High Performing Thermoformable Composites
Contoura prepregs and finished composite panels combine the benefits of Acrodur resin with a variety of natural, recycled, or synthetic fibers. The use of thermoset and thermoplastic grades of Acrodur resins provide a wide range of performance features from
increased thermo-mechanical stability, increased rigidity, and up to 20% lighter weight than other nonwoven fiber composites. These properties and more make Contoura an ideal fit for aerospace applications. Features
