Results for tag: "Tow Prepreg"

Tow Prepreg is a type of composite material made from reinforcing fibers, such as carbon, glass, or aramid, that are pre-impregnated with a resin matrix. This type of composite is used in a variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods. Tow Prepreg offers a number of advantages over traditional composites, such as improved strength-to-weight ratio, improved fatigue resistance, and improved impact resistance. Additionally, Tow Prepreg is easier to process than traditional composites, as it requires less time and labor to produce. Tow Prepreg is produced by impregnating reinforcing fibers with a resin matrix, such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester. The resin matrix is then cured, either thermally or with ultraviolet light, to form a composite material. The resulting material is then cut into strips, known as tows, which are then used to create composite parts. Some companies in the Tow Prepreg market include Hexcel Corporation, Toray Industries, Cytec Solvay Group, Gurit, and Teijin Limited. Show Less Read more
