NorPLY™ 1002 is a cured epoxy composite material based on a unique non-woven parallel filament construction. This type of construction minimizes filament stress abrasion that can shorten fatigue life in conventional reinforced plastics. NorPLY™ 1002 uses type E continuous filament fiberglass. It is supplied as cured panels or cut to size shapes. NorPLY™ 1002 is available in unidirectional, crossply, or isotropic fiber orientation, each offering a different balance of properties. Features and benefits include: - High impact strength
- chemical and corrosion resistance
- high strength-to-weight ratio
- excellent fatigue life and high strain capability
- low notch sensitivity
- increased design options (springs to rail joints)
- resistant to solvents and cleaning fluids
- less downtime in harsh environments
- weight reduction
- greater capacity to store energy than 1060 spring steel
Norplex-Micarta acquired the CYPLY® line from Solvay in 2021 and renamed the product NorPLY™. |
