Standard and custom tapes, laminates, and panels
are available in a variety of combinations of matrix
resin systems including PP, PE, PETG, aPET, and
PA6, and include fiber reinforcements such as
E-Glass and S-Glass.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Superior strength-to-weight ratio
• Exceptional mechanical performance—
consistent and repeatable
• Deep deflection
• Corrosion resistance
• High fatigue resistance & tensile strength
• Excellent interlaminar shear strength
• Lighter weight than steel
• High modulus of elasticity
• High temperature performance
• Low VOCs
VALUE SOLUTION
• Ideal in applications where high stiffness and
light weight performance are critical
• Replacement of metal, wood, and other less
efficient materials in order to improve overall
product performance while reducing weight,
cost, and complexity
• Part consolidation
• Simplified assembly
• A good choice for constant cross-section
profiles
• Laminates available in continuous lengths
• Specialty surface treatments available to
improve bonding
• Full machining capabilities (surface
modification, drilling, shaping, waterjet, etc.)
• Custom sizes, profiles, tooling design, and
prototyping available for specific applications
• Hollow profiles
USES & APPLICATIONS
• Hybrid body in white components
• Structural mounting
• Stress contoured leaf (elliptical, semi-elliptical,
and cantilever) suspension springs
