GPA66 UD tapes (also named CFRT uni-directional tapes) offer exceptional performance in the most demanding environments. Its excellent properties include chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, high melting point, and high crystallization rate.
This kind of unidirectional tape possesses the highest mechanical properties among UD tapes made by various CFRT materials (continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites). Its tensile strength can reach 700 Mpa and its flexural strength is up to 800 Mpa.
Features
60% glass fiber content
Excellent performance of heat resistance and impact resistance

Application
Automotive and sporting goods.
Besides PA66, we have PA 6 CFRT UD tapes for alternatives, which is a little thinner with higher tensile and flexural strength. You can also find other CFRT products in TOPOLO such as PP UD tapes, PPS UD tapes, thermoplastic composite sheets, and honeycomb sandwich panels. TOPOLO is dedicated to the research and design of new composite materials for lightweight solutions of automobiles. Our products of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are ideal choices for your economical and high-quality requirements.
