ThermoPlastics

Thermoplastics are polymers that can be softened or melted when heated to a specific temperature. When combined with rapid production processes, Tenax™ ThermoPlastics allow for fast processing, low scrap rates as well as high mechanical performance, chemical resistance and recyclability. Teijin currently offers three types of Tenax™ ThermoPlastics: ThermoPlastic UniDirectional (TPUD), ThermoPlastic Consolidated Laminate (TPCL) and ThermoPlastic Woven Fabric (TPWF). 

UniDirectional Tape

Consolidated Laminate

Woven Fabric

Tenax™ ThermoPlastic UniDirectional (TPUD) 

This thermoplastic unidirectional prepreg combines carbon fiber with a tailored sizing for thermoplastic applications and a high-performance polymer or engineering polymer. It is available in standard widths (304.8 mm and 609.6 mm) and with slitting on demand (down to 3.175 mm).

Tenax™ ThermoPlastic Consolidated Laminate (TPCL)

These are consolidated laminate sheets made of several layers of carbon woven fabric coated with a thermoplastic polymer. They are based on Tenax™ Carbon Fiber and high-temperature polymer matrix systems to provide superior mechanical, chemical and thermal properties. 

Tenax™ ThermoPlastic Woven Fabric (TPWF)

This is a woven fabric coated with a thermoplastic polymer. It is based on Tenax™ Carbon Fiber and a high-temperature polymer matrix system to provide superior mechanical, chemical and thermal properties.
