New Strong, Lightweight Composite Sheet, Produced by Hot Compacting Polypropylene Fabric
Goodfellow announces the availability of a new thermoplastic self-reinforcing composite that is produced by hot compacting polypropylene fabric. This process results in a balance of properties that combine light weight and recyclability with good mechanical performance and excellent impact strength. Being a thermoplastic composite, these sheets can readily be converted into parts or components by thermoforming, punching and machining.
Applications for the new polypropylene-polypropylene composite include exterior structural automotive components, industrial cladding, audio products, personal protective equipment, sports goods, and packaging facing skins on foam sandwiches and honeycomb sandwiches.
For more than 35 years, Goodfellow has been a supplier of metals, polymers, ceramics and other materials to meet the research, development, and specialized production requirements of science and industry worldwide. Goodfellow specializes in supplying small quantities (a few grams to a few kilos) of metals and materials for research or prototype development. The company also offers custom fabrication and finishing services.
