Composite Solutions for Energy
Permali has a global reputation as a manufacturer and supplier of innovative advanced material solutions. Our energy composite materials are used in demanding environments for a wide variety of protection and safety critical applications including the energy industry.
The company uses its extensive materials expertise and processing capabilities to produce a wide range of glass and aramid fibre reinforced standard and bespoke Permaglass® composite materials used in energy industries such as Offshore Oil Rigs and Marine applications. Permaglass® grades are also ideal composites in renewable energy fields.
This includes Oil Rig helipads and walkways where safety net systems, gates and guardrails are required to ensure the safety of staff.
All Permaglass® sheet grades are manufactured in-house and formulated to meet specific performance and regulatory standards, including fire and electrical insulation. The Permaglass® FRP sheet range offers alternative advanced material solutions to asbestos.

Our Production Capabilities
Energy Composites
Permaglass® FRP laminate sheet materials can be supplied as semi-finished stock sheet materials, from 0.3mm to 60mm thick, cut to size on request to suit customers’ production needs.
Permali also has 3 & 5 axis CNC machining, bonding, coating, painting and assembly capabilities, so finished, ready to install sub-assembled composite components with metal fixtures can alternatively be supplied to order.
Tuftane® Film Production Capabilities
Tuftane® TPU films are blended and blown film extruded in-house in film gauges from 25 microns (0.025 mm) to 750 microns (0.75 mm). Permali has slitting and rewinding facilities to supply films to order in roll widths and length, to optimise productivity and minimise scrap.
Tuftane® TPU Films for Personal Protection Equipment
TPU films
Tuftane® thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films are flexible and elastomeric with outstanding abrasion wear, tear strength and puncture resistance, along with outstanding environmental resistance to gases, ozone, water, oil and chemicals.
Tough, thin film material solutions
Tuftane® TPU films can be clear, translucent or a solid opaque colour, used with textile and flexible materials as laminating films, transparent membranes, fabric protective liners and barrier films. This makes them excellent, tough, thin film material solutions, used extensively in medical and industrial personal protection equipment (PPE).
Key products:
For more than 10 years, Permali has supplied specially formulated highly durable, fire resistant Tuftane® TPU film grades for manufacturers of high performance PPE equipment used in the nuclear industry including:
Gloves, headwear and safety boots
Coveralls and airtight body suits
