What are FairPatch & FairStrips?

FairPatch and FairStrips are specialized forms of Fairmat Chips. They are cured, single-ply composite elements with fully customizable sizes and shapes. They feature continuous fibers and are ideal for applications that are either require a single ply or have well defined load paths.
They are designed for manual or robotic assembly, either directly into a tool or within another component.

Like the standard ones, these custom chips can be laminated with thermoset (wet or film), thermoplastic resins or combined with other virgin materials.
These can become a perfect solution for products that have very specific load cases or complex shapes.
Their individual quality is assured through Fairmat's traceability systems and 100% in-process quality inspection, and they are delivered with full specifications and a Certificate of Conformity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order these in non-standard geometries?

Yes — we can produce curved patches, long strips, or grid-aligned clusters based on your CAD input or tooling constraints. Our engineering team can help tailor a perfect chip for your application

Are these also cured like standard Fairmat Chips?

Yes, the curing process ensures dimensionally stable, process-ready elements that are compatible with downstream lamination.

What industries use FairPatch & FairStrips?

They’re ideal for structural inserts in mobility, sport, industrial tooling, or high-performance goods where shape complexity or where we only have  a very limited number of layers to work with. More specifically we have found a great fit in racquet sports, bikes, skis and running shoe insoles.
