BGF Industries has been a major producer of highper formance fabrics

Tag : Thermal Fabric
Aramid fibers are several times stronger than steel, light weight,and nonflammable. Carbon provides very high strength and highthermal conductivity, and is very low in weight and density. Fiberglass has high tensile strength, high heat and chemical resistance,and is dimensionally stable. BGF's finish technology creates a bondbetween the specified fabric and our customer's resin system. Theresulting composite fabric meets or exceeds military, aerospace,and other relevant specifications.
Blast mitigation and anti-spalling composites
BGF supplies fabrics for Government programs such as: MRAP, HUMVEEadvanced combat helmet (ACH), and Israeli Defense Force (IDF)helmet. Our products are used in spall liners and EFP kits, forprotection against IED and EFP threats BGF also engineersspecialized protective products for NBC protection, aircraft blastcontainment systems, and custom products for fire suppression inthe transportation industry.
Bespoke composite armor
BGF’s strengths are in partnering with you to create customsafety products which address multiple threats. Our expertise incomposites reinforcements gives us a unique perspective fordetermining the most efficient and effective system for success.BGF’s woven and unidirectional fabrics made fromKevlar®, Twaron®, S-2 Glass® and Shieldstrand®fibers can be engineered for hybrid composite solutions.
Turnkey composite armor solutions
We work closely with our fiber suppliers to understand thecharacteristics of the raw materials utilized and develop a customprocess to manufacture fabric for every unique situation. Some ofthe processes available include lamination, layering and cuttingfor integration into any application. BGF also utilizes its ownresearch and development laboratory for testing ballisticsproperties, chemical analysis and prototype development.
About BGF
As a strategic supplier to the aerospace and advanced compositesindustries, BGF Industries has been a major producer of highperformance fabrics for nearly a century. We engineer a full rangeof technical fabrics made from high strength fiberglass, carbon,and aramid fibers to supply key aircraft manufacturers andgovernment agencies across the globe.
BGF increased production of ballistic fabrics in mid-2002 tosupport the US military in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today,BGF is a major supplier to many US Government agencies that requirefabrics for personal protection, vehicle armor, blast containment,and other custom protective applications.
Our mission is to provide the highest quality ballistic fabricspossible to ensure the personal safety of our armed forces and thecivilians they protect. Contact BGF with your next Governmentsolicitation for fabric and allow us to help you accomplish yourmission.
