In response to the demands for lightweight construction, efficient use of resources and shorter cycle times, Cristex has introduced its Co-Fibre product to provide customers with an opportunity to reinforce their parts in an economic and efficient way.
Co-Fibre is a hybrid glass-fibre and polypropylene (PP) fabric that is designed for high mechanical properties, such as exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and impact properties.
Other advantages include: fast cycle times, significant weight reduction – available in 700g/m², making it easier to handle and cheaper to transport, direct processing without additional resin, environmentally friendly with no solvent emissions, resistant towards environmental influences - it does not expand or contract in extreme weather conditions and chemical resistance, i.e. no corrosion.
“I am delighted to launch this product and offer it to our customers,” stated Cristex director, Bruce Craig. “This will allow a continuity of supply in the UK for commingled glass and thermoplastic fabrics.”
