Continuous fiber can be combined with virtually all thermoset and thermoplastic resin systems. They are used for weaving, braiding, filament winding applications, unidirectional tapes and prepreg tow for fiber placement. Chopped fibers are used in compression and injection molding compounds to produce machine parts, gears, and chemical valves. The finished products have excellent corrosion, creep and fatigue resistance plus high strength and stiffness characteristics. |
