Formulated with a small particle size, Hydrosize PA845 is reported to display excellent film forming properties. It is solvent, VOC and alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) free, and is also fully compliant with the EC Directives on plastics for food applications. This allows its use in far reaching carbon fibre-based applications.
With this combination of properties, Hydrosize PA845 is being targetted at applications where continuous use temperatures are high. Suggested applications for carbon fibre treated with Hydrosize PA845 fibre sizing include military, transportation, aerospace and automotive components.
