FUKUI FIBERTECH CO., LTD.

Molding Materials for large structures for cost saving

Technical Classification:
[ Molding ]
Products:
[ Products / Processed Products ]
Keyword:
[ Draw molding ] [ fiber hybrid composites ] [ NCF ] [ Non-crimp fabric ] [ pultrusion ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

Optimum alignment of expensive carbon fibers for cost saving
Application of non-crimp fabric (NCF) not commonly used in the conventionally draw molding composites for stronger adhesion

Effect(s)

Weight reduction, longer service life, shorter construction period

Conventional Technology

・Fiberglass robing with strong anisotropy are used as a major component.
・Special care has to be taken for adhesion because of their high anisotropy.

New Technology

・ Carbon fibers are effectively aligned in accordance with structural needs.
・ In view of better adhesion carbon fibers are aligned in the 90 and plus and minus 45 degrees directions.
・ Adhesion to nonferrous metals is allowed.
