“Injection moldable materials with this kind of performance are groundbreaking in their ability to open up new opportunities for using thermoplastics,” said Matt Torosian, High Temperature Product Manager at RTP Company.
”We achieved this elevated performance by drawing upon RTP Company’s knowledge and expertise in compounding high temperature polymers and fiber reinforcements to engineer a platform of products that raise the capabilities of thermoplastic compounds to new levels.”
Manufactured using advanced compounding techniques that maximize fiber integrity; Ultra Performance Structural Compounds from RTP Company achieve strength and stiffness properties that are higher than previously available products.
Combining the higher mechanical properties and lower densities of carbon fiber with the excellent thermal and chemical resistance provided by using high temperature resin systems allows these injection moldable thermoplastic materials to close the performance gap between plastics and metals.
Products are available in high temperature resin systems with carbon fiber reinforcement loadings from 20-40% to provide performance options that meet a broad range of requirements for demanding applications in energy, industrial, aerospace, automotive, and medical markets that previously required aluminum, zinc, and magnesium metals.
