Plastic films play a vital role in enhancing the production and performance of thermoplastic fibre-reinforced composites. These films offer critical properties that improve manufacturing efficiency, structural integrity, and end-use applications. At QBT Co., LTD., we design high-performance films to meet the stringent requirements of composite production, ensuring quality and reliability.
How Our Films Are Used in Thermoplastic Fibre-Reinforced Composites
Prepreg Production
Surface Layer for Resin Impregnation: Films provide excellent wettability, ensuring uniform resin distribution during the impregnation of thermoplastic fibres such as carbon or glass fibres.
Release Films: Act as a non-stick barrier to facilitate smooth removal of prepregs during curing and molding processes.
Laminated Structures
Interlayer Bonding: Films improve adhesion and structural integrity in multilayered composites by serving as bonding layers between fibre layers.
Protective Surface Layers: Transparent or decorative films enhance aesthetics and provide protection from wear and environmental factors.
Functional Coatings
Heat and Pressure Resistance: Our films can withstand high temperatures and pressures during composite molding, maintaining performance without deformation.
Chemical Resistance: Films protect composites from corrosive chemicals, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding environments.
Lightweighting and Durability
Weight Reduction: Lightweight films contribute to the composite’s overall low weight without compromising strength.
Impact Resistance: Films improve the toughness of composites, allowing them to endure shocks and mechanical stress.
Customization for Specialized Applications
Printable and Dyeable Films: Enable the integration of custom colors, patterns, and branding directly onto the composite surface.
Tailored Thickness: Films can be customized to specific thicknesses to meet the mechanical and aesthetic requirements of different applications.
Applications of Films in Composite Industries
Aerospace: Lightweight and durable composites for aircraft panels and components.
Automotive: Fibre-reinforced parts for structural components, interior panels, and decorative trims.
Sports and Recreation: High-performance composites for bicycles, helmets, and other sports equipment.
Industrial Applications: Durable composites for machinery, tooling, and construction.
