Process:
The Laid Scrim manufacturing process creates an open mesh pattern by “laying” cross-direction yarns between two sets of machine direction yarns, coating the structure with a binder, and then drying it to fix the structure in place. Some styles can include a substrate like a polyester, polypropylene, glassmat nonwoven, or tissue paper. Grid patterns can include square or tri-directional and are typically constructed of fiberglass, polyester, carbon, or aramid yarns. All of our scrims are custom-designed and manufactured, in roll sizes optimized for our customers’ production lines.
