Advanced Solutions

Features & Benefits

Our roofing reinforcement material takes roofing to the next level:

Our weft inserted warp knit scrim products are produced with polyester, glass and/or specialty yarns to achieve the desired properties
Functional coating can be applied to enhance physical properties, reduce wicking and moisture absorption, and impart other unique attributes
Scrims can be flattened to improve adhesion
High tensile strength products (stitched) are resistant to delamination for more demanding coating processes
Our binder systems can be customized as needed

Products

Milliken has developed a fiberglass reinforcement scrim that adds strength and durability to modified bitumen roofing, as well as helping with the manufacturing process. When modified bitumen roofing is produced, hot asphalt is applied. Our fiberglass scrim has a higher melting point than traditional PET material and will hold up to the heat and keep the roofing strong.

Fiber glass and PET reinforced scrims to add strength and durability
Our Stabilon® reinforced scrims are bonded to polyester and/or glass nonwovens
Typical binder systems are stirene butadiene and acrylic; can be customized as needed
Yarn density ranges from 3-10 yarns/inch (1.2-3.9 yarns/cm) in the machine and cross machine directions
Tensile strength ranges from 700N/5cm up to 5000 N/5cm
High tensile strength products (stitched) are resistant to delamination for more demanding coating processes

Stabilon™ Laid Scrim

Stabilon™ technology combines polymeric binders with industrial yarns to form cost-effective fabrics in both rectilinear and multi-axial grid constructions. Optionally, these grids can be laminated to nonwovens to produce composite reinforcements. Laid scrims reinforce products ranging from tissue, foils, and kraft paper, to gypsum and cement boards, flooring, roofing, and many other products. Learn More

With over 30 years in the weft roofing industry and a pioneer in weft technology for commercial roofing, Milliken offers engineered reinforcements for single ply applications that are unparalleled in the industry. Used with TPO, EPDM and PVC roofing products, we make single-ply roofing solutions stronger and longer lasting.

Our weft inserted warp knit scrim products are produced with polyester, glass and/or specialty yarns to achieve the desired properties
Typical yarn density is 6-24 yarns/inch (2.3-9.4 yarns/cm) in the machine and cross machine densities
Functional coating can be applied to enhance physical properties, reduce wicking and moisture absorption, and impart other unique attributes
Scrims can be flattened to improve adhesion
