Thermoplastic Polyamide Uni-directional (UD) Prepreg, Reny Tape

Reny Tape is made of continuous fibers impregnated with high-performance polyamide resin.

It has high strength/stiffness, low moisture uptake and excellent stability of physical properties.

It can be used as a replacement for metal, or as a welding or reinforcement for metal, making products and parts lighter and thinner.
