The Latest Technology in Carbon Fiber Composites Has Arrived
Aerolite Carbon is an advanced carbon fiber textile impregnated with a proprietary thermoplastic alloy resin. The unique material chemistry and construction allow Aerolite Carbon sheets to stretch uniformly when heated to form deep draws and sharp angles on simple, one-sided tooling in a single-step process.
- Compatible with existing thermoforming equipment
- Short cycle time – high throughput
- Forms complex geometry in a single step
- Lightweight strength
- Cost-effective, affordable performance
