QuantaFlex® PEP UHMWPE Fabric
Product Description
QuantaFlex® is a series of UHMWPE-based hybrid fabrics including UHMWPE/glass fabric, UHMWPE/PET fabric, and pure UHMWPE fabric, warp-knitted multiaxial structure or plain-woven structure. QuantaFlex® is mainly designed as composite reinforcement solution. As UHMWPE fiber has excellent properties of high strength, lightweight, high modulus and flexible, it has density of 0.97g/m³, the lightest among reinforcement fibers, its tensile strength value 45cN/dtex weighs 2/3 of aramid fiber and only half of carbon fiber. Therefore, fabric made with UHMWPE is not only light but also has excellent tensile strength and tear strength. UHMWPE fiber is flexible and absorbs energy during plastic deformation. Its ability to absorb 1.8 times of carbon fiber, 2.6 times of aramid fiber and 33 times of E-glass fiber. Compared with UD structure, fabric with plain-woven structure can be better combined with resin, therefore is more suitable for composite reinforcement. The fabrics treated with our patented technology achieve a surface energy exceeding 72 mN/m, enabling compatibility and robust bonding with diverse resin systems such as unsaturated polyester (UP), epoxy (EP), vinyl ester (VE). And beyond, with QuantaFlex® solutions, you can effectively reduce weight, UHMWPE fabric also can has excellent properties of low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, and high transmissivity, bring composites better performance. It is suitable for both hard composite reinforcement and flexible composite reinforcement.
