FLAXPREG T-UD

Product catalog summary

Description: FLAXPREG T-UD is a pre-impregnated material utilizing an epoxy resin system with unidirectional (UD) flax fibers, known as FlaxTapeTM, developed by LINEO.

Main Markets and Advantages:

Sport and Leisure: Used in rackets, bicycle frames, skis, and boards for improved dampening properties.
Transportation: Applied in aeronautics, automotive, boat manufacturing, and railways for weight reduction, mechanical and acoustic properties, and bio-based material benefits.
Wind Energy: Utilized in development projects for dampening properties and weight reduction.
