Prepreg or pre impregnated fabrics are fabrics made from various types of technical fibers (glass, aramid, natural fibers...) from different armatures, which have been impregnated with thermoplastic matrix (polyester, polyamide...).
These fabrics, once assembled in layers, create high-performance thermoplastic laminates, through a process of compression and thermoforming.

Distinctive elements
Market opportunities
These products are particularly suitable for various markets:
- Cases: composites impact performance and lightness allow the production of customized items, ranging from suitcases to bags and cases, especially designed for technical equipment
- Automotive & Transportation: structural and non-structural pieces specifically meant for external and internal panels of cars, vans and boats
- Sport equipment: the lightweight and exceptional resistance make our composites a versatile solution for sporting applications, such as helmets, boots, skates...
- Building: non-structural panels for internal decorations, thanks to the optimal balance between lightness and moulding
- Security & Defense: high impact resistance is suitable for ballistic applications, ranging from general protective equipment to customized solutions
- Energy: thermoplastic composites are often studied to replace metal solutions. Due to their high mechanical performance and lightweight properties, they are ideal for wind blades and electrical energy
