After years of experience with PEBA based products reinforced Carbon Fibre, Xenia Materials finally introduces in the market a new family of compounds PEBA reinforced Glass Fibre: XEGLASS 17.
PEBA is a flexible polyamide, plasticiser free, which distinguishes itself by outstanding dynamic features able to damp vibrations and noise, even at high frequencies. This low friction polymeric base is characterised by high creep resistance, low density, excellent flexibility, high energy return and impact strength over a wide temperature range.
The glass fibre reinforcement allows the achievement of mechanical features, much greater than the ones of the pure polymer. The glass fibre emphasises the high chemical resistance and the great impact strength at low temperatures. Furthermore, XEGLASS 17 composites have low hygroscopic absorption and dimensional stability, they are colourable and they are available also in bio-compatible grades.
By combining the outstanding aesthetic quality and the easy processability, XEGLASS 17 grades meet the requirements of sport, consumer and industrial goods sectors.
