💡AGC Develops Technology to Enhance the Performance of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (CFRTP)
AGC Asahi Glass (AGC), a world-leading manufacturer of glass, chemicals and high-tech materials, has announced a newly developed technology that enhances the performance of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP).
By using its fluoropolymer to improve existing CFRTP, AGC’ new technology greatly improves the material’s impact resistance, reduces the product defects that occur under high temperature molding, and also improves yields.
The enhanced CFRTP allows for a wide range of applications such as automobiles, aircraft, and sport products that require lighter-weight materials. In addition to CFRTP, this technology can also be applied to improving engineering plastics which superior tolerance against high load and high temperature is required.
