Create, organize and promote a technical flax industry dedicated to the development of ecodesigned products that incorporate high-performance flax fibre.
Sector's goal is to make technical flax the third most-used reinforcement fibre for composites, after glass and carbon, in order to open the way for ecopolymers, ecocomposites and the creation of a new agroindustrial field of activity.
How :
Federate, through its members, all the players along the value chain, from varietal selection to the end consumer : culture and transformation of the plants, manufacture of roving, technical textile products and fibre-reinforced polymer compounds. In the way of processing tools, Fimalin utilizes technologies like injection, extrusion, infusion, forming and RTM.
