This document summarizes the material properties and mechanical data of high-strength structural parts made of thermoplastic polyamide matrix reinforced with continuous fibers. Key benefits include light weight, ability to be thermoformed, weldability, chemical resistance, and recyclability. Mechanical testing shows the parts have high tensile strength, flexural modulus, and Young's modulus due to a perfect unidirectional orientation of the continuous fibers in the polyamide matrix, as evidenced by computed tomography scans.

Perfect unidirectional fiber orientation
To achieve high mechanical properties a perfect unidirec-
tional fiber orientation in the polyamide matrix is essential. The fiber orientation of the TKP pultrusion parts can be Technoform Kunststoffprofile GmbH seen in the high quality (3k) computed tomography scan Otto-Hahn-Straße 34 on the left. thermoplastic polyamide matrix (PA6) 34253 Lohfelden Germany The picture shows: - homogenous distribution of the fiber in the matrix T +49 561 95839-00 - no voids F +49 561 95839-21 - unidirectional fiber orientation E info.tkpde@technoform.com - no delamination - good fiber-matrix bonding I www.technoform.com
