Lantor Finishmat

Lantor Finishmat

Finishmat® is the Lantor range of surfacing veils for the composites industry. Finishmat® veils are used to improve surface cosmetics, create better chemical resistance or reduce the abrasion of composite structures.
Each Lantor Finishmat® offers good and even impregnation and is suitable for several production processes and applications.
Finishmat® D77 is a needle punched PAN fibre veil that is very drapeable. It is often used in closed mould processes where the soft Finishmat is applied directly against the mould or gelcoat to prevent osmosis and fibre print-through from glass fibre.

  • Suitable for closed mould processes
  • Excellent surface finish
  • Effective protection from osmosis

Lantor Finishmat® 6691

The Finishmat® 6691 range is a chemical bond polyester veil with tensile properties that make it suitable for filament winding and pultrusion processes. The consistent resin uptake creates a smooth, resin-rich layer that serves as chemical barrier and surface finish.

  • Suitable for continuous processes such as filament winding and pultrusion
  • Good tensile properties for controlled processing
  • Creates a chemical barrier and surface finish
