GPA66 UD Tapes, CFRT Material for Lightweight Solutions

GPA66 UD tapes (also named CFRT uni-directional tapes) offer exceptional performance in the most demanding environments. Its excellent properties include chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, high melting point, and high crystallization rate.

This kind of unidirectional tape possesses the highest mechanical properties among UD tapes made by various CFRT materials (continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites). Its tensile strength can reach 700 MPa and its flexural strength is up to 800 MPa.

GPA66 UD Tape Features

60% of glass fiber
Excellent performance of heat resistance and impact resistance

Unidirectional Tape Application

Automotive and sporting goods.
