Composites Evolution highlighted its Evopreg prepreg series, as well as UD carbon fiber reinforced PA6 tapes for ATL, filament winding and compression molding.

Composites Evolution (Chesterfield, UK) is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of prepregs for the production of lightweight structures. It focused on its prepreg product range and introduced a new type of thermoplastic tape manufacturing. ability.

Composites Evolution has a series of professional prepregs suitable for various applications, including Evopreg EPC epoxy component prepregs, which are a series of prepreg fabrics suitable for molding into high-performance, lightweight structural parts; Evopreg EPT Epoxy resin mold prepreg is designed to help composite mold manufacturers improve the flexibility and efficiency of their mold manufacturing process; and Evopreg PFC flame retardant prepreg is a 100% bio-derived phenolic resin substitute, suitable for fire protection Applications with critical performance requirements, such as battery boxes.

The company also highlighted its Evopreg ampliTex, which combines high-performance Evopreg epoxy resin systems with Bcomp (Fribourg, Switzerland)'s ampliTex flax reinforcements for outstanding performance. Composites Evolution used this material to develop the rear wing of the Ginetta G56 GTA GT4 race car.

In addition, the company's Evopreg PA thermoplastic tape series was initially launched at Advanced Engineering and is made of polyamide 6 (PA6) polymer and unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber. They are suitable for automatic tape laying (ATL), filament winding and compression molding processes.

Through careful (and mainly proprietary) temperature and tension manipulation, observe the process of the precursor becoming carbon fiber.

Composites Technology Development's first Class V commercial storage tank heralds the growth of filament winding in compressed gas storage.

For composite applications, these hollow microstructures replace a lot of volume with low weight, and add a lot of processing and product enhancements.
