Clapower sheet sandwich panel facing material *Significant weight reduction is possible!
Ideal for applications such as emergency stop boards for infrastructure facilities! An ultra-lightweight sandwich panel reinforced with carbon fiber sheets and surface materials like expanded polystyrene.
The "Kura Power Sheet" is a semi-preg sheet, an intermediate substrate just before carbon fiber is impregnated with resin. The "Kura Power Sheet" allows for direct molding, where lamination and heating/melting are performed simultaneously, eliminating the need for the pre-treatment of stacking multiple sheets and heating/pressurizing (consolidation) required for conventional thermoplastic prepregs, which is expected to reduce costs. Carbon fiber sheets are thinner and lighter compared to metals, allowing for significant weight reduction and strength enhancement when combined with inexpensive surface materials like expanded polystyrene. Applications as emergency water stop boards, as well as in vehicles, ceiling materials, shelves, hanging doors, and solar panels are anticipated. 【Features】 - Reinforcing surface materials like expanded polystyrene with Kura Power Sheet enables significant weight reduction. - Extremely lightweight and durable. - The resin and composition of KPS can be selected according to the required properties and characteristics. Combinations with super engineering plastics like PPS are also possible depending on the application. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.*
