CFRT Sheet Structure

Structure of CFRT Sheet

CFRT (Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic) Sheet, is a new FRP composite material made of continuous fiber as reinforcing material and thermoplastic resin as matrix through thermal lamination process.

PP/PVC/PET and other protective films can be selected,

thermoplastic

Thermoplastic UD Tape

Layers of UD tape: 2~9 layers, the number of layers can be customized.
Fibers: Continuous fiberglass.
Resin Types: Polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), nylon (PA), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), etc.
Additives: Antioxidant, UV stabilizer, Flame retardant agent, Custom color.

Features

The density of CFRT is only 1/4~1/5 of steel and 1/3~1/2 of aluminum.

High Strength

Compared with metal materials and thermosetting composite materials, it can absorb a larger amount of energy when it is impacted, and reduce the damage caused by impact.

Scratch Resistant

General impacts and scratches will not leave marks on its surface.

Corrosion Resistance

The protective film on the surface of CFRT can completely isolate moisture and general chemicals, which makes its surface easy to clean.

High Rigidity

The continuous fiberglass structure gives CFRT excellent toughness, and large bending deformation will not cause damage to its structure.

CFRT Sandwich Panels

CFRT sheets can be composited with PP honeycomb, foam (XPS/PET/PU/PVC), etc., and are used in ships, RVs, vans, rail transit, construction, furniture, etc. One feature of CFRT is that it can not only be composited with other core materials through adhesives, but can also be laminated with thermoplastic core materials through heat melting.

Laying Angles of UD Tape

  • : This layup consists of fibers aligned parallel to the loading direction. It has high stiffness and strength in the load direction.
  • 0°/90°: This type of layup consists of two layers, one with fibers aligned in the 0° direction and the other with fibers aligned in the 90° direction. It provides good shear properties and is commonly used in applications where support of in-plane and out-of-plane loads is required.
  • +45°/−45°: This type of layup consists of two layers, one with fibers aligned at an angle of ±45°. It provides balanced in-plane properties.

High Specifications

The maximum thickness of thermoplastic sheets can reach 5mm, the maximum width can reach 2.8m, the length of each roll can reach 250m, and up to 10 layers of UD tapes can be thermally compounded. The thickness of thermoplastic honeycomb panels ranges from 6mm to 120mm.

High Efficiency

The production speed of thermoplastic composite panels reaches 3~8m/min, and 10,000m² CFRT sheets or thermoplastic composite panels can be produced every day. The annual production capacity can meet the production demand of 80,000 box trucks.

Safe and Reliable

The heating and cooling of thermoplastic sheets are in a closed space, which keeps production in a stable temperature environment and also protects the safety of operator
