BGF INDUSTRIES, INC. ANNOUNCES NEW NONWOVEN PRODUCT


GREENSBORO, N.C BGF Industries, Inc. a major supplier of high performance fabrics for many industrial uses, introduces BGFMat2™ to their Industrial Nonwovens product line. BGFMAT2™ is an updated version of the original BGFMAT® product. The recently expanded and modernized Industrial Nonwovens facility in Altavista, Viriginia manufactures a more uniform product on new state-of-the-art equipment. BGFMAT2™ retains the same thermal and acoustical properties as the original BGFMAT® but provides better quality and uniformity. The original BGFMAT® will be phased out and replaced by BGFMAT2™.

BGFMat2™ is a mechanically bonded glass fiber insulating blanket that provides reliable, superior performance at operating temperatures up to 1200ºF. Manufacturing controls include the use of carefully selected glass textile fibers to ensure uniformity of mechanical bonding with no additional binders. A finely engineered needling process creates uniform insulating efficiency during extended exposure to elevated temperatures.

BGFMat2™ offers good drapeability, easily conforming to irregular surfaces. It is odorless, does not contribute to metal corrosion, resists mold, decay, and vermin. The fibers are non-respirable 9 micron filament diameter, and provide excellent sound absorption and resistance to vibration without powdering.

For more information on BGFMAT2™ or other products manufactured by BGF Industries, please contact John Forsythe or Steve Witschen in Greensboro, North Carolina, 800-476-4845.
