Thermoplastic unidirectional tapes (UD tapes) are high-performance composite materials where continuous fibers, such as carbon or glass, are impregnated with a thermoplastic matrix like PEEK, PA, or PE. They offer exceptional strength and lightweight properties, with fibers aligned in one direction to maximize tensile strength and stiffness for innovative component design.

RaxPanel UD Tapes provide high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and recyclability. They significantly outperform metal sheets of the same thickness, allow for complex thermoformed geometries, and can be overmolded or co-molded with other thermoplastic materials for integrated functionality.

Our UD tapes are available in a wide range of combinations, including glass or carbon fibers with thermoplastic resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and high-performance polymers like PEEK. Fiber content typically ranges from 50% to 70% by weight.

UD tapes can be processed using automated tape laying (ATL), advanced fiber placement (AFP), thermoforming, press molding, or winding. Layers can be consolidated into laminates with specific fiber orientations, heated, and formed into complex shapes. They are also compatible with injection molding for hybrid components.

These tapes are ideal for automotive, aerospace, industrial, sports equipment, and construction applications. They are used in lightweight structural components, pressure-resistant pipes, protective panels, and any application requiring high strength, durability, and design flexibility.

Yes, we offer customization in width (up to 1200 mm), thickness (0.20–0.35 mm), resin type, fiber content, and color. Tapes are available in rolls or sheets, with optional features like UV stability or flame retardancy, tailored to meet specific performance requirements.

UD tapes should be stored in undamaged, waterproof packaging at a maximum temperature of 30°C. We guarantee a storage time of two years under these conditions to ensure material performance and reliability.

We are a direct manufacturer with over 20 years of experience and in-house R&D, design, and production capabilities. Our materials are highly engineered continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic UD tapes and laminates offered in a wide range of continuous fiber and resin combinations to increase stiffness, strength, and impact resistance. We guarantee a storage time of two years in undamaged packaging at a maximum temperature of 30°C, ensuring material consistency and performance for your production needs. Serving clients in 30+ countries, we maintain a daily output of 1500+ m² to support bulk orders and supply chain stability.

We offer fully customizable production, including tailored low weight specifications and panel making services. Our UD tapes are available in a wide range of continuous fiber and resin combinations, with customization of width, thickness, resin matrix, and color (e.g., natural, black, or by request). The materials can be post-formed and co-molded with mixed thermoplastic materials in thermoforming and injection molding processes to achieve part designs that meet demanding performance targets. We provide technical support and testing of material data, ensuring optimal processing parameters for your specific applications.

Yes, we provide comprehensive technical information, including detailed technical data sheets (TDS), performance test reports, and material samples upon request. Our UD tapes are characterized by standardized parameters such as tensile strength, flexural modulus, and interlaminar shear strength, with test methods aligned to ASTM and ISO standards. This data supports design innovation, compliance with regulations, and integration into project blueprints.
