Tepex - Thermoplastic Composites |
| | | Our thermoplastic high-performance composite Tepex® has established itself as a lightweight construction material for a wide variety of applications in large-scale series productions. Its consistent quality and the thermoplastic matrix make it ideal for fully automated and reproducible manufacturing and processing operations. Tepex® is used in automotive engineering, the sports industry, consumer electronics and various other sectors. |
Tepex® is a group of composite semi-finished products that are fully impregnated, consolidated and plate-shaped. They are made of high-tensile continuous fibers (or long fibers in the case of Tepex® flowcore) and a thermoplastic matrix. These composite sheets can be processed into complex components in short cycle times through heating and subsequent forming.
Polymers offered:
- PA66
- PA6
