395°C Reinforced Thermoplastic Laminate process
The 395°C Reinforced Thermoplastic Laminate Process is a consolidation technology for the production of high-performance thermoplastic organo sheets. It is the first production method to reach 395°C on platens, thanks to thermofluid for optimum temperature control, with an accuracy of ±1°C measured on the platens under steady-state conditions. It ensures even temperature distribution across the entire platen surface.
The 395 RTL process provides greater consistency in polymer crystallization, and consequently in the mechanical performance of consolidated slabs.
This technological advance paves the way for very large, temperature-homogeneous platens for the production of high-performance reinforced thermoplastic organo sheets.
