Tegris® Thermoplastic Composite Overview

TEGRIS®

LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION AGAINST FRAGMENT, PROJECTILE OR BLAST THREATS

IMPACT RESISTANCE > RIGIDITY > WEIGHT REDUCTION

Tegris® is a 100% polypropylene composite thermoplastic composite which provides impact resistance and stiffness at a lighter weight than traditional thermoplastics and composites.

DESIGNED FOR HEAVY—DUTY OFTEN DANGEROUS WORK, TEGRIS® IS ENGINEERED FOR THE MOST EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND SHRAPNEL OR PROJECTILES AND AVOID CRACKING IN TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS —40°C AND; WITH APPROXIMATELY 70% THE STRENGTH OF CARBON FIBRE, AT AROUND A TENTH OF THE PRICE, DELIVERS FUNCTION, PERFORMANCE AND AESTHETICS ALONG WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES FOR DESIGN, CREATIVITY AND MANUFACTURING

LIGHTWEIGHT RIGIDITY

HIGH STIFFNESS TO WEIGHT RATIO AND CONSOLIDATED CONSTRUCTION, BASED ON LOW DENSITY THERMOPLASTICS, REDUCES THE WEIGHT OF TEGRIS® SIGNIFICANTLY MAKING IT A SUITABLE STIFFENING AGENT FOR APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE RIGIDITY
WATER RESISTANCE

NATURALLY HYDROPHOBIC FOR MARITIME PURSUITS, WITH A HIGH WATER RESISTANCE THAT REDUCES BOTH WEIGHT AND RADAR TRANSPARENCY TO STAY UNDETECTED, TEGRIS® BOOSTS OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND WILL NOT ABSORB ADDITIONAL WEIGHT UNDER INCLEMENT WEATHER
USABILITY

EASY TO CUT, HANDLE OR BOND WITH OTHER LAYERS, WITH MINIMAL MACHINE OR TOOL WEAR, WHETHER PRESSED INTO PANELS, LASER CUT OR COMPRESSION MOLDED, TEGRIS® CAN OFFER DESIRED STRUCTURE AND PERFORMANCE
MAXIMUM STRENGTH

HIGHLY SUITABLE FOR BALLISTIC ARMOUR WITH ITS SUPERIOR COLD TEMPERATURE IMPACT RESISTANCE, TEGRIS® OUTPERFORMS MOST THERMOPLASTICS AND COMPOSITES EVEN AT —40°C
VALUE AND INNOVATION

WHEN INTEGRATED WITH OTHER MATERIALS TEGRIS® OFFERS ADDITIONAL WEIGHT AND COST SAVINGS FOR EQUAL, OR GREATER, PERFORMANCE
ECO FRIENDLY

EASY TO APPLY WITH LOW MAINTENANCE, TEGRIS® COMPOSITES ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM 100% POLYPROPYLENE AND ARE FULLY RECYCLABLE
