| Based on GMT, the composite GMTex™ has been further developed for applications demanding even greater impact resistance, strength, and durability. These moldable panels are favored as lightweight, high-performance replacements for steel, aluminum, magnesium, and other industrial materials, or alternatively as additional reinforcement for GMT panels. GMTex™ high-performance thermoplastic composites consist of a polypropylene or polyamide resin matrix that is reinforced with both woven and randomly laid fibers. This multi-layer glass fiber weave technology makes the composite material a great candidate for use in structural vehicle components, such as front ends and bumper brackets, among other applications.Information provided by Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials. |
