Lapinus is the world’s largest producer of engineered fibres specially designed to be added to materials to give them new and enhanced properties. The addition of only small amount of fibre can have a dramatic effect on the end product.
 
Apart from in friction and gasket materials, plastics, coatings etc. our fibres are more and more being used in all kinds of other areas. Depending on the type of application, Lapinus  fibres are employed because of their excellent heat-resistance and dimensional stability, unique L:D ratio and reinforcing properties. The multitude of ways Lapinus fibres can enhance a product means that there are all kinds of issues and problems that can be solved using the right mix with the right fibre. Surface treatments applied to the fibres themselves further extend the range of properties and possibilities. Almost every parameter of Lapinus fibres can be precisely adjusted to tailor the characteristics and performance of the end product.
 
Some examples of special applications are the use of our fibres in hot gas filter elements, cementious materials such as plasters and renders, modified rubbers and adhesives.
 
What makes Lapinus as a company unique is the way it works with its customers to create new advanced materials, from start to finish. We are not just a raw material supplier, but have our own R & D laboratories, pilot plant and test facilities. We can take an idea from concept right through to production.
Apart from actively developing and enhancing its range of fibres, Lapinus is constantly providing suggestions for formulations involving its fibres, giving advice on production recipes and how to process them. It is through this dedication to the customer that Lapinus has become the leader in its field.
