Our Team
Xamax Composite Surface Veil consists of a large class of synthetic fabrics designed to absorb liquid resins. These resins can be epoxy, bismaleimide, or styrene based like polyester or vinyl ester varieties. The composite reinforcement fibers are typically glass, but can also be carbon or aramid.
The use of a surface veil on a laminate composite surface offers protection from chemical corrosion and abrasion. Veils are high melt polyesters that have an excellent appearance and surface smoothness, making your product look aesthetic. Our surfacing veils can be customized to your needs based on weight, aesthetics, chemical free fibers and surface treatment additives (like optical brighteners, TiO2, UV additives and microbial treatments). Depending on your application, they can also be printed with different colors to enhance surface effects

Xamax Founder, President, CEO and Chief Inventor Engineer | Entrepreneur | Inventor | Leader

Martin later merged the two companies and grew Xamax Industries from a US focused company providing electrical insulation to a global company producing industrial, consumer and technical products. Martin lived his philosophy ‘Imagination Becomes Reality’ by making it his daily practice: writing dozens of patents and creating inventive products to solve customer problems.
Martin taught his colleagues, both internally and externally, many lessons:
1. Create your own path;
2. Live fully and appreciate life;
3. Give willingly;
4. Don’t give up, be creative finding solutions;
5. Be curious and keep learning;
6. Take risks
Martin fought cancer heroically, patiently, diligently; his spirit continues to infuse Xamax’s vision, culture, products and customer service. His family remains committed and engaged with Xamax. All of us at Xamax are dedicated to continuing Martin’s legacy, living his values, remaining devoted to our colleagues and partners and building on the strong foundation he built.
