Made of Polypropylene Homopolymer and E-glass fiber. It is fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. This new material system combines continuous E-Glass structural reinforcing fibers in either a polyethylene polypropylene or PET proprietary.
It has many performance benefits of ThermoPro include:
- Significantly Improved Impact resistance in comparison to Thermosets
- Improved Corrosion and Water Resistance (in many cases much better than isopolyesters and vinylesters)
- Design Flexibility (fiber selection and fiber orientation to meet virtually any application requirement)
- Easily Fabricated (dry, easy-to-cut, no VOCs, indefinite shelf life)
- High Dielectric Strength (non-conductive)
- Lighter Weight (automotive, aircraft and other weight sensitive applications)
- Continuous 12.5" or 25 " (318mm/636 mm) wide tape form
- Available in rolls up to 1000 lbs
- X-Ply® 0o/90o Laminates up to 1000 lbs rolls
- 100% Recyclable (no material waste)
- Low Tooling Cost (low molding pressures)
- Reduced Molding Cycles (higher productivity and lower cost)
- Re-Formable (panels can be reconfigured multiple times)
- No hazardous chemicals, VOC's or solvents
- "Green" Product Technology (important in sustainable engineering science)
- Life-Cycle Cost Savings (increasingly important in industrial & civil engineering)
