After a couple of months of preparation we have moved to a new location in Leeuwarden with more production floorspace, larger offices and a larger warehouse. For the coming years this will hopefully be enough to accommodate our further growth. Inhouse twisting will be added shortly and that will fill up the production room nicely […]
Read moreSWIFT Fiber provides technical yarns suitable for braiding. These yarns are engineered to provide superior strength and coverage. Braiding yarns are commonly used in a variety of wire and cable braided applications like in securing cable bundles (cable assemblies), typically in the aerospace and automotive industry. One of those yarns is Nomex®, which is used […]
Read more2020 was a year full of challenges, adaptation to a new reality and less face to face interactions. We hardly travelled and managed the business and sales from behind our desks in our (home) offices. Despite those challenges, we have managed to weather the storm and made some important decisions for the future: From March […]
Read moreThe current situation (Brexit, COVID-19) could have dramatic effects on your supply chain. Shipments which are delayed, empty containers that are on the wrong continent, air express at very high costs and large queues at customs. Just a couple of headlines of the business news of January this year. We all have to deal with […]
Read moreBinding applications are very common in the production of electric, communication and fiber optic cables. SWIFT Fiber supplies the full range of binders. From high tenacity polyester binders to para-aramid binders for the highest strength with virtually no shrinkage. From coated binders for improved handling to low shrink polyester or even ultra low shrink binders […]
Read moreCountless applications are demanding for lower weights with similar or even higher performance. Applications like narrow fabrics for aerospace and automotive, small braids for fishing, automotive or sports. UHMWPE is also used in medical applications for instance as suture yarn. These developments fuel the demand for small dtex (small denier) high performance yarns like para-aramid […]
Read morePara-aramid (commonly known under the brands Kevlar® or Twaron®) is used in hundreds of applications like in technical textiles, high performance sails, ropes, lines, thermoplastic reinforcement, cables and much more. Para-aramid does not shrink, does not burn and has a very high strength with almost no elongation. Also over time, para-aramid doesn’t show any extension […]
Read moreStainless steel is also known as inox steel or inox and is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content. Stainless steel has a very good corrosion resistance and is now available as a yarn. SWIFT Fiber can provide you the stainless steel yarn both in the form of spun yarn and continues […]
Read moreFor high temperature applications like hot gas filtration, textile fire barriers, insulation blankets, high temperature cables, this special sewing thread could be used. Basically every application which would see 400°C continuously or thermal shock up to 600°C would benefit from such a yarn. This high temperature resistant sewing thread is made with high temperature resistant […]
Read morePolyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colourless organic thermoplastic polymer in the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family and is used in many engineering applications. PEEK has an excellent chemical and thermal resistance and could be an alternative to meta-aramid and PPS filaments. Customers appreciate the non-stick character of the filaments in processing belts as well as in […]
