What are hybrid fibres?
All the materials you need, contained in every fibre.
We combine every single reinforcement fiber with the meltable plastic matrix – already on the microscale.
Why hybrid fibres?
Lightweight.
Lightweight and meltable polymer matrix.
Strong.
Strong continuous glass reinforcement fibres.
Saving time.
Shorter cycle times, no curing nor impregnation processes and a lower energy demand.
High quality.
Aerospace grade laminate quality with lowest void content and full fibre wet-out result in high mechanical performance.
Easy switch.
Only minor or no process adaptation needed at all.
Weldable.
No need for adhesives.
Recyclable.
No more landfilling by supporting a circular use of composite materials.
Safe.
No special personal protection needed during processing.
Complex shapes.
Flexible, drapeable textiles enable complex part geometries.
Affordable.
Cost-efficient processing possibilities combined with an affordable feedstock material.
Automotive
Fibre reinforced materials reduce the energy demand of vehicles. We manage to combine short cycle times with high cost-efficiency for automotive part producers.
Hydrogen mobility
Hydrogen offers an alternative to classic combustion drivetrains, but the challenge lies in storing the gas in an efficient and lightweight tank. Our high quality thermoplastic composites offer reduced gas permeability over thermosets.
Wind power
Wind turbine blades can’t be recycled and end up in landfills because of the materials involved. We enable circular material use with our meltable plastics and offer reduced cycle time and a reduction of ancillary materials during blade production.
And many more!
With our microengineered hybrid fibres, high quality parts can be manufactured using only heat and a minimum amount of pressure. This makes them interesting for many other applications. Let us know how we can help solve your challenges!
