The thermoplastic composite combining a sandwich panel of pp honeycomb and gmt composite skin.
Thermoplastic composite flooring.
Thermoplastic honeycomb technology reduces the hyundai creta s trunk floor weight by 20 the technology developed and patented by econcore is unique in design.
The floor s beam and panel materials were vacuum consolidated in an oven and then sheet formed via a stamping press at the airbus plant in saint nazaire france.
Sandwiform is a recyclable thermoplastic composite that consists of a honeycombed cellular core placed between two reinforced thermoplastic skins.
In place of a thermoset composite airbus used cytec s apc 2 thermoplastic unitape a prepreg that combines as4 carbon fiber from hexcel and cytec s peek.
In addition to wood fiber and plastic wpcs can also contain other ligno cellulosic and or inorganic filler materials.
With goals to absorb higher impact energy while reducing mass and cost for both the rear and front load floors as well the larger biw structure of which they were a part the decision was made to produce the rear load floor using thermoplastic composites with metallic inserts.
The thermoplastic composite combining a sandwich panel of polypropylene pp honeycomb and glass mat thermoplastic gmt composite skin.
Wpcs are a subset of a larger category of materials called natural fiber plastic composites which may contain no cellulose based fiber fillers such as pulp fibers peanut hulls coffe husk bamboo straw digestate etc.
The technology developed and patented by econcore is unique in design.
A thermocompression production process transforms a stack of plies into a thermoplastic sandwich structure with very high stiffness to weight ratio impact strength and corrosion resistance.
