The material properties of our thermoplastic composites can be found in our Product Data Sheets. In addition to this basic data, special properties are explained in our «Technical Information». This series of documents is updated constantly. The following documentation has been made available to date:

• QPC REACH Declaration (pdf - 774kb)

• Advanced glass-mat thermoplastic composite applications for the automotive industry (pdf - 259kb)

• Structural Bumper Beams made in GMTex^TM (pdf - 196kb)

• Numerical simulation of the crash performance of structural components in GMT (pdf - 207kb)

• Creep of GMT (pdf - 96kb)

• Adhesive bonding of GMT components (pdf - 78kb)

• Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Fabric reinforced GMT in Moulded Components
  (pdf - 127kb)

• The Rate Influence on Mechanical Properties of GMT (pdf - 78kb)

• Glass fibre length and Toughness of GMT versus LFT (pdf - 69kb)

Our Design Guides (pdf - 48kb - only available in German) can provide initial important information which should be dealt with more extensively in a discussion when designing components made of our thermoplastic composites.

Should you have processing problems with our thermoplastic composites, an application-engineering consultancy session is certainly the best way of solving these problems. Please refer to our Processing Guidelines (pdf - 1MB) for initial suggestions.
