Secondary processing possible! Thermoplastic carbon fiber extrusion molding (for wire and rod applications)
Able to solve problems with CFRP products! Thermoplastic wires and rods that can handle bending and welding, which are difficult to process after molding.
The thermoplastic carbon fiber "Krapower Sheet" is an intermediate substrate (semi-prepreg sheet) just before the carbon fiber is impregnated with resin, allowing for pull-forming while being heated and melted due to its excellent flexibility. Additionally, compared to conventional prepregs, semi-prepregs have superior formability, enabling molding with non-standard cross-sections by leveraging this characteristic. By using thermoplastic resin, secondary processing such as welding and bending can be added after molding, allowing for manufacturing that was not possible with traditional CFRP products. 【Features】 ■ Continuous production is possible through pull-forming. ■ Pull-forming with non-standard cross-sections is possible by utilizing the formability of semi-prepregs. ■ Secondary processing such as welding and bending is possible after molding by using thermoplastic resin. ■ Resin can be combined with super engineering plastics like PPS. ■ Comparable strength to other companies' thermoplastic prepregs can be achieved. ■ Kink (end) treatment through bending processing (for wire applications). 【Examples of Applications】 ■ Aircraft, sports, and general industrial applications. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.
