TAFNEX™ Structural Sheets are manufactured through full-surface stacking of UD tape layers, followed by consolidation in a press. Each layer is customizable to meet specific application requirements. Whether you prefer ready-to-use sheets or want to produce them yourself using TAFNEX™ UD Tape, we’ve got you covered. Discover how to make your own sheets by clicking on the button below.
TAFNEX™ Structural Sheets are also available as hybrids, combining TAFNEX™’s carbon fiber sheet with glass or natural fiber sheets. Choose the right fiber for each layer to fine-tune the cost-performance ratio to create the ideal solution for your application.
Each tape layer in TAFNEX™ Structural Sheets can be aligned to meet specific load demands. Whether you need a pure unidirectional structure, a cross-ply layout, or a fully customized fiber orientation, the possibilities are wide open.
TAFNEX™ Structural Sheets are manufactured to your specifications, with thicknesses starting from approximately 0.3 mm (two layers). While most applications fall within the 0.5 to 3 mm range, higher thicknesses are possible as well.
TAFNEX™ Structural Sheets are made to your required dimensions, not restricted by standard sizes. Sheets can be produced up to 3 meters in both length and width.
A thin TAFNEX™ Structural Sheet is formed and overmolded with a PP-GF compound to create a drone frame with built-in functionality that simplifies the overall assembly effort.
To enhance the overall performance of electric vehicle (EV) underbodies, a few carbon fiber-reinforced layers are integrated into a glass fiber-reinforced sheet. This thick hybrid TAFNEX™ Structural Sheet offers dual functionality, providing both underbody protection and battery shielding in a single component.
A thin TAFNEX™ Structural Sheet is thermoformed into a high-performance diving fin blade. The layer structure is optimized to achieve the ideal balance between stiffness and flexibility for an exceptional underwater experience.
Through thermoforming, a TAFNEX™ Structural Sheet can be shaped into a high-performance, lightweight bicycle saddle, offering strength and design flexibility.
Overmolding a thick TAFNEX™ Structural Sheet with a PP-GF compound results in a front bumper beam that features built-in functionality, thereby streamlining the overall assembly effort.
