A material with low water absorption and minimal changes in physical properties even after water absorption! It is suitable for CFRP matrix resin.
"LEXTER" is a carbon-neutral material made from sebacic acid derived from the plant called "tougoma." Compared to other nylons, it has a high modulus of elasticity and, as a polyamide, has an extremely low water absorption rate, making it resistant to a decrease in elasticity even when absorbing water. Utilizing its moldability and wide processing window, we offer a variety of prepreg materials. It can be applied to various uses such as automotive and motorcycle parts, aircraft components, construction materials, and sporting goods. [Features] ■ High strength and high elasticity ■ Polyamide that does not degrade in water or the environment ■ Higher modulus of elasticity compared to other nylons ■ A variety of prepreg materials available (UD tape, mixed fiber yarn, GF woven fabric, non-woven fabric, stampable sheets) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
