Discover the latest breakthrough in composite manufacturing with FIBERROLL® 304, an innovation from BORFLEX®. This range of high-performance draping rolls pushes the boundaries of AFP technology and offers unrivalled customisation to meet the specific needs of every project. Customisation is available in terms of material type, dimensions, marking, colour and quantities (single units, small to large production runs)!
1. FIBERROLL® 304: A Revolution in Performance
The BORFLEX® Group will be exhibiting at the JEC World 2024 trade fair [Stand 6F89], and we are delighted to invite you to discover the Group’s latest innovations, in particular our range of rollers designed for high-temperature draping, the FIBERROLL® range.
Unveiled at JEC 2023, our latest product, the FIBERROLL® 304, has recently reached a significant milestone: it exceeded 5 kilometres of high-temperature drape life during tests carried out in collaboration with our partner Airbus Atlantic, representing an increase of more than 200 per cent compared with our previous range.
FIBERROLL® 304 is the result of several years of in-depth research into the behaviour of elastomers when exposed to high temperatures, supported by in situ testing. Its unique design, comprising a rubber compound specially developed for this application, ensures both the necessary deformation for draping and the maintenance of the roller’s cylindrical shape.

3. AFP: Technology for Efficiency
Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) is a revolutionary technology in the field of composite manufacturing. It enables the automated placement of reinforcing fibres onto a matrix to create composite parts. This process is often robotised, ensuring extreme precision and unrivalled repeatability. By using AFP, manufacturers can produce complex composite parts with increased efficiency and reduced downtime. Our FIBERROLL® rollers designed specifically for AFP are engineered to deliver optimal performance, even in the most demanding environments. Thanks to their advanced technical specifications, these rollers enable the precise and consistent placement of reinforcing fibres, thereby contributing to the quality and reliability of the composite parts produced. Furthermore, FIBERROLL is a high-performance consumable that saves time in your processes, thanks to its impressive service life. This exceptional durability makes it a cost-effective and reliable choice for the automated placement of reinforcing fibres in the composite parts manufacturing process.
4. Discover our exclusive offering at the JEC World 2024 trade fair [STAND 6F89]
