Composites

Nanocomposite delivers extreme fracture toughness.

Toughened with carbon nanotubes, ArovexÂ-® HT features Kentera™ technology, which acts as bridge between carbon nanomaterials and resin matrix. Kentera effectively disperses nanomaterials, allowing their mechanical property advantages to transfer loads from resin matrix to fibers, resulting in stronger products. Prepreg optimizes durability of carbon fiber products found in sporting goods,...
