Description

Flax and basalt fibers reinforcements permit to combine properties.of both materials. These braids are designed to manufacture prosthetic sockets.

  • Health : Flax is not dangerous for human: any particles during the handling of reinforcements, not-irritating and non-allergenic. The Basalt is an inert material, nontoxic and non-carcinogenic. Hence, our Basalt range (braids, tape, in sheet) can by handle safely.
  • Comfort : Flax composites provide damping properties never reached by the other fibers. Hence, orthopedic devices realized with ORTHOFLAX® fibers combined with our ORTHOPOXY® resin improve the comfort for the patient thanks to the reduction of shocks and vibrations during their activities.
    Furthermore, flax provides a heat insulation property which is not the case of carbon fiber which is very conductive. Hence, when the weather is very hot, the use of orthopedic devices is easier.
  • Compatible with our acrylic resins COPACRYL : The mechanical tests realized by our CPO partner have allowed us to validate this compatibility.
  • Impregnability : Compared to synthetic fibers (carbon, glass), the flax structure (cellulose) allows the resin to impregnate the fiber core. Compared to the synthetic fibers (carbon and glass), Basalt fibers provide also a good wettability and don’t absorb moisture.
  • Mechanical properties : Basalt fibers offer higher properties compare to glass fibers and flax fibers are similar to glass fibers.
  • Compatible with the other fibers : ORTHOFLAX® and ECO-BLACK ranges can be used in combinaison with other fibers.
  • Low environmental impact : Five times less energy necessary to be transformed compared to glass and 20 times less compared to carbon. Basalt is a natural resource from volcanic rock.
  • Renewable agriculture resource : 100% of our fibers are produced in France and Belgium, renewable and biodegradable.
