the Regenerative Process
100% Regenerated Glass Fiber Mat Production
Verretex uses a wet laid production line to produce glass fiber mats to be used in:
- Building and Construction: These mats are used as a substrate in roofing shingles, wall coverings, and flooring underlayments. They provide reinforcement and help in moisture resistance and durability of the construction materials.
- Automotive Industry: In vehicles, these mats are used in headliners, insulation panels, underbody shields, and trunk liners. They contribute to sound insulation, thermal management, and overall structural integrity of the automotive parts.
- Marine Industry: For boat construction, wet laid glass fiber mats are utilized in hulls and decks to enhance strength and resistance to water.
- Energy Sector: These mats are employed in wind turbine blades and in insulation for industrial plants. They help in improving the performance and longevity of the equipment.
- Electronics: Glass fiber mats are used in printed circuit boards and other electronic components due to their excellent electrical insulation properties.
- Sports Equipment: In sports, these materials can be found in water and snow sports equipment like surfboards and skis, where they provide structural reinforcement and durability.
Restoring Recycled Fibers
Thermal recycling processes can be used to recover glass fibers from glass fiber composites. However, even if they look clean, these glass fibers are still low quality with residual carbons and microcracks which prevent them from being used in new products. Verretex technology cleans these fibers on the microscopic scale so they can be reused to make new products.
The Verretex Difference
Verretex purchases glass fiber from recyclers of glass fiber composites and regenerates the mechanical and flowability properties of the the low quality fibers to make high quality glass fiber mats. Our process is able to restore the properties to the point that our products can be used to replace virgin material in hundreds of applications.
