    Compression molding

    • Compression molding is already used with TPFL® pellets
    • Development and characterization of “TPFL® flakes” is ongoing
    • Goal is to make HP composites with injection

    Bladder inflation molding

    Use of TPFL® braids :

    • Easy lay-up
    • No joints, no overlap
    • Possibility of evolutive sections, curved parts

    Real applications : Sporting goods with Carbon/PA12 TPFL® braids. Typical cure cycle: >5‘, 10 bars, T° = Tf +30°C


    Diaphragm forming

    Key feature of TPFL® materials :

    • Fibers are slipping during the process
    • Yarns are elongating (Up to 20%)
    • Absence of wrinkles in the edges

    Cold stamping

    Techniques that is widely used for consolidated thermoplastics, allowing fast processing

    When using TPFL® materials that are not consolidated, consolidation requires:

    • Pre-heating of the material to processing temperature, typically Tf + 30°C
    • Time to allow the polymer to flow and wet-out the fiber
    • Cooling down the material until the T°< Tg
