CONFERENCE SHOWCASE
Conference Showcase PHP Fibers GmbH At Composites Europe 2016 PHP Fibers is going to present for the first time their newly developed Enka1 TecTape hybrid roving. Enka1 TecTape hybrid roving combines twist free aligned continuous glass fibers with thermoplastic multifilaments. Contrary to so called commingled hybrid rovings Enka1 TecTape hybrid roving has a smooth tape-like structure with constant ratio of reinforcement and matrix material. Moreover, it is produced in constant width and thickness. Enka1 TecTape hybrid roving shows the required flexibility and enables the manufacture of complex textile based reinforcements. The short distance between reinforcement fiber and thermoplastic fiber provides short cycling times during the conversion of the hybrid-based textile into a composite. Different to composites based on thermoset resin, composites with thermoplastic
matrix can be post-formed - as it is already known from organo-sheets - and can be further enhanced by tape welding or injection molding. Enka1 TecTape hybrid roving is the raw material for the fully automated production of continuous fiber reinforced composites that combines the advantages of conventional hybrid rovings with those of already consolidated tapes.
PHP Fibers (a subsidiary of Indorama Ventures (IVL) in Thailand) is one of the leading suppliers of high performance yarns in the automobile sector. Our high-quality industrial polyamide and polyester filament yarns, produced at our manufacturing locations in Europe, the USA and China, are used in a variety of areas such as airbags, safety belts, reinforcements in tire design or even in drivebelts and hoses. The portfolio also includes special types for other challenging technical areas of application such as roofing and sealing membranes, textile construction, sail cloth or sewing threads. Our brand names Diolen1 (PET), Enka1 Nylon (PA 6.6), Enkalon1 (PA 6) and Stanylenka1 (PA 4.6) are known around the world and are well-accepted. For more details join PHP Fibers at Stand No. 8a/123 at the Composites Europe exhibition. PHP Fibers GmbH; www.php-fibers.com
