The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) have developed highly oriented tapes made from recycled carbon fibers (rCF) suitable for reuse in high-performance applications such as structural components in the automotive sector.
This new finish offers a lighter base colour compared to the natural black variant, making it colourable with masterbatch during the injection moulding and 3D Printing processes by pellets
The cooperation agreement between the two companies allows Bodo Möller Chemie to extend its product portfolio to include extremely strong, stiff, and lightweight carbon fibre products.
The development lines represent a step-change in UK carbon fibre capability, equipping industry with a new manufacturing testbed to develop more sustainable carbon fibres
