Nittobo FlatFibers for exceptional dimensional stability

Supplied by Nittobo

In the automobile industry, transition to electric vehicles (EV) are driving car manufacturers to replace metal parts with lighter FRPs. Warpage is generated due to non-uniform shrinkage during the injection process. The challenge is to reduce warping in molded FRP parts while maintaining or enhancing the physical properties of the composite material.

Nittobo offers a range of chopped glass fiber strands with a modified cross section. The advantages include low warpage, enhanced tensile strength, and greater dimensional stability.
