EcoRein® UD
Unique material for eco-design & performance
EcoRein® UD is thermoplastic-based prepreg reinforced with unidirectionally aligned flax fibers.
The reinforcing flax fibers are carbon-neutral, renewable and light (similar to carbon fiber and 40% lighter than glass). Unidirectionally aligned flax fibers in EcoRein® UD family provide the maximum performance possible through fiber direction.
Besides bio-based reinforcing fibers, the optional polymer type in EcoRein® UD family, polypropylene for recyclability, and polylactic acid for enhanced biodegradability, helps designers to go further in the circularity approach.
The patent-pending manufacturing technology of BPREG enables scalable and affordable production of unidirectional natural-fiber prepregs. Moreover, wide width unidirectional prepreg (up to 150 cm) production in continuos form is now possible with BPREG's unique technique.
EcoRein® UD family is suitable for all thermoforming processes (compression moulding, vacuum moulding, injection overmolding and automated tape laying) and compatible with varied materials such as non-woven and wovens (natural, glass or carbon fiber based), decorative fabrics, honeycomb structures.
EcoRein® UD family is available in rolls of 100 cm wide or as flat sheets in required dimensions. Upon request, we can design & manufacture plates in varied stacking sequences. No specific precautions in handling, composite manufacturing, storage, packaging, and transport are required.
