Automotive
JPS Composite Materials has built a foundation of innovative products for the automotive industry. We provide materials for galvanic protection, raw materials, honeycomb panels for weight savings, fiberglass fabrics to provide dent and ding resistance, and fiberglass for sound insulation. Our PCB substrate services will also support your electronic needs for vehicles. Our team of experts can work with you to create customized solutions that meet your specific needs.
JPS Composite Materials is also a leading manufacturer of DuPont Kevlar®, Teijin Twaron®, and para-aramid fabrics, used for structural support and impact resistance, as well as sound insulation, and safety.
For automotive applications, this means we are well prepared to help you find ways to reduce vehicle weights, improve strength-to-weight ratios, increase sound dampening, and provide materials suitable for dent resistance and repair. We also offer PCB substrate material that is lightweight, durable, and heat-resistant for use in electronic components such as sensors, wiring, and circuit boards. Our products are designed to withstand harsh automotive environments and provide reliable performance.
JPS is committed to supplying new solutions tailored to your individual needs. We offer a multitude of different materials, fiberglass fabrics, and finish options to ensure that each solution best meets your specific application as well as raw material, supply chain, and logistic needs.
Insulation for Power Generation
JPS Composite Materials manufactures a complete line of glass fabrics specifically designed as mica-backed tapes for insulation in electric motor and turbine applications. We have worked hard to develop low-thickness, high-strength fiberglass fabrics that meet the most demanding applications.
JPS fiberglass fabrics offer excellent temperature insulation and are capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions with minimal rot or organic contamination. Some of these applications include:
- Ablation (i.e. sound dampening)
- Pipe wrapping
- Lagging
- Engineered pads
- Spray shields
- Thermal blankets
- Barriers for aircraft and rocket engines
- Under the hood (for automotive applications)
- Heat reflectors
All of our fiberglass and specialty fiberglass fabric products are 100% asbestos-free. JPS has developed a specific line of Antimony-free materials to allow our fiberglass fabrics to pass the strictest of environmental regulations. Our Antimony-free fabrics are approved for use in Naval shipyards nationwide.
We offer fiberglass fabric finish chemistries designed for use in combination with mica and other ceramic coatings, rubber, silicones, thermosets, and thermoplastic coatings. We can also design fabric finishes to be used with many varieties of films and foils.
Recreational: Boat/Tooling/Surf
JPS Composite Materials is the leading supplier of technical solutions for surfboards and stand up paddleboards. We recognize that a superior surf substrate must be a multifaceted solution. The JPS brand of Great White™ surf fabrics has been recognized as having the highest clarity, with the brightest whiteness, in the surf industry. We specially developed our Great White™ finish to offer optimal clarity when used with polyester and epoxy resins, to help make your graphics really pop!
The Great White™ finish offers a soft hand for easy board glassing while maintaining critical strength to minimize kick damage and breakage. Our Great White™ surfboard fabrics are the industry choice for workability, whiteness, and strength.
- For the manufacturer, Great White™ offers an excellent hand that lies on the blank smoothly without wrinkles.
- For the designer, Great White™ provides a whiter palette to make graphics pop.
- For the surfer, Great White™ adds strength for championship performance.
JPS offers full lines of glass, para-aramid, thermoplastic, and specialty fabrics suitable for surf and other recreational/sporting good applications. Our fiberglass fabrics are currently found in everything from stand-up paddleboards and nitro-boats, to pole vault shafts and top fuel dragsters. We have PCB substrates that will meet your most demanding electrical applications. For surfboard construction, we offer fabrics that are compatible with both polyester and epoxy resins.
Para-Aramids / Protection
JPS Composite Materials has dedicated years to the development of materials and fiberglass fabrics capable of effectively providing protection from threats.
JPS Composite Materials is one of the largest weavers of aramids and other high-performance fabrics in North America. Our fiberglass fabrics include Kevlar®, Twaron®, Dyneema®, Spectra®, and other high-performance brand fibers. These cutting-edge performance fabrics offer unmatched resistance to cuts, stabs, abrasions, and blunt force trauma while maintaining low weights, high strengths, and user comfort.
JPS engineers are currently working on the next generation of vehicle and aircraft protection and projectile containment technologies. Our strategic partnerships with vendors, universities, and government agencies ensure that JPS customers will benefit from the latest developments in para-aramid research and materials. Our team of experts is committed to providing our clients with innovative solutions that meet their specific needs and exceed their expectations.
We pioneered weaving para-aramid yarns into fabric. We understand the market and are constantly innovating to meet the needs of tomorrow’s soldiers and protectors.
Electronics
Fiberglass reinforcements from JPS Composite Materials provide excellent electrical insulation and high-temperature durability. Our fiberglass fabrics are used as laminate reinforcements in printed circuit boards, as well as to provide insulation and strength to electrical transformers and switches. Our e-glass, S-glass, and Astroquartz ® fabrics provide low dielectric strength, high-temperature dimensional stability, and good mechanical strength, making our fiberglass an ideal solution to several complex problems.
We are pleased to announce that our fiberglass fabrics are now available with full spread yarn technology. Our spread glass capabilities can be married with the ideal electronic fabric finish suitable for your resin chemistry, allowing for improved resistance to cracking and crazing, improved signal integrity, and CAF resistance.
Our fiberglass fabrics can be tailored to work with FR-4 and other epoxy-based systems, as well as cyanate ester, polybutadiene, BT, phenolic, melamine, polyimide, and PTFE coatings, among many others. Our customizable glass finishes can be matched to your resin system and specification requirements to improve reliability, electrical, thermal, and signal integrity performance. Our electronic fabric finishes are also proven to have excellent adhesion and peel strength, ensuring a strong bond between the fabric and resin.
JPS Composite Materials is a member of IPC 4412 committee, and actively certifies our fiberglass fabrics to the specification governing the use of glass fabrics in printed circuit boards.
