Tenax - Chopped Fiber for Enhanced Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Applications
Tenax Chopped Fibers offer versatile solutions for a myriad of applications across different industries, including aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, and renewable energy. These fibers are specifically engineered to enhance mechanical strength while providing weight reduction, a critical factor in many industrial applications. Available in lengths ranging from 3 mm to 25 mm, they exhibit superior dispersion properties in compounds, making them suitable for automated manufacturing processes. The fibers are designed to improve electrical properties, offering solutions for electromagnetic shielding and applications requiring enhanced chemical resistance. Their adaptability extends to thermoplastic applications such as PC, PA, POM, and ABS, as well as high-temperature processes like PEEK and PAEK. Additionally, they accommodate water-based processes, which makes them applicable in slurry systems like paper. The innovative nickel-coated variants of Tenax Chopped Fibers further provide high electrical conductivity for specialized applications.
Tenax™ Chopped Fibers are suitable for low- and high-temperature thermoplastic compounding processes and master batch pre-blends. Available in lengths from 3 mm to 25 mm, the fibers provide increased mechanical strength with weight reductions. Tenax™ Chopped Fibers enhance the electrical properties for ESD or full conductive applications, including for adhesives, resin systems, coatings, and specialty paper.
Tenax™ C-Series Chopped Fibers
Pillared-shaped types, featuring a bundled structure in compliance with the cut length.
Tenax™ P-Series Chopped Fibers
Rice-shaped types, manufactured from filament yarn cut in 3 mm lengths, with a unique pellet shape for improved feeding in manufacturing processes.
Both the C-Series and P-Series provide superior dispersion in compounds and are ideal for manufacturing using automatic feeding operations, including volumetric, gravimetric, vibrating tray and screw feeding in thermoplastic compounding operations.
Tenax™ Chopped Fibers can be used for a wide range of applications, such as the gas diffusion layer in fuel cells, cement or concrete reinforcement, electromagnetic shielding, and other applications where enhanced chemical resistance is required.
