Why hybrid fibres
Strong
Strong continuous glass reinforcement fibres
Fast
Converts into finished parts with minimal heat and pressure, cutting cycle times and energy use
High quality
Aerospace grade laminate quality with lowest void content and full fibre wet-out, resulting in high mechanical performance
Easy switch
Only minor or no process adaptation needed
Weldable
No need for adhesives results in reduced assembly time, and recyclability at end of life
Recyclable
Supports a circular use of composite materials, no more landfilling
Safe
No special personal protection needed during processing
Drapeable
Flexible textiles enable complex part geometries
Affordable
Cost-efficient processing combined with an affordable feedstock material
Market segments
Mobility — Energy — Industry
Automotive
Mobility
Electric vehicle battery carriers/enclosures, front-end module (FEM) carriers, underbody shields, seat structures, crash boxes, bumper beams, door modules, load floors, and structural brackets.
Transportation
Mobility
Interior structural panels, semi-structural exterior cladding and cabin components, sanwich panel skins, and hydrogen tanks.
Wind power
Energy
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.
HV insulators
Energy
Antefil’s material is pre-destined for pultruded E-glass composite rods, which have to combine high mechanical load-bearing strength with electrical insulation and outstanding resistance to corrosion.
Construction
Industry
All applications where steel is being displaced by composites — most notably reinforcement bars (rebar) for bridges, tunnels, and car parks, where corrosion resistance and higher tensile strength allow slimmer, lighter concrete structures. Unlike thermoset FRP, our thermoplastic matrix can be reheated and bent on-site, making it practical for stirrups and hooked connectors. This also supports circular use of production scrap, reinforcing our sustainability positioning with a concrete, construction-specific proof point.
Model making
Industry
Antefil replaces unhealthy and labor-intensive wet hand lamination in mould and tool making with dry, pre-coated thermoplastic fibre that’s draped and heat-consolidated instead of chemically cured. This eliminates styrene/VOC removing the need for extraction systems and easing compliance. It also delivers more consistent fibre and void content than hand-wetted lay-up, and damaged tooling can be reheated and repaired rather than scrapped.
