KompoGTe®

KompoGTe® is reinforced composite material. Two or more materials are artificially bind to bring out the superior characteristics from each or to create a whole new properties. KompoGTe® can be categorized into two, Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic(LFT) and Uni-Directional Tape (UD Tape) which is made by continuous fiber. LF T and UD Tape have super ior proper t ies comparing to reinforced and unreinforced materials in properties such strength, fatigue, low wear, impact modify, and etc. Therefore, not only auto industry have large interest in KompoGTe®, but sports, ship, construction, energy industries also have their highlight on it. We, Kolon Plastics, have our own unique impregnation technology enable us to produce reinforced composite material with excellent properties.

CHARACTERISTIC OF KompoGTe® KompoGTe®

Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic & Uni-directional Tape

LFT

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

KompoGTe® LFT is produced through optimized impregnation technology. Continuous Glass Fiber and Carbon Fiber are added to Polypropylene and Polyamide to acquire better stiffness and strength. Grades reinforced with glass fiber have superior stif fness, and we provide various glass fiber reinforced grades.

LENGTH OF REINFORCEMENTS

The length of KompoGTe® LFT pellet is controlled by pultrusion method to 10mm. Remaining length of glass fiber after injection molding is 10 times longer than SGF reinforced grade, enabling KompoGTe® LFT to perform better mechanical properties.

UD TAPE

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

KompoGTe® UD Tape is a material manufactured using optimized impregnation technology of Kolon plastic. It exhibits higher specific modulus and strength compared to traditional metal materials and plastic materials, and has higher impact strength than thermoset composite materials. By selectively using reinforcement materials and base materials according to the application field, we supply customers with Grade optimized for customers.

EFFICIENT MOLDING PROPERTIES

The KompoGTe® UD Tape is able to form a process that can be molded in less time and with less energy than conventional thermosetting composite mater ials. These processes enable ef f ic ient production and can be applied to the development of high quality applications.
