Advanced fiber options
Thermoplastic fibers, basalt, and other non-traditional reinforcement materials expand the fabric portfolio.
Specialty Fabrics
Custom weaving and finishing capabilities for advanced fibers, specialized materials, and non-traditional fabric constructions.
Custom weaving and fabric finishing
JPS continually explores new reinforcement materials and fabric constructions. Alongside glass, Astroquartz®, para-aramid, and UHMWPE, we can weave thermoplastic fibers, basalt, and other non-traditional materials. Our engineering and finishing capabilities help tailor the bond between a fabric and its coating, supporting customers who need a material construction or finish developed for a specific application.
Specialty fabric capabilities
Specialized weave patterns
JPS develops non-traditional fabric constructions for application-specific requirements.
Custom fabric finishes
Finish chemistry can be developed to tailor coating bond strength with the underlying fabric.
Engineering support
JPS engineers and scientists work with customers on new reinforcement and finishing needs.
Materials and development options
