| Corporate profile |
|
| Fabrene® woven polyethylene fabrics offer extremely high tensile and tear strength in relation to its light weight. Fabrene is resistant to tearing and to climate extremes including ultraviolet sunlight exposure, is moisture proof, and is impervious to rot, mildew and most chemicals. It is also easy to handle, cut, staple and sew. The success of Fabrene Inc. in world markets is directly attributable to the development of proprietary woven polyethylene fabric technology, ISO 9001 production standards, wide coating width capabilities, and engineering support. |   |
The Fabric of Choice |
|
|
Fabrene has become the fabric of choice in many industrial applications including bale wrap, lumber wrap and other wrapping and bagging uses, as well as protective coverings from construction enclosures and roofing fabric to granular material storage covers, pond liners and air infiltration barriers, sports field and golf green covers. The list of uses grows constantly as the attributes of the fabric gain worldwide recognition. Frequently, the strength of Fabrene's engineering group is called on to match a final product to its intended use. |
Widest coating capability |
|
| Woven from oriented strands of polyethylene film (tapes), fabric can be then finished with transparent or color coatings on one or both sides in widths up to 156 inches (3,96 m).Typical roll lengths range from 460m to 4600m. Fabrene Inc. is recognized as the largest manufacturer of coated woven polyethylene fabrics in the world. Fabrene's 400, 000 sq. ft. fully automated plant in Ontario, Canada, has both the capacity to fill long run orders and the flexibility to engineer and produce specialized shorter runs. |  |
Strong Roots A Solid Future |
|
| Fabrene was developed
in the late sixties by Du Pont research laboratories and the
original plant was constructed exclusively for its production.
Fabrene, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Polymer Group,
Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed company specializing in
the design, manufacturing and marketing of engineered materials
for applications in hygiene, medical, wiping and industrial applications.
Fabrene now has 2 plants strategically located in North Bay, Ontario and Portland Oregon. In terms of production, this means customers have a more secure source of supply. In recent years, the company has expanded to include coated polypropylene fabrics, and from its acquired plant in Oregon, USA, paper-backed lumber wrap to complement its successful Arbrene line. |
