American composite manufacturer RTP currently pushes out a new carbon fibre composite engineering thermoplastic. The company claims that the plastic can strengthen material property and retain the fibre’s integrity, so it can replace aluminum, zinc, magnesium, etc. gradually.
The plastic is compounded by 20%~40% carbon fibre and various resins such as PEEK, high-performance PPA, PPS and PEI. RTP Corporation names the plastic “Thorough High-Performance Composite”. The plastic is characterized by high impact resistance, like engineering plastic, and low density, anti-corrosion and easy formation, like carbon fibre. The company claims that the composite can stand the test of extreme conditions, so it has a good application prospect in aviation, industry, medical treatment, automobile, etc.
