Applications in Thermoplastic Fibre-Reinforced Composites
Plastic films play a crucial role in the production and performance enhancement of thermoplastic fibre-reinforced composites, offering critical properties for manufacturing and end-use applications. At QBT Co., LTD., our films are designed to meet the stringent requirements of composite production, ensuring high performance, efficiency, and quality.
How Our Films Are Used in Thermoplastic Fibre-Reinforced Composites
1. Prepreg Production
- Surface Layer for Resin Impregnation: Films provide excellent wettability, ensuring uniform distribution of resin during the impregnation of thermoplastic fibres, such as carbon or glass fibres.
- Release Films: Used as a non-stick barrier to facilitate the smooth removal of prepregs during curing and molding processes.
2. Laminated Structures
- Interlayer Bonding: Films are used as bonding layers between fibre layers, improving adhesion and structural integrity in multilayered composites.
- Protective Surface Layers: Transparent or decorative films can be applied as a top layer for aesthetics and protection from wear and environmental factors.
3. Functional Coatings
- Heat and Pressure Resistance: Films withstand high temperatures and pressures during composite molding, maintaining performance without deformation.
- Chemical Resistance: Films protect the composite from exposure to corrosive chemicals, ensuring longevity and reliability.
4. Lightweighting and Durability
- Weight Reduction: Lightweight films contribute to the composite’s overall low weight without compromising strength.
- Impact Resistance: Films enhance the toughness of the composite, allowing it to withstand shocks and mechanical stress.
5. 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 precise thicknesses to meet the mechanical and aesthetic needs of specific applications.
