ZOLTEK™ PX35 PREPREG TAPES

1 of 57 products in this brand
ZOLTEK produces uni-directional (UD) prepreg tapes based on ZOLTEK carbon fiber. ZOLTEK prepreg is ideal for large-volume composite applications where high production throughput, excellent composite properties, and low material cost are important. A wide selection of epoxy resin formulations meet most processing and composite property requirements for tack, toughness, surface finish, cure time, cure temperature, and delivered composite strength and modulus. Custom formulations are also available. ZOLTEK prepreg properties, such as fiber areal weight (FAW), resin content, and width, are readily adjusted to exactly meet customer requirements. Packaging options include core size, customer specified knitting requirements, and custom labeling. ZOLTEK prepreg production is geared to large volumes and low cost. Special projects are welcomed.

Applications & Uses

Applications

ZOLTEK PX35 carbon fiber has market-leading properties at a market-leading price. ZOLTEK products are increasing the energy output of wind turbines, creating more fuel efficient vehicles, and lifting other industries to new levels of performance.

Automotive - Our cost-effective solutions and our ability to provide long-term price and supply commitments has many automotive manufacturers turning to ZOLTEK as a resource for increasing the efficiency and value-structure of their processes.

Wind Energy - ZOLTEK PX35 carbon fiber is the industry standard for carbon fiber wind energy reinforcement

Friction Resistance - Our carbon braking materials are manufactured to withstand extreme braking conditions that demand resistance to harsh temperature and chemical environments.

Civil Engineering - ZOLTEK PX35 fabrics are often utilized in the repair or upgrade of concrete structures including bridges, columns, and beams.

Marine - Tough, durable carbon composite materials stand up to the extremes of marine environments.

Energy Storage - Carbon fiber based energy storage solutions balance power and energy output with grid demand and allow for energy generation and transmission optimization.

Sporting Goods - The high-strength, high modulus and light-weight properties of carbon fiber have taken sporting goods to the next level of performance.

3D Printing - Our carbon fiber enables the production of cost-efficient filament for the manufacture of structural production parts and prototypes.

Oil & Gas - ZOLTEK’s deepwater products provide less weight and more stiffness and strength to deepwater oil exploration – enabling deepwater systems to operate at depths unreachable with traditional materials.

Pressure Vessels - The benefits of carbon fiber as a light-weight alternative to other materials combined with its durability and corrosion resistance properties have been driving innovation for decades.
