Colorants & Additives for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Wire & Cable Applications

Traditionally, carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more.

Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites

comprehensive approach to design, service and innovation in thermoplastics and composites will enable us to forge even further ahead with our LFT technology, and I'm excited that our teams have joined together in collaboration for the future."

History PET is the most common thermoplastic polymer in the polyester family.

The addition of fabric to a thermoplastic part can help to increase its appeal, partly because the fabric softens the look and feel of the surface.

Beyond improved surface appearance, protection from friction, and reduced wear, these polymers also offer the design freedom and part consolidation potential of thermoplastics.

Key factors contributing to the fine cell structure are the particle size of the blowing agent, the dispersing capability of the molding machine, the decomposition rate of the foaming agent, the melt viscosity and the molecular structure of the thermoplastic resin itself. ADDITION LEVELS OF FOAMING AGENTS Both the foaming agent and the thermoplastic resins are metered into the injection molding machine. Compared to conventional thermoplastic foam injection molding (TFIM) without mold expansion, CBE creates a lower-density foam with an increased stiffness-to-weight ratio.
