HOW ARE THERMOPLASTIC PREPREGS CONSOLIDATED?
Blackfabric’s thermoplastic prepregs can be consolidated by using heat and pressure. The prepreg material is heated to its melting point and then subjected to pressure to fuse the layers together. This process results in a strong, cohesive composite material ideal for various applications.
- COMPRESSION MOLDING
- BLADDER INFLATION MOLDING
- VACCUM-FORMING
- AUTOCLAVE CONSOLIDATION
