TECHNYL® LITE UD tape composites expand DOMO’s offering beyond short fiber solutions, to meet the needs of higher-end applications. The matrix of the TECHNYL® LITE product portfolio is based on DOMO’s unique high flow TECHNYL® STAR technology. As an integrated supplier of PA6 and PA66, DOMO can tailor the matrix material for the UD tape according to the specific end application.
Thanks to their exceptional levels of specific strength and stiffness, these fiber-reinforced composites are the ideal metal replacement material in a variety of applications, including automotive, sports and leisure, and construction.
TECHNYL® LITE C250 V70 with 70% glass fiber, for example, features three times the strength of short fiber composite material. It also has very good specific strength properties compared to mild steel or aluminum. Similarly, TECHNYL® LITE C210 C60, with 60% carbon fiber, provides exceptional specific strength and stiffness compared to standard materials.
These carbon fiber grades excel in demanding applications requiring both lightweight and high strength, such as for bicycle frames or components. And the glass fiber grades offer an excellent cost-performance ratio, making them a perfect choice for automotive parts. The levels of thickness can be adjusted according to requirements, with thin UD tapes used for highly adjustable load paths, and thicker layers for enhancing productivity during post-processing.
Furthermore, this polyamide-based composite material is 100% recyclable.
