TeXtreme ® 360° High-Performance Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFC)
TeXtreme 360° belongs to a new class of composite materials called tape-based Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs) which combine in-plane isotropy, high strength and stiffness and enhanced manufacturability. TeXtreme ® 360° is made from randomly distributed ultra-thin TeXtreme ® Spread Tow Tapes, which are partially impregnated with an epoxy matrix. TeXtreme ® 360° can reach high stiffness, strength and fatigue performance which makes it a good alternative to metal alloys or even continuous fiber composites. TeXtreme ® 360° differs from the traditional Sheet Molding Compounds (SMCs) in terms of performance, design flexibility and pro - cessing. In-plane isotropy can be achieved for thin laminates with a cured plate thickness of about 0.5mm. TeXtreme ® 360° has been designed to be used in press forming/press molding processes at intermediate pressure levels (below 20 bars). Preforms of TeXtreme ® 360° are typically shaped prior to consolidation and curing. TeXtreme ® 360° can also be co-cured to other prepreg materials. TeXtreme ® 360° can also be supplied as non-impregnated using TeXtreme ® dry Spread-Tow tapes.
