- Multi-axial Fabrics
- Braids
- Substrate for prepreg
As a Continuous yarn:
- Pultrusion
- Filament Winding
- Substrate yarn for nickel coating
- D-LFT
- Yarn for precision cutting into chopped strands

As a Functional yarn:
- For use in commercial greenhouses as a bio-based trellis yarn
Product Example
High bio-content pultruded profile
Traditional natural fibers are made of twisted slivers that contain varying amounts of cellulose and are not well suited for the pultrusion process.
BioMid, being continuous and containing 100% cellulose, provided an optimal solution. Combined with a high bio-content resin, a ~70% bio-content pultruded profile was able to be produced.
