Nittobo glass FlatFiber for reduced warpage in FRPs

Case Study | Supplied by Nittobo

In the automobile industry increasingly stringent legislation regulating fuel economy, are driving car manufacturers to replace metal parts with lighter FRPs. While FRPs can be engineered to endure these extreme conditions, the replacement of metals with FRPs has proven challenging due to the issue of warpage.

Due to their unique shape, Nittobo FlatFibers exhibit some very useful characteristics that include low warpage, enhanced tensile strength, and greater dimensional stability.
