PEEK Resin Carbon Fiber Thermoplastic UD Tapes

Product Features

  • High temperature resistance.
  • Chemical corrosion resistance.
  • High strength and high modulus.
  • Reproducible processing.
  • Fatigue resistance.
  • Recyclable.


As a typical representative of high-performance thermoplastic resins, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can complement the advantages of the two materials and form a composite material system with excellent performance after being combined with continuous carbon fiber with its excellent high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, high strength and biocompatibility. In this composite system, carbon fiber gives the material high strength and high modulus characteristics, while PEEK resin ensures that the material provides good processing performance. Based on this, PEEK resin carbon fiber thermoplastic unidirectional tape shows significant advantages such as light weight, high strength, easy plasticity, and strong recyclability. At present, this material has become one of the core directions for universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises to carry out new material technology research and development. Research around its performance optimization, process innovation and application expansion is constantly promoting industry technological innovation and industrial upgrading.

Manufacturing Process

The continuous carbon fiber bundle is released through the yarn unwinding device, spread evenly through the yarn spreading device, and then enters the impregnation system to be impregnated with the molten PEEK resin under high temperature and high pressure. Finally, it is shaped through the hot pressing and cooling device to form a PEEK resin carbon fiber thermoplastic unidirectional tape.
