Parabeam BV was established in 1989 to seek new applications in the technical textiles market. The already available concept of velvet weaving, was the basis of what we know now as Parabeam^® 3D Glass Fabrics. When woven with a 100% E-glass yarn and impregnated with a thermoset resin, the unique capillary forces of the (glass) piles in the fabric absorb the resin and make sure that the fabric bounces back to it's pre-set original height again, thus forming a rigid and very light weight sandwich laminate.

Parabeam® 3D Glass Fabrics have found a wide acceptance in the market for numerous applications in the corrosion industry (double wall storage tanks), in the marine industry as well as in the building & construction and transport industry.The Parabeam® 3D Glass Fabric knows no equal in the market. The unique properties make it the ideal solution wherever a lightweight and rigid structure is required.

Melrob is confident that the addition of this innovative material to our UK portfolio will be a huge success for both companies. Please view our product pages under the Composites Industry sector for more details.
