Product description

Bekishield in fuel distribution
© Bekaert
Beki-Shield® GR stainless steel fibres have proven to be very efficient as filler materials for electrically conductive plastics. Very low amounts are sufficient to fulfil specifications and regulations for Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). The chopped fibers are bound together with polymeric binders specific for various polymer resins. They can be used as a master batch and have been designed for easy dispersion into the polymer matrix.Plastics with stainless steel fibers are also available as dry blend or melt compound, from a number of specialty compounders.

windmolen 180x67

Situation

Ultra-strong and length-stable material is needed to reinforce synchronous belts which drive wind turbine blades.

Solution

A high-quality steel cord comprised of 83 twisted wires.

Result

Optimum tensile strength, length stability and adhesion with the rubber belt providing the wind turbine manufacturer with a substantially lighter, maintenance-free and space-saving solution.
