TeXtreme® UD Tapes for AFP
TeXtreme® Spread Tow UD Tapes for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) are precision-engineered to meet the demands of high-volume composite manufacturing. Developed with advanced binder technology, these unidirectional tapes deliver consistent placement, superior handling, and efficient material utilization across a wide range of automated layup systems.
Optimized for automation, the tapes enable accurate preforming of complex geometries, supporting repeatable, high-quality laminate production with minimal manual intervention. The Spread Tow Thin-Ply construction ensures a flat, crimp-free architecture for optimal load transfer and structural efficiency, while the integrated binder system facilitates form stability during placement and compaction.
TeXtreme® UD Tapes for AFP support a streamlined manufacturing process that delivers lightweight, high-strength composite components with precision and repeatability.
