Evopreg® PA is a range of thermoplastic tape manufactured from polyamide-6 (PA6) polymer with unidirectional carbon fibre and is suitable for automated tape laying, winding and compression moulding into high-performance, lightweight components.
Thermoplastic tapes can provide outstanding mechanical performance, clean manufacturing processes, low waste and the potential for easier recyclability at end-of-life.
Much like traditional thermosets, there are also multiple processing routes available; however, processed parts can be subsequently post-formed to create more complex shapes.
Additionally, thermoplastic tapes can be stored almost indefinitely, compared to the limited shelf-life of pre-impregnated thermoset tapes.
