TENAX ThermoSet Prepreg

Tenax™ ThermoPlastic UniDirectional (TPUD) is a prepreg that combines carbon fiber with a tailored sizing for thermoplastic applications and a high-temperature polymer, such as for PEEK, PPS, LM PAEK. It is available in standard widths (304.8 mm and 609.6 mm) and with slitting on demand (down to 3.175 mm). Tenax™ TPUD is offered in different fiber grades, such as HTS and IMS.

• High-performance mechanical properties
• Low flammability, smoke and toxicity
• Excellent resistance to chemicals and solvents
• Room temperature storage and shipping
• Compliant with health, safety and environment requirements
• Recyclable
• Out of autoclave consolidation (press forming, vacuum bagging)
• Short cycle time
• Thermoformable
• Automated processes (automated tape laying, winding for tubular parts and pressure vessels)
• Thermoplastic joining technologies

Tenax™ Short Fibers are carbon fibers with excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Carbon fibers provide extremely high strength and stiffness with low weight, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and higher heat distortion.

Tenax™ Short Fibers are a high-tech product, significantly enhancing properties in thermoset and thermoplastic applications. Tenax™ Short Carbon Fibers are an ideal solution, thanks to their easy-to-handle bundle sizes and modifications that allow for use in high-temperature thermoplastics. Tenax™ Short Fibers come as Tenax™ Chopped Fibers (C-Series and P-Series) or Tenax™ Milled Fibers. They are available in a variety of sizes, for thermosets and thermoplastic resins or for water-based processes.

Tenax™ Dry Reinforcement Non-Crimp Fabric (DRNF) consists of multiple carbon layers of different orientations knitted together. Multiaxial fabrics combine excellent yarn alignment with a low level of undulation, allowing the customer to manufacture parts with enhanced mechanical properties and a smooth and even material surface.

• Excellent strength, stiffness and fatigue life
• Enable high lay-down rates
• Complex lay-ups possible with optimized weight distribution across plies
• Optimized drapeability and infusion behavior tailored to customer requests
• Low level of material bulk for preforming
• Improved preforming and toughness behavior possible
• High fiber volume content (>55%) even with toughened and powder-bindered material in infusion technology (e.g., via pure vacuum process)
• Room-temperature storage and transport

Tenax™ filament yarn is a high-performance carbon fibre product that significantly improves and reinforces the properties of thermoset and thermoplastic composites. With a high tensile strength and high tensile modulus, Tenax™ filament yarn is ideal for many processes, such as prepregging, filament winding, pultrusion, weaving and braiding.

Ultra-light and high-strength, Teijin's carbon fiber products are used in fiber composites in aerospace, marine and many industrial applications.
