## 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

### Advanced fiber options

Thermoplastic fibers, basalt, and other non-traditional reinforcement materials expand the fabric portfolio.

### 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

### Non-traditional materials and constructions

Weaving capabilities extend beyond the established glass, quartz, aramid, and UHMWPE product families.

- Thermoplastic reinforcement fibers
- Basalt and other advanced materials
- Non-traditional weave patterns

### Fabric finishing across fiber types

JPS can finish a wide range of woven materials, with chemistry selected to support the bond between a coating and its fabric reinforcement.

- Glass and Astroquartz®
- Para-aramid and UHMWPE
- 3M Nextel®, carbon, and basalt

### Application-specific development
