are still one of the most important applications for fibre fillers produced from cotton, polyamide, polyester and glass fibres as well as for chopped threads and fabric chips.

Friction Linings
Friction linings such as brake and clutch linings for cars, lorries and rail vehicles are safety products which demand an extremely high standard in terms of raw material quality. A great variety of fibre types chopped specifically to requirement are used worldwide. Well-known manufacturers of friction linings rely upon our expertise in fibre size reduction techniques.

Plasters and Fillers, Paints, Adhesives and Bituminous Products
A high degree of protection, crack prevention, reinforcement, thixotropy and achieving the best possible workability are among the properties sought when using fibres.
STW’s fibres have been meeting the highest possible requirements for decades. In the building industry, virtually all sectors can be covered with the greatest of success thanks to the number of various fibres and their properties.

Plasters for Heat Insulation Systems
STW fibres are used worldwide for the reinforcement of plasters. The broad variation in temperature of the substrate is very demanding of the fibre, in terms of its effectiveness.

Concrete Reinforcement
The addition of fibres in concrete inhibits the formation of micro cracks during the setting cycle of concrete and consequently, guarantees a considerably high strength factor.
As the formation of micro cracks is reduced, only limited water penetration is possible later on. This property of fibre-reinforced concrete as opposed to non-reinforced concrete is responsible for much greater durability.
Just a small addition of fibres can replace steel reinforcement in plasters.

Formable Board, Fibre Cement, Board and Catalyser Insulation
In the automotive industry, door linings and dash boards are partly manufactured from formable board. Thermoplastic fibrils give the formable board the necessary mouldability.
In fibre cement sheeting, fibrils are successfully used to support the cement and paint or pigments present.
Fibrils have also proven suitable as binding agents in the ceramic insulation in catalytic convertors, where they act as primary binders.

Filter Papers for Cars, Industry and the Food Sector demand the highest Fibre Purity
The addition of organic and inorganic fibres from STW improves tear- and wet- strength as well as resistance to creasing. The addition of fibres of a specified diameter and length optimizes dimensional stability, as well as porosity.
STW offers special polyolefin fibres and fibrils for the heat-sealable paper sector.

Drive Belts, Notched Belts, Solid Tyres, Gaskets & Industrial and Household Gloves
All these products may contain fibres from STW. Fibres can substitute for expensive fabric lining used in belts and because of this, their functions have become manifold. Improved flexibility permits extremely high transmission ratios.
Fibres strengthen solid tyres where they come into contact with the rim, obviating expensive steel- or cord-reinforcement.
In gaskets, STW fibres have successfully replaced asbestos which is hazardous to health. In industrial and household gloves, cotton fibres ensure comfort for the wearer.
