Thermoplastic GPPS unidirectional tape is impregnated with PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) and laminated together to form a thermoplastic composite fiber reinforcement layer. Its tensile strength and bending strength are higher than PP resin thermoplastic unidirectional tape. It is a stable and lightweight material.
PPS UD Tape Features
- Wear-resistant and heat-stable PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) resin matrix.
- 0°/90° cross laying can be adopted to obtain stronger mechanical strength.
Traditional Prepregs VS Thermoplastic Prepregs
GPPS UD Tape Advantages
- Easy to use for continuous engineering and processing;
- Higher-strength and higher modulus (than long fiber and short fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites);
- Excellent compact resistance;
- Chemical resistance and no VOC;
- Environmentally friendly, repairable, and recyclable.
Our Craftsmanship
- Carbon fiber thermoplastic unidirectional tape and glass fiber thermoplastic unidirectional tape.
- The width can be customized from 500mm to 1200mm.
- The GPPS UD tapes can be added with optional materials like graphite, to meet the demand for UV resistance and aging resistance.
