- G-TEX TM is our range of comingled recycled carbon fiber/ thermoplastic nonwoven mats. These mats provide an excellent balance of mechanical properties, formability and good-quality surface finish.
- G-TEX TM nonwoven mats are made with PP, PA, PEI and PPS fibers. The dry mats can be direct formed into parts by compression molding or used as pre-consolidated sheets.
- G-TEX TM nonwoven mats are used today in automotive and aerospace applications.
- Features
- Fiber areal weights from 100-500 gsm available as standards.
- Standard widths from 1.0 – 2.5m.
- Excellent formability
- Consistent blend of thermoplastic and carbon fibers.
- Excellent surface finish
