Evopreg® PA is a range of thermoplastic tape manufactured from polyamide-6 (PA6) polymer with unidirectional carbon fiber and is suitable for automated tape laying, winding and compression molding into highperformance, lightweight components. Thermoplastic tapes can provide outstanding mechanical performance, clean manufacturing processes, low waste and the potential for easier recyclability at end-of-life. Much like traditional thermosets, there are also multiple processing routesavailable; however, processed parts can be subsequently post-formed to create more complex shapes. Additionally, thermoplastic tapes can be stored almost indefinitely, compared to the limited shelf-life of pre-impregnated thermoset tapes.
