Thermplastic Prepreg | MaruHachi

In the activities of Composite material, we are a woven and knitting fabricator & Prepreger of thermo-set and thermo-plastics.  8exe® (Eightex) is our brand name of thermo-plastic prepreg which has varieties of uni-Directional prepreg (W 1,000mm x L 1,000 M or more), fabric prepregs (Inc. Spread thin-layer fabrics), and random prepregs.

Also, semi-finished products as pre-Formed materials such as laminates, rods, NCF styled, etc. are available.

In these thermo-plastic materials, reinforcement fibers of CF,GF, AF, and others are available, besides the matrix resin system availabilities of PE, PP, TPU, PA6, PA/L, PPS, PEI, PES, LCP. PEEK, and more.

We are to supply tailored Composite materials along with your requirements to build up new applications in composites together.

We can also support process design from our material expert’s view point. The integrated knowledge of material and process should be the best options for the customers.
