Extrusion (monofilament, multifilament)
The company’s expertise in extrusion coating is a major strength. Our extrusion capability now extends to the functionalization of a wide range of monofilament and multifilament yarns using this process.
This technology is applied in a variety of sectors, including industry, sports and leisure, medical, construction, automotive, railway, and aerospace.
FIBER ASSEMBLY / COMMINGLING
Thermoplastic hybrid yarns are gaining increasing interest in the composites industry due to their ability to combine mechanical strength with ease of processing. They are composed of a blend of reinforcing fibers (glass, carbon, aramid, etc.) and thermoplastic matrices such as polyamide 11 (PA11), polycarbonate (PC), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetherimide (PEI), or polyether ether ketone (PEEK).
The integration of two different materials into a single yarn made from continuous filaments opens up new possibilities and applications — through processes such as knitting, braiding, weaving, and even developments using TFP (Tailored Fiber Placement) technology. These yarns enable the direct production of composite materials without the need for an additional resin impregnation step.
Pultrusion
COUSIN® has developed a unique manufacturing process for FRP (Fibre Reinforced Products), primarily intended for reinforcing optical fiber cables.
These composite rods (reinforced with glass, aramid, or carbon) can also replace steel in many applications while being lighter, non-magnetic, and corrosion-resistant.
IMPREGNATION/COATING
The coating workshop is equipped with numerous impregnation lines for processing textile strands individually or in bundles.
Regardless of the type of yarn being treated glass, carbon, aramid, polyester, or high molecular weight polyethylene a wide range of resins can be used for impregnation: polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, PVC, and more.
The desired properties may include : abrasion resistance, improved UV resistance, fire-retardant properties, etc.
BRAIDING
We also specialize in braiding technologies, with the possibility of resin impregnation.
