Hybrid Yarn Advantages

  • Dry & Core pre-impregnation
  • Compatibility with organic matrix
  • Superior mechanical performances
  • Electrical insulation
  • Low thermal conductivity
  • 3X higher specific resistance than steel

Main Properties

  • Excellent compatibility between the glass and the thermoplastic filaments thanks to specific sizing.
  • Good warping and weaving properties in both warp (machine) and fill (crosswise) direction. 
  • Very good surface coverage due to texturized strand shape.
  • Core integration of the thermoplastic matrix within the glass reinforcement thread.

Value Proposition

  • Enable production of lightweight & thin prepreg fabrics & laminates.
  • Superior dry prepreg drapability for complex structure geometry.
  • Quick & easy wet out of the thermoplastic resin during heating step.
  • Reduced thermal cycle process steps & time for laminate production.
  • Improved fibre/matrix adhesion leading to higher laminate performance.
