Persico Teams Up with Structura/IQ Holding to Create a New Thermoplastic PBT Composite Material

Composite Materials

Italy-based Persico has teamed up with Structura/IQ Holding to create a new thermoplastic PBT composite material. For the material the company impregnates thermoplastic PBT with fibres such as glass, carbon and basalt. The resulting thermoformable material is recyclable, environmentally friendly and made without VOCs or toxic emissions.

Persico supplies the material in coils ready for thermoforming. The pre-forms is heated at temperatures in excess of 250°C, put into a cold male/female mould and left to cool down under pressure. The high crystallization temperature of the PBT makes the forming process extremely fast making the line's production potential very high.
