UNIMAT™: From Recycled Carbon Fibre to High-Performance Reinforcement for Composites

Watch our Business Development Manager, Taurean Young, in conversation with ThermoForged at CAMX, exploring the technology behind UNIMAT™ and the opportunities it creates for recycled and post-industrial carbon fibre.

UNIMAT™: Giving Recycled Carbon Fibre a New Direction

What happens when discontinuous carbon fibres are given a new direction?

In this CAMX conversation with ThermoForged, Taurean Young takes a closer look at UNIMAT™ and how discontinuous recycled and post-industrial carbon fibres can be realigned with up to 95% fibre alignment.

The conversation also looks beyond alignment. UNIMAT™ enables fibres to be commingled with thermoplastics, creating opportunities for processes such as stamping and compression moulding, with potential applications across markets including aerospace, automotive and sporting goods.

Watch the full ThermoForged conversation to discover more about the technology and its potential for composite manufacturing.

UNIMAT™ Unidirectional Nonwovens

UNIMAT is the range of highly aligned, discontinuous fibre materials created by James Cropper's VECTIS technology. These materials combine directional performance and mechanical integrity with conformability and handling ease. This makes UNIMAT an ideal alternative to UD tapes for demanding composite applications, enabling greater design freedom, manufacturing efficiency, and sustainability.
