TECATEC SAN NAF45 T300 CP/IP/OS V01 natural
CONTINUOUS FLAX FIBRES IN TRANSPARENT SAN MATRIX
Flax fibres are natural fibres that have high stiffness and tensile strength at low weight and require only a fraction of the resources needed to produce glass or carbon fibres. Embedded in a matrix of glossy-transparent styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN), the result is an aesthetic natural fibre composite with a density of only 1.24 g/cm3.
The flax fibre reinforced composite has good stiffness and strength and is mainly used in the field of automotive interiors.
The transparent surface and high UV resistance is also appreciated in outdoor applications and sports equipment.
At Ensinger, the composite material reinforced with continuous flax fibres is produced as coated semipreg (CP) or fully impregnated prepreg (IP) in widths of up to 1000 mm. These can then be consolidated customer-specifically into multilayer organosheets (OS), which show their natural surface after thermoforming or overmoulding.
